International orders are held at Will Call, the festival box office on site. Tixr says it opens at 9 am CDT Wednesday to Sunday; the festival's info page lists 2027 hours as TBA. A replacement wristband costs $25 at Will Call, and you must bring the current one. If you take yours off, you need a new ticket.

Parking

Four-day parking passes

Parking passes are sold only through the official Tixr page and cover all four days.

Is there accessible seating?

Guests with limited mobility can use the reserved ADA seating area with any ticket type, first come, first served, with one companion or family (up to two adults plus children under 18); ask at the main gate where it is. A golf cart runs from the main gate to it when the crowd allows, but it isn't wheelchair accessible. The festival is on grass, and the organizer warns that heavy rain can make it hard to get around. Questions: [email protected].

What to bring

The clear-bag rule and more

Containers are inspected at the gate, a bag that breaks the clear-bag rule won't get in, and you're searched again each time you re-enter. The organizer doesn't mention camping, and tents are on the banned list. Tixr lists it as a rain-or-shine event. Neither Tixr nor the festival's info page says what happens in a storm, and tickets aren't refundable.
