Groups in fact have to pay a registration fee to attend these events. Although there are cash prizes for the best singsing - on many occasions the winning group never get to see the prize money or if they do - only a portion. Hope you can make it back next year!R Hi Julie,

Appreciate the response to my rather “strong” comment. Groups in fact have to pay a registration fee to attend these events. Although there are cash prizes for the best singsing – on many occasions the winning group never get to see the prize money or if they do – only a portion. Hope you can make it back next year!

If I ever make a 2nd visit, I will know to give donations, as I do in Melb if I stop and listen to exceptional talent. Keep up the great website, Regards, Julie Greetings Robert, my apologies for not understanding the system re entrance money- silly me thought that the sing sing groups would be reimbursed for their out of pocket expenses in getting to the show.

The money you paid towards your ticket "theoretically" goes towards the show funds for next year (note that I said theoretically) and this is a great contribution.I remain adamant that tourists (although buying K100 tickets) need to learn to appreciate the effort that these local groups go through and perhaps throw a few coins their way to assist with food/travel and lodgings costs.R With all respect Julie I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say – the proceeds from the gate takings – whether K3 or K100 per ticket takings – end up in the pocket of the organisers – none ends up going back to singsing groups.

It was quite a spectacle. However I did take some offence at your comment about the tourists taking photos outside the gates and not paying any money. I was outside on day 2 but I had a 2 day ticket and wanted to see the action outside the grounds as the goups assembled, I then later mingled inside. I purchased my (more expensive) ticket so that the profits generated could be used for future shows. Regards, Julie I enjoyed reading your comments re Goroka show and viewing your photos.
