We’re pretty confident that if you try your best and pay attention to the training, you’ll register a few people. Plan for success!

What if I leave the show early?

Do you provide transportation to events?

By Emily Gibbs on

No, we’re afraid you’re on your own for getting to and from the venue. For festivals we encourage volunteers to carpool together, and will try to help you arrange that when possible.

Will I get to meet the band?

By Emily Gibbs on

We can’t say that happens regularly. The artists we work with are very supportive and from time to time our volunteers get to meet them, but this is unusual and not something to plan on.

Can I show up late and still get in?

By Emily Gibbs on

No. Being late is a guaranteed way to create a difficult circumstance for everyone involved. If you are late and miss the opportunity to enter the venue with your team leader, you very likely will be denied access to the show.

Can I bring a friend?

By Emily Gibbs on

We encourage you to invite friends to also sign up for a show you’re volunteering at. If you have friends signing up with you, be sure to let the Team Leader know so they can do their best to confirm you both. However, you can not bring friends unless they are confirmed as a volunteer.

What is the dress code?
