(a) Tourism WA is unaware of the number of complimentary tickets allocated to Murdoch University as this information is held as commercial in confidence by the Event organisers.
(b) Yes, all complimentary tickets to the event will be included in the overall attendance figures.
(b) (i) Irrespective of how a person accesses a ticket, they are still an attendee.
(c) The Event organisers advised Tourism WA that they did not offer refunds to Murdoch University staff and students who had already purchased tickets.
(d) Given online activity, anti-scalping measures to control re-sale of tickets is notoriously difficult to enforce. Tourism Western Australia is not aware of the resale of any tickets.
(e) The Event organisers have advised that the ticket offer was not made to Murdoch University due to low ticket interest, rather this initiative was part of a broader strategic partnership between the event organisers and Murdoch University.
