Is it illegal to sell glowsticks at the skyshow?
Submitted by Just1morecast on Thu, 2010-01-21 19:14
I know its not fishing but myself and a guy from work were chatting and came accross the subject of glowstick selling. You know the people that walk around the skyshow with the glow sticks around there head, neck, wrist etc. Do you need a licence for it? My opinion was you did, he however thought it was just something you buy and walk round sell and anyone off the street can do it.
Just a random discussion for everyone haha. Btw happy Oz day coming up for everyone:)

i think what you will find
i think what you will find is that you need a vendors permit from each council that you will sell
in they will want to see you liability insurance ect im sure most people just wing it but you only need to get caught out and it will be costly
i have a mate who sells ice cream and all the permit stuff is a hassle
getting the bottom line final answer from a bunch of blokes that use false names and put smiley faces at the end of paragraphs is not the best place in the world to get the information you seek.

Yep... a vendors license/permit is required
You could chance it and maybe make a quick couple of $$'s, but if you get caught could face fines and confiscation of goods !

I think my friend Eric said
I think my friend Eric said he paid $14,000 for the rights, i don't believe he does it anymore because daylight saving and stuff gave you very little selling time, he still does the big day out etc,,not sure who has the rights if anybody,,,you are both right people walk of the street and do it (i have been kicked out of half the events in Aust, i made a living for 8 years doing it legally and illegally).
The best advice i can give anybody is its better to ask forgiveness than permisson"
Make sure nobody is in the vincity selling,,make sure its on or near dark and then start screaming "Get your glowies here $5" i have made $300-$400 an hour at events, so every minute that ticks over helps ,have your float organised and a headlamp to see your money,,the police will not bother you,,the council will say you can't sell them here if they see you ,,say sorry you did'nt know then pack your gear and go home and count your money
Just remember glowies are old hat,,its flashing things and light up saber swords that get you $10 a pop.
I stopped going,,like Eric i found little time to sell between darkness and the fire works, plus Erics henchman scream blue murder and i had 1/2 dozen cops asking questions about permits last time,,(though they are more worried about drunks)
