The process for joining ABOTMA as a member or renewing your ABOTMA membership has changed.


For some time our membership system has needed replacing.  After a lot of  research, Try Booking was selected as it is used by many community and not for profit associations.

ABOTMA members now receive a membership card with a Member Number and their supplied member email on it.  To access member discounted tickets in Humanitix, either the Member Number or member email address on the membership card must be entered before member tickets can be seen to be purchased. 


Life members also receive a membership card with a golden hue to reflect their status as valued supports and members of the Mountaingrass Festival community.  

More detail about the membership changes is available on the Membership page.  The most important change is to our membership periods - they now commence on 1 July each year and expire 30 June.   You can still buy your membership whenever you want.


Mountaingrass Festival Tickets are on sale from 31 July 2025.  See our Ticket page for details.


The  membership changes caused a delay with releasing tickets for sale as we wanted to ensure the transition was as smooth as possible for members.
