The Wolf of Wall Street - Jordan Belfort Live in Qantas Credit Union, Sydney


Produced a best-selling book and a record-breaking movie, but Jordan Belfort’s most powerful story you need to hear in person.


Jordan Belfort learned the hard way that success at anything in life – from building your career or business, defining entrepreneurial vision, enhancing relationships to creating wealth – has a ‘formula’… a system of ‘rules’.
By developing a unique understanding of those rules he now knows how to ‘fail elegantly’ – because the real lessons are in the failures. And he knows how to succeed wildly!
Jordan can claim to have transformed vast numbers of lives. His testimonials confirm he can take virtually any individual, regardless of background, and empower them to attain goals they never dreamed themselves capable of.

Platinum – the best seats in the house
The Wolf of Wall Street book signed by Jordan Belfort

Event Website: Vivid Sydney
Use the Trip planner to plan your trip with up-to-date train, bus, ferry and light rail information. You can also use one of the many real-time apps to track your service.

Special information

  • Vivid Sydney is a free, unticketed 18-day festival of light, music and ideas.
  • Large crowds are expected in the city throughout the event, especially on Friday and Saturday nights and over the June long weekend.
  • Significant road closures and clearways will be in place every weeknight from 19:00 and on weekends (including the Monday 9 June public holiday) from 17:00 to manage congestion and keep pedestrians safe.
  • Traffic will be heavy, parking will be limited and you won’t be able to see most Vivid Sydney events from a vehicle.
  • There are many events and installations across the city, so you don’t need to see it all in one go. Plan your Vivid Sydney experience over a couple of nights, leave the car at home and take advantage of extra public transport services.

Train

  • All Vivid Sydney precincts are within walking distance of train stations.
  • The best stations for accessing Vivid Sydney events are Central, Town Hall, Wynyard, Martin Place, Circular Quay, St James, Museum, North Sydney, Milsons Point and Redfern.
  • Extra trains are running into the city and around the City Circle on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights to help get you around the Vivid Sydney precincts.
  • Circular Quay will be extremely popular during the event so on Saturday nights and the long weekend Sunday, trains will not pick up passengers at Circular Quay Station between 18:00 and 22:00.
    • If you are travelling to Circular Quay on these days, please alight at Wynyard or St James.
  • For train information, visit Sydney Trains timetables.

Trackwork

Sydney Ferries

  • Ferries will be in high demand during Vivid Sydney, especially on the weekends and public holiday.
  • Services will reach capacity and there will be long queues, so consider taking one of the frequent trains or buses instead.
  • Due to the high demand, customers will be required to exit the ferry once they reach their destination. You will not be able to stay on the ferry and take the return trip. This is to make sure that everyone gets the chance to access ferry services.
  • There are no free ferry services during Vivid Sydney.

Road

  • There will be significant road closures and special event clearways in place in the Sydney CBD, The Rocks and Walsh Bay throughout the 18 days of the event.
