Introduction
Welcome
Welcome to Geelong Sports Museum (GSM). We hope you enjoy your visit.
Kardinia Park Stadium Trust (KPST, we, our or us) operates the GSM. From time to time, we allow
patrons who have purchased tickets to events occurring on our lands (Event Tickets) to enter the
GSM without purchasing a separate ticket to the GSM. We also provide for the separate sale of
tickets to the GSM (GSM Tickets and, together with Event Tickets, Tickets), typically for use on nonevent days.
By entering the GSM, you, as the original purchaser of a Ticket or as a subsequent admission
ticket-holder (referred to as you or your), agree to be bound by and adhere to these terms and
conditions (Ts & Cs). These Ts & Cs apply to any area considered by us to be part of the GSM (the
GSM Areas). These Ts & Cs and use of and access to the GSM Areas are governed by the laws of
Victoria and we may vary these Ts & Cs at any time.
