5 REASONS TO PURCHASE EARLY BIRD TICKETS

1- Save on lodging too!

Additionally, Keystone Resort lodging offers discounts for booking summer lodging in advance! Whether you’re a Keystone Festivals regular, planning a getaway for a special occasion, or just excited for sweet summer, booking in advance is a no-brainer when you can save on stays that are walking distance from the festivals!

2- Give yourself more time to plan the rest of your weekend

Once you’ve committed to a mountain getaway by booking lodging and buying festival tickets, you now have months to figure out the rest of your weekend fun!

Try something new by renting a bike, hiking up to mountaintop yoga, or taking a paddleboat for a spin on the lake. After your outdoor adventure, make reservations for an epic culinary journey at Ski Tip or The Ranch. There’s so much to look forward to and plenty of time to plan it all!

3- Pick your fits

Summer in the high country brings a short and sweet opportunity for mountain-dwellers to bust out our jorts, crop-tops, overalls, sundresses, wide-brim hats, and funky sunglasses. They don’t call it a special event for nothin’, and these special times call for the comfiest, breeziest, pocket-y-est, and most stylish fits. Then, take your sweet summer fit out on the village and strut your stuff!

Are you attending a festival with a large group or celebrating a special occasion? We love to see our guests bust out their matching t-shirts and quirky group costumes that keep them visible even in front of the main stage. First, make sure everyone in your group gets their tickets. Once you purchase your early bird tickets, it’s time to start brainstorming those hilarious group fits.

4- Have peace of mind knowing you won’t be affected by a sellout

We’ve all been there. We procrastinated buying the tickets or making the plans for whatever reason. Maybe you were waiting on a buddy to figure out their plans, or maybe you wanted to wait until you could check the weather forecast. Whatever the reason, going to an event and getting in line only to find out the event is sold out is always a bummer.

Purchase your own tickets in advance to make sure you get the best deal and the exact ticket you want! Your buddies who can’t commit to plans this far out? They’ll just have to buy the full-price tickets.

5- Rock your commemorative wristband

When you purchase a festival ticket rather than buying individual food and drink on site, you’ll get your ID checked and your wristband issued at Festival Check In. If you’ve been to Keystone Festivals before, you know that your wristband comes pre-loaded with everything included in your ticket package! Whether you’re a Bacon & Bourbon Hungry Hog, a Wine & Jazz Buddy, or a Bluegrass & Beer Weekend glass, rocking your commemorative festival wristband shows your commitment to being a seasoned festivarian.

So, what are you waiting for? Head on over to your favorite festival landing page and score those early ticket deals! No waiting room, and no queue, just good ole Keystone Festivals tickets waiting to find their forever home.
