About Hoddle
Making it easier to discover what's on in Melbourne
Melbourne has an incredible cultural scene, but finding events shouldn't be as challenging as it is.
Finding what's on often means checking multiple ticketing sites, signing up for endless newsletters, and manually tracking venues, or worse, missing your favourite artist because you found out too late. We thought there had to be a better way.
Set custom alerts for what you actually care about, explore pricing trends across our entire database, and dive into our archive preserving Melbourne's cultural history for future reference and research.
One Search, Every Event
Stop checking multiple websites. Find concerts, theatre, sports and festivals all in one place.
Smart Alerts, Your Way
Ditch the spam. Set custom notifications for exactly what you want, like your favourite artists, venues or event types.
Powerful Insights
Compare ticket prices across categories, spot seasonal trends and discover the best value events.
