Kids from the Queensland Children’s Hospital had the massive responsibility of being official showbag testers at this year’s launch, but they were up to the task.
One of the official showbag testers, Noah Lowe, said he had so many favourite showbags but eventually landed on the Chicago Bulls bag as his top pick.
“It is so cool to see all the showbags and pick the one you think is the best,” he said.
With just 18 days to go, RNA chief executive Brendan Christou said the official countdown for Ekka had begun with the unveiling of this year’s showbags and the launch of the last major pre-Show discount ticket sale.
“As a not-for-profit organisation, we want to ensure the Ekka is affordable and can be enjoyed on any budget,” Mr Christou said.
“The special 20 per cent off ticket sale to launch showbags also helps provide hip pocket relief.
“This year’s incredible range of showbags has an enormous amount of exciting new titles. With bags starting at just $5 there really is something for everyone.”
Snag the huge 20 per cent off deal until midnight, July 27.
Plus if you purchase a child Ekka ticket on August 14 and 15, you can get a child’s entry ticket to Dreamworld, valued at $119.
