        Tiered Ticket Pricing
        +

        Festival tickets are sold in tiers — same pass type, different price. This system rewards fans who buy early with the best prices.

        Each tier offers the exact same access and benefits, but lower-priced tiers sell out first.

        When you buy tickets:

        - You may see multiple tiers listed. Choose the lowest available tier for the best price.
        - Once a tier sells out, it's marked as unavailable and prices move to the next tier.
        - Tiers can change quickly based on demand.

        Wristband Policy
        +
        • All sales are final—no refunds or exchanges.
        • Only tickets purchased through our official ticketing partner, FRONT GATE TICKETS, or through AXS during the early bird presale are valid for entry. If you purchased from an unauthorized source or have a counterfeit wristband, entry will not be permitted.
        • Wristbands must be worn securely on your wrist and cannot be slipped on or off.
        • Keep your wristband on for the entire festival—it must not be removed, stretched, or tampered with, as doing so will void entry.
        • To re-enter the festival on the same day, your wristband must be scanned upon exiting.
        • Wristbands are non-transferable and non-exchangeable.

        Lost or Damaged Wristbands?
        No worries! They can be replaced one time only for the original purchaser, for a replacement fee of $25. Just head to our Box Office and they'll get you taken care of. Please bring a photo ID (or picture of the photo ID) of the original purchaser.

        Please Note:

        • Counterfeit or duplicated wristbands will be confiscated by security.
        • This wristband policy is strictly enforced, and there are no exceptions.

        Your wristband is your ticket to an incredible experience! Please treat it with care—it's a revocable license, and entry may be denied or revoked for non-compliance with festival policies or protocols. By attending the festival, you voluntarily assume all risks, including potential injury or loss of property.
