Shuttle accessibility and arrival · 2026
Wheelchair-accessible shuttles are available. The organizer asks riders to contact Shuttle Support at least two weeks before the festival with their order number, stop, phone number and departure time. The ordinary drop-off requires an approximately 15-minute walk to the main entrance; confirm your accessible arrival arrangement rather than assuming that walk describes your accommodation. Use the contact form linked from the shuttle FAQ.

2026 general shuttle pass conditions · 2026
No. The 2026 shuttle FAQ says lost passes will not be reissued and all shuttle passes are non-refundable. You may give a pass to a friend, but it still will not be replaced if lost.

Published organizer tiers versus Orange Line product · 2026
The organizer lists three-day tiers of $123.59 and $133.59, and one-day tiers of $52.88 and $57.88, including its stated fees. The linked Orange Line ticket page instead currently lists $133.84 for three days and $57.95 for each single day. Its notice says shipping and layaway fees may be added at checkout. Compare the exact line, day, total and terms before buying; these differing published amounts are not a price guarantee. A generic three-day description does not turn a single-day choice into a weekend pass.
