  • Will Call and Door info!

    Posted on September 23, 2011

    Will call tickets can be picked up at the front door of any ticketed venue, starting tonight at Cosmic Charlie’s (7:30 p.m.) and Green Lantern (9 p.m.). Be sure to have your IDs ready at the door to claim your tickets.

    If you purchased your ticket in advance, be sure to bring it to redeem it for your wristband!

    Tickets to most shows should still be available at the door throughout the weekend, as capacity allows. Volunteer staff will be stationed at every Boomslang event, and they should be able to questions you might have about the festival.

    As a reminder, Green Lantern is the only 21+ venue. The rest are 18+, with the exception of Natasha’s, which is all ages.

    See you tonight at the following events – $15 gets you entry into all 3!
