The party has dubbed its policy the Affordable Ticket Scheme, which would mandate that major events receiving state government funding or using state government-funded venues make a portion of tickets available through a lottery. Only open to Victorian residents, the scheme would make $50 the maximum price of event tickets. The Greens say it lottery would include events such as the Australian Open, major international concerts and sporting events like the NFL, with the Greens committing an initial $2 million to establish the scheme. The party said it modelled the scheme partially on a similar one run in New York City by Mayor Zohran Mamdani during the FIFA World Cup. Greens leader Ellen Sandell said the scheme would open up events to Victorians who might otherwise not be able to afford them. "Melbourne prides itself on being the sporting and live music capital of Australia, but more and more Victorians are being priced out of the very events that make our city great," Ms Sandell said. "These events often receive enormous amounts of taxpayer funding, and many are held in venues built and maintained with public money. If organisers are benefiting from public funding, the public should get something back." Have Your Say on the Victorian election We want to know what's shaping your vote in this election and why.
