Frequently asked questions
EVENT DAY
Can I take my own water bottle on the course?
Yes. In-fact we are encouraging this as we try to reduce our footprint on the environment. You can refill at any of the water stations on course. We have a total of 4 water stations on the course (including the finish line). If you plan on taking a disposable water bottle or use our single use cups, please dispose of at a water station bin thoughtfully when no longer required.
Is bag drop free?
At this stage our 2021 events will not have a bag drop to align with our COVIDSafe planning. Please refer to the Event Day Info on the webpage of the stadium you are stair climbing for latest updates.
What should I bring?
- A copy of your confirmation receipt
- A copy of your signed waiver (SA and QLD only)
- Layers – you’ll get hot quickly climbing stairs but cool down equally as quickly after you finish if the weather is chilly. Check the forecast and be prepared. remember: No bag drop this year (2021) so bring what you can carry or leave it in the car.
- A water bottle (for environmental reasons) otherwise water stations will be on course with single use cups.
- A smile! Remember you paid to do this
Will I be photographed on course?
Yes. We use the professionals at Supersport images who will have photos available to view and/or purchase on their website within 48 hours of the event. All participants should be emailed a link to view their images by Supersport images when they become available (check your spam)
Can I carry my baby in a harness on the course?
Sorry no. Accidents can happen and we’d hate for you to have an accident whilst carrying your child. We suggest making arrangements with someone you know prior to the event to baby sit or look after your child in the spectator bay at the event whilst you stomp
Can I wear a weight vest on the course?
This is permitted, but please expect to have this checked and searched at point of entry and again at the start line
Can I do this without shoes on?
Is there a time limit to complete my Stomp?
Stadium Stomp is not a timed event.
Participants will have until 2 hours after the last full course wave of the day (2.5 hours for Melbourne) to complete the full course. After this time, announcements will be made over the bowl mic and a member of the Stadium Stomp Operations team will direct any participants remaining on course to make their way down to the field of play to complete their finisher lap.
If there are minimal people on course and resources permit, consideration will be given by the Event Director to allow the participant(s) to continue in conjunction with either a Stadium Stomp volunteer or event staff member following them. NB. The course may be packed-down around participants as this process occurs.
To allow yourself the most time to complete the course, we recommend registering for an early wave time.
REGISTRATION
Can I get a refund?
2020 Ticket Holders – You must have re-registered for your replacement event (using the promo code you were provided via email in late Feb/early March – check spam) in order to seek a refund. If you have not re-registered and do not have a ticket for an event yet to happen, your ticket date has now passed and we can no longer refund you.
Registrations affected by a date change – Registered participants that have had their event date moved due to COVID have had since July for the first date change and September 2021 for the second date change to ask for a refund should the new date not suit. With the passing of both these rescheduled dates (the last of which was 24 Oct), we have now reverted back to our standard terms for refunds which can be viewed here.
We recommend you purchase refund protection with your ticket for full refund coverage for any reason other than event cancellation, through third party operator Active Refund. For this reason, Stadium Stomp does not refund unless it’s on medical or health grounds where a certificate is required (and then we refund up to 50% of your ticket purchase price). You must have purchased refund protection to seek a full refund.
To lodge an Active Refund request click here. Please have your Reference ID supplied by Active Refund handy.
We are happy to transfer your entry to someone else if you can find a replacement. See “Can I transfer my registration?” in these FAQs for more on this. Cut-off dates apply and no transfers will be granted after event bibs have been posted (around 3 weeks out from your event).

Please read carefully the instructions and the notes here as essentially the new person will need to pay for the ticket at the current price but once done, you will be refunded your 2021 ticket price automatically.

If cut-off dates have been initiated (3 weeks out from your event), no transfes will be possible.
Can I change wave times?
Pending availability in your preferred wave time, you can change wave times or even course length from your account login here. For instruction click here. (PLEASE NOTE: If you have a personalised bib associated with our Super Early Bird offer (not available in 2021), changing wave times MAY result in a loss of your personalised bib – applicable for changes three weeks or less out from the event).
You will be charged or refunded any price differences from course lengths and alerted prior to payment if you make this change. Straight wave time changes within the same category (course length) may involve a fee as you will be charged the difference of your purchase price and the current ticket price. Cut-off dates for you to do this yourself will apply (typically 3 weeks out from your event). Any changes after this will need to be requested by contacting us.

Can I transfer my registration to another city/event?

If you’re replacement event costs less than your original purchase, NO refund will be offered for the difference.
When do registrations close?

SCG and MCG participants will need to sign the e-waiver. When registering and paying for yourself this happens as part of the registration process.
