Group Ticketing 1. When we purchase group tickets - does everyone need to be present to enter at the same time? When the key person for the group arrives, that person needs to check in at the group ticketing window. We will provide you with the wristbands for your group. From there, a designated individual from your group will need to stay out in the front area to meet your guests and any additional individuals who need wristbands to attend the festival. If you have additional individuals show up who weren't expected, we're happy to work with you to add them to your group rate. The key person will just need to go to the admission booth to pay for the additional wristbands. If your group is 50 or more, then you have the option to purchase physical tickets at the group rate. This allows you to hand out tickets ahead of time to your guests. These tickets can only be purchased and picked up in-person at the farm. A minimum of 50 tickets must be purchased. These tickets are non-refundable, but they can be used anytime throughout the season.
