Q: Are Designated Driver / non-drinking tickets available?
A: First and foremost, PLEASE don’t even think about drinking and driving. Free taxi rides up to 10 miles going home will be available through C&H Taxi via their IntoxiTaxi service, so please take advantage of it. The IntoxiTaxis will be available outside the Main Gate exit.
Most of the costs of our festival go towards the musical entertainment and facilities. Thus, like all concerts, all ticket prices are the same, regardless of whether someone drinks or not.
