Buy 13 or more tickets in any combination - 30% off the ticket prices listed

advance discounts only apply to daily festival tickets.  They do not apply to workshop registration fees, camping, vehicle, or parking fees.

Service Charge Structure:  The only service charges that would be added to your ticket order would be for telephone orders (add $3) or if you request that tickets be mailed to you (add $3). 

PARKING FEES!

Starting in 2007 we began a daily charge for vehicle parking in our parking lots.  The charge is $3 per vehicle per day ($3 parking permits are good until noon the following day).  All parking charges are payable at the gate.

Why are we charging for parking?  In 2006, our friend and neighbor Doc Horton passed away.  We had been using a chunk of Doc’s land as our parking lot.  Instead of losing the property (and subsequently our parking lot) to developers, a group of festival friends decided to purchase this piece of property.  In doing so, the festival agreed to assume a portion of the financial burden as well as to pay for improvements to the lot in the form of lighting, road stabilization, etc.  The parking fees will be directed toward these expenses. We realize that this may be an unpopular policy, but given the alternative of not having places to park, we had no alternative.  We trust and hope that most of you will understand.

Campground Access

Prior to 6 PM each day you may enter the campgrounds by showing a festival ticket for that day or by flashing a valid wristband.  You MUST have festival tickets and/or a wristband in order to enter the campgrounds during the festival.  After 6 PM each evening, you must be wearing a wristband.  You may purchase a wristband for an additional $5 per day (on top of the ticket price) at the festival ticket booth.  Wristbands may also be purchased in the Main Stage theater during evening concerts. 

EXCEPTION:  If you present or purchase tickets for three or more consecutive days, then tent camping fees are WAIVED and you will be provided with a wristband at no additional charge.  

Prices below are subject to change at any time.  Prices listed include sales tax. 

PLENTY OF TICKETS FOR ALL REMAINING FESTIVAL DATES ARE AVAILABLE ON-LINE OR AT THE FESTIVAL GATE.  (The current day's tickets are available at the gate only)
