SCHEDULES

Your exact shift times will be posted by end of the day, Friday 6/10. To view your schedule, simply log back in to your festiVOL account & click on “My Events”. If you have not been notified that you are a pre or post-fest volunteer, you can expect to work during the event.

TICKETS

You will be receiving an e-ticket from Eventbrite 1 week prior to the festival. It will be sent to the email address associated with your festiVOL account, so please ensure the information is correct! General Admission (tent-only) camping is included with your weekend pass, but you will need to provide your own camping gear!

PARKING 

If you carpool with 2 or more people in your vehicle, parking will free! (This applies to volunteers only)

If you travel alone, you will need to be prepared to pay a reduced parking fee of $30 per vehicle. (Half the price of a non-volunteer)

If you would like to purchase a Car Camping upgrade, you can do so on the WTF Ticketing site.

ARRIVING ON SITE

You will be allowed to check in 1 day prior to your first shift (all volunteers are provided free Early Entry on Thursday). You will ONLY be allowed to check in during the following hours, so please plan your travel accordingly!

Once you have checked in at the box office, you’ll be directed to set up camp in General Admission camping (tent-only). Then you should swing by Volunteer HQ to check in with me & pick up your volunteer t-shirt!

CHECKING IN/OUT OF SHIFTS

You will check in & out of every volunteer shift at Volunteer HQ (next to the FYI Booth). This is the only way you will get credit for the hours you are putting in. From there, you will either be picked up or we will take you in a golf cart where you need to be.

SHOWERS

Crew showers will be open to volunteers ONLY during pre & post event days. During the event, Oasis showers are available for purchase.

MEALS

Meals are not provided to general volunteers (unless noted below). There will be food vendors on site Wednesday-Monday. Please come prepared with enough food to last the duration of your stay!

*PRE-FEST VOLUNTEERS – you will be provided 1 meal each day on Tuesday & Wednesday of pre-fest.

*POST-FEST – Meals will be provided Monday-Wednesday due to the lack of vendor availability! Be sure to pick up your post-fest wristband from Kathryn on Monday morning. Hooray!
