Stop paying the “Comfort Tax.”
Most festivals sell you a “General Admission” ticket to a hot, dusty field where you struggle to find shade, a seat, or a decent meal. They call it GA. We call it an endurance test.
At Pickathon, we don’t believe you should have to buy an upgrade just to feel human. We build a Temporary City of Imagination where the “VIP” amenities are standard for every single ticket holder.
Your Ticket Includes:
- Follow the Shade: We design the schedule to keep you cool—spending days in the deep woods and nights under the stars. You’ll find curated seating everywhere.
- Real Food & Drink: No carnival food. We curate the best local chefs, breweries, and wineries at standard street prices.
- Hygiene & Wellness: Access to showers and wellness zones is included.
- Kids 12 & Under Free: Kids are full citizens here. They get in free (with a ticketed adult) and access our legendary family programming, which is basically a summer camp on steroids.
Major Update: Wednesday is the New Thursday Gates for Early Arrival now open Wednesday at 5:00 PM. Arrive early, get situated, and wake up on the farm Thursday morning ready for the first bands. (Requirement: Must have a Four-Day Pass + Wednesday Early Arrival Add-on).
