Ticket Info and Prices
Which Ticket Should I Buy?
A reserved seat ticket ensures the ticket holder will receive a reserved chair in front of the Watson and Cabin Stages. Chairs are provided at most of the other stages and are available on a first-come first-served basis or you may bring your own chairs or blankets.
A general admission ticket is a great choice for festival goers who prefer lawn seating and plan to bring their own chairs and blankets. Chairs and blankets must be removed each night. You may take them with you or store them in our convenient overnight storage at no charge. General admission pass holders may use unoccupied reserved seats before 5 PM or until owner returns.
