THERE'S A GOOD DEAL ON CRAIGSLIST, SHOULD I TAKE IT?

Every year thousands of our loving fans think that buying a wristband via Craigslist, eBay, or any broker site will save them some cash and allow them to access the festival. Unfortunately, many of these are either already used or are counterfeits.

Please don't make us stop you at the gate and send you to the infamous "trouble" table to examine the wristband, notice that it's not yours, and turn you away, sobbing down Lamar Boulevard. It's unbecoming and although we'd love to just let you in, you didn't buy it from us and therefore, we cannot validate your story. If you want 100% confidence that you'll be cool, visit aclfestival.com/tickets to purchase your passes every single time.

Oftentimes people will try to sell their wristbands to others if they cannot attend a certain day. Unfortunately, the removing of a wristband automatically voids it. Our crack security takes great pain in checking every wristband to assure it has not been removed and replaced. You will be caught and you will be escorted directly from the property. Simply visit aclfestival.com or call 888.512.SHOW to purchase passes.

WHERE ARE THE SERVICE CHARGES?

No Service Charges. No Add-ons. No Surprises. No Lie.

OFFSET YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

Add $3 to any ticket purchase to offset a portion of the CO2 emissions created by your travel to the Festival. Your purchase supports carbon offset projects and helps take action against climate change.

I REALLY WANT TO READ YOUR LEGALESE, WHERE IS IT?
