After Friday, Nov. 30, the discounted prices for early-bird Festival season passes expires. That means that the lowest-possible price of $239 will increase to $299. 

The fully transferable tickets offer access to all shows between Aug. 1-11 at Memorial Field, and at $239, the price amounts to a 40- to 50-percent discount on the standard rate. For that reason, all 700 early bird passes usually sell out before Dec. 1, as they did last year.

“We are aiming to book the best festival season yet,” said Festival Executive Director Dyno Wahl in a statement. “You will be glad you grabbed a season pass at this low price.”

With recent Memorial Field renovations completed and new grandstands ready to accommodate Festival attendees, 2018 proved a landmark year for the Festival. The two-week event featured a broad range of artists, from the Greensky Bluegrass to ZZ Top.
