\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]While both options are great, the VIP experience includes enhancements above and beyond the preferred seating experience. Check out the information above on the two experience options to choose the one that fits your style best![\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]ALL SALES ARE FINAL<\/strong>, there are no refunds or exchanges permitted. The festival is a rain or shine event. In the event the entire event is canceled, refund information will be sent to attendees. All festival performers are subject to change or cancellation at any time without warning. If changes or cancellations occur with performers, refunds will not be issued.[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]For security purposes, we have transitioned to shipping all tickets to one address submitted during your purchase. This will prevent orders from being separated in the mail and arriving at different times. If you would like to ship to multiple addresses, please order tickets separately.[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>
