Frequently Asked Questions

Our tickets are sold through Eventbrite, one of the biggest names in online ticketing. When you order tickets you will be emailed information about how to use them. They can be printed or shown on your phone. Once a ticket is scanned at the Festival it cannot be used again.

Details:

Eventbrite adds a small handling fee. Tickets are $5 (including Festival day) online and $10 at the gates. As always, 12 and under are free and do not require a ticket. Follow our social media for flash sales and discount codes.

How it works:

When you order tickets on Eventbrite, a confirmation containing a PDF version of your ticket(s) is sent to the email address you entered for the order.  If you don’t see them search your inbox and junk folder for an email from noreply@order.eventbrite.com.

Alternately, you can access your ticket in the Eventbrite app and show it on your phone at the Gates. When you register for an event, Eventbrite automatically creates an account associated with your email address. Log in using the same email address and select “Tickets” from the dropdown in your Eventbrite account.

Refunds:

Refunds are available up until Midnight the night before the Festival for any reason. Eventbrite automatically creates an account with the email address you used to purchase a ticket. You’ll see the option to request one in your account. Go to “Tickets” in your account. Select the ticket you want a refund for. Click “Request a refund”.  Enter your details and submit your request.
