A young woman who allegedly attempted to sell more than 800 ecstasy pills at a dance party in Sydney has been arrested.

The 20-year-old was allegedly caught with 879 capsules of drugs believed to be MDMA at the Knockout Circuz event on Saturday night.

Three people were also taken to hospital during the gig at Moore Park but police have not confirmed if they were treated for drug-related injuries.

One of them - a young woman in her 20s - is still recovering in hospital.

Police say the 20-year-old is one of 35 people who were arrested and charged in the sting, including a 21-year-old man who was found with 200 pills and a 19-year-old man who was caught with 103 pills.

The young woman was refused bail to appear at Parramatta Bail Court on Sunday on a drug supply charge.

The men were charged with the same offence and granted conditional bail to appear at Downing Centre Local Court next week.
