About Brisbane Powerhouse

Brisbane Powerhouse is a contemporary multi-arts and cultural hub located in a repurposed power station in New Farm, Brisbane, Queensland. The venue presents a year‑round program of theatre, comedy, live music, dance, visual arts, writers’ events, festivals, and community activities. In addition to ticketed performances, Brisbane Powerhouse offers venue hire for private and corporate events, bars and dining options on site, workshops and special programs, and often hosts free exhibitions and public events.

A charge from Brisbane Powerhouse is most commonly related to tickets you purchased for a show, festival, comedy event, or special performance. You may also see a charge for food and beverage purchased in advance (such as prepaid packages or vouchers), venue hire deposits or balances, workshop or program fees, gift vouchers, or donations made through their website. In some cases, you might see a temporary authorization when you first place an order or update your payment details, especially for online bookings; this usually appears as a pending or small test amount and then either converts to the final ticket charge or drops off. Recurring charges are less common but can occur if you’ve set up a membership, regular donation, or ongoing program enrollment.

To verify a Brisbane Powerhouse charge, start by checking your email for ticket confirmations, event receipts, or booking invoices from brisbanepowerhouse.org around the transaction date. Log into your Brisbane Powerhouse or ticketing account (if you created one) to review your order history and download receipts. If something doesn’t look right, contact Brisbane Powerhouse via the contact or box office details listed on their official website, providing your full name, the last four digits of the card used, the transaction date, and the amount. Common issues—such as double bookings, incorrect ticket dates, or not receiving confirmation emails—are usually resolved by the box office team, who can resend confirmations, adjust bookings where possible, or advise on eligibility for refunds or exchanges according to the venue’s ticketing policies.
