Ticket Pricing Breakdown: Full Festival Passes provide the festival attendees with 3 days on the festival grounds; complete with access to the main music bowl and 3 nights camping onsite. There are no discounts for folks staying offsite in hotels, at friends, etc. The best purchase is the Full Festival Pass. If you broke it down for each individual day you would wind up spending more. A Weekend Pass provides the festival attendee 2 days on the festival grounds (with camping accessibility on Sat. & Sun. nights) starting on the morning of Sat. the 28th. If you would like to arrive on Fri. night the 27th and camp onsite then you need to purchase a Full Festival Pass. There is no Festival Pass that covers Fri. & Sat., with 2 nights camping on those particular nights. You may purchase individual Day Passes in advance and individual night camping tickets at the Festival gate when you arrive. There are no discounts for not camping Sun. night with your Full Festival or Weekend Pass. An individual Day Pass does not allow for camping on the same night as the day you would be attending. Day Pass ticket holders will park in the Day parking area and will not be allowed to camp there, or in their car, either. A Day Pass will entitle the ticket holder to be on the grounds, including the main music bowl for the particular day stated on the ticket only. The ticket holder may also attend any performances or workshops at the Arlo Hagler Stage and Revival Tent.
Pet policy: No pets; except for assistance animals will be permitted. Owner may be asked for physician's verification of assistance need & must have animal properly restrained.
