WOULD you pay $375,000 to see your favourite bands perform at a festival?

Melbourne’s newest music and lifestyle festival The Bureau is promoting a never-before-seen package for an eye watering price, inviting international guests to be flown in via private jet with 10 friends from Vietnam to Melbourne to enjoy the one-day festival.

Kicking things off in Ho Chi Minh, guests will check out Swedish musical duo Axwell Ingrosso performing on their Sun is Shining tour on December 10, before making their way to Melbourne.

Taking place at Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Friday 11 December, The Bureau recently announced its inaugural line-up, featuring The Temptations, Pseudo Echo, C+C Music Factory, Charles Bradley and homegrown talents including Saskwatch and Andy Bull, Tasmanian singer-songwriter Asta, trio Cookin’ On 3 Burners and rockers Magic America.

Here’s what you get for your $375,000 Golden Ticket:

• A return private jet from Ho Chi Minh to Melbourne and back.

• Accommodation at the luxurious Crown Towers

• VIP access to the corporate marquee at The Bureau Festival.

• A day of food and entertainment

• A luxury private premium booth at popular Melbourne nightclub, Ms Collins

• All transfers inclusive over the weekend in luxury SUVs and Mercedes-Benz vans

• 24-hour concierge support for the duration of the tour

• A scenic helicopter tour of the Yarra Valley, including lunch at Yering Station, along with dinner at a premium Melbourne restaurant

• A VIP shopping tour

• A premium cocktail package at Bond Bar

But for music lovers on a slightly lesser budget, don’t despair. Tickets are still available for $119 + booking fee, minus the VIP access and luxury treatment.
