Frequently Asked Questions

The box office opens at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, July 24, 2019, for High-Roller All-Access VIPs; and at 1 p.m. for Onsite RV Pass holders, V-Dub Pass holders,  X-Spot, X-Spot ONSITE Park & Camp purchasers, and 5-Day GA ticket-holders. It remains open through Sunday, July 28, 2019 (although it does close overnight from midnight to 9 a.m.). Your arrival depends on the ticket type purchased; please consult your PDF ticket for details. Also, lookout for ticket-specific FAQs in your email inbox prior to the festival. You can also reference our ‘Info By Ticket-Type FAQs’ on this website.

Please help keep everyone’s sightlines clear; pop-up tents, which are very frustrating to some patrons, and very necessary to others, are allowed ONLY on one cordoned-off area on the side of the front main field, where they do not block the sightlines of others. The front main concert field area, from the stage to the signage, is for standing and blankets only. Midway back, posted signage designates the “chair seating” area, and, from the fountain back, umbrellas and see-through shade apparatus — other than pop-ups — are allowed. Unless you require the larger footprint of a pop-up shade tent for medical conditions, or because of very young children, please utilize an alternative, as space for these is very limited.

Nope, just wandering — thanks for asking.

Although our ‘home’ never really leaves each of us, FloydFest 19~Voyage Home will begin its annual hiatus at noon on Monday, July 29, 2019, when all patrons are required to exit the site. We will miss you!

Hugs are free — and plentiful at FloydFest.

NO pets, please. FloydFest abides by ADA guidelines and owners of Service Dogs/Pets are requested to download our policy.

No, all patron tickets are issued in advance, via email. You must print them out and bring them with you. If you are a Vendor, Artist, Media, or Partner, please check with your festival contact for more specific check-in procedures.

If you have medical equipment, such as insulin supplies, please inform the security personnel performing the search.

Yes! Located approximately 10 minutes from FloydFest proper, Delta Lot is a dream, with showers and bathroom facilities, potable water for cooking and cleaning, bottled water and ice for sale, a roaring campfire, a food truck, and even a camp store. Delta Lot houses park-and-campers and both powered and unplugged RV campsites. Shuttle service connects Delta Lot patrons with the main festival grounds throughout the five glorious days of the festival. Delta Lot bus shuttles run from 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Wednesday, from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. Thursday to Sunday, and from 9 a.m. to noon on Monday. But it’s 2:01 a.m., and I wanna go back to camp!? Don’t fret — two shuttle vans run between the festival venue and Delta Lot between 2 and 9 a.m.

But, of course, and you have multiple options, all represented on the Site Map, found under ‘Festival Info’ on FloydFest.com. All High-Roller All-Access VIPs camp in a designated backstage camping area (or elsewhere, if they prefer; though Premium Woodsy camp requires the additional purchase of that tent tag). GA Tent Tags can be used in any GA camping area onsite, which is basically the lion’s share of camping, except for Premium Woodsy and VIP.

Camping is half the experience of a festival, and FloydFest doesn’t disappoint, with the lion’s share of habitable landscape reserved for GA Tent Tag ticketholders. The Blue Ridge Mountains’ visually stunning terrain becomes your template for setting up camp, with most areas flanking pathways that trace the grounds, making for quick access to anything your heart desires.

Bed down in the central part of town in a spacious camping space with the Premium Woodsy Tent Tag. Purchase includes (1) Premium Woodsy Tent Tag to FloydFest 19~Voyage Home.

Delta Lot and Alpha Lot bus shuttles run from 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Wednesday, from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. Thursday to Sunday, and from 9 a.m. to noon on Monday. But it’s 2:01 a.m., and I wanna go back to camp!? Don’t fret — two shuttle vans run between the festival venue and Delta Lot between 2 and 9 a.m.

Yes — mostly because it’s attached to your tent, you’re too tuckered out to take it off, and it’s a cool surprise on your next outdoor adventure.

No — only one Tent Tag is needed per tent. So, if you’re a couple sharing a tent for five days in one tent, you’d only need to purchase one 5-Day GA with Tent Tag ticket and one 5-Day GA ticket. If you’re a family of three staying for four days and staying in a singular tent, then you’d only need one Tent Tag — that is, you’d buy a 4-Day GA with Tent Tag ticket, a 4-Day GA ticket, and a Kid GA ticket. But if that family wanted to separate into two tents, they’d need to purchase two Tent Tags. We understand, either way. All in all, it’s 1 Tent Tag = 1 Tent; 1 Tent = 1-or-more patrons.

At FloydFest, each tent requires a Tent Tag. However, only one Tent Tag is needed for as many people in your party can fit (or would like to fit) into one tent. Thus, 1 Tent Tag = 1 Tent; 1 Tent = 1-or-more patrons.

“Tent Tags are ‘tickets’ for your tent.”

But it’s 2:01 a.m., and I wanna go back to camp!? Don’t fret — two shuttle vans run between the festival venue and Delta and Alpha lots between 2 and 9 a.m.

Yes!

While FloydFest is still a rural, outdoor festival held in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia (in what used to be a cow field), we strive to make the site available to as many music fans as possible. Every year, we continue to work toward making the FloydFest site as accessible as possible to all of our patrons, including those with disabilities. Helping Hands/ADA patrons will find a centrally located Helping Hands/ADA information tent, nearby parking, and numerous handicapped-accessible port-o-johns. FloydFest also features Helping Hands/ADA Camping Hosts to answer questions and solve logistics for ADA patrons.

Almost. FloydFest 19~Voyage Home takes place Wednesday to Sunday, July 24 to 28, 2019. Be nice to your sister — we’ll be there soon.

Shuttle service is provided from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.+ on Sunday, July 28, 2019. Bring your gear to the High-Roller VIP Guest Services Lounge tent area, and our shuttle drivers will help transport your belongings back to your vehicle. Note: The High-Roller shuttle service is available on Monday, July 29, 2019, as well.

No, but mother insisted we get a photo. With you smiling this time, so pay attention.

Every High Roller is entitled to free, commemorative FloydFest photos at our festival photo booth (please use coupon from HRAA VIP Swag Bag). Just look for the signs, stop by the tent, costume-up with some friends, and take your same-day photo with you! This is a great take-home memory to commemorate your FloydFest experience.

We have packed lots of goodies in a custom-designed ENO bag for your festival fun that can be picked up at the High-Roller Catering Tent backstage any time after your 10 a.m. Wednesday check-in. Your VIP laminate is needed to issue swag bags. Among other items, the HRAA Swag Bags contain:

• Commemorative beverage cup: These stainless steel cups are bottomless at the backstage VIP Pub. Refills are limitless, but don’t lose the cup — it’s required for refills! Drinking from reusable cups cuts down on our waste stream tremendously. Replacement cups are also for sale.

• Massage coupon: Use this coupon to receive your 15-minute complimentary massage from our backstage Healing Arts team, on loan from the Blue Ridge School of Massage.

• Commemorative Photo Coupon

• Vendor coupons: Assorted coupons from some of our top vendors made exclusively for our High Rollers.

• S-Biners: A colorful, convenient way of keeping up with your valuables (i.e. commemorative FloydFest pint)

Generally, YES — exceptions to this are when the seating is full or when the performer requests no onstage seating during a performance. Our roomy Dreaming Creek Main Stage accommodates (40+/-) High Rollers during a set, with space available most of the time. Stage seating is limited to one consecutive set, however, and the stages are cleared after each set to extend the opportunity to others.

Get lucky, High Rollers! Sign up early each day in the High Roller Guest Services Lounge for your chance for premier onstage seating! For each of our two nightly headlining Dreaming Creek Main Stage shows, three lucky winners and their High-Roller guest of choice will win premium onstage seating. Register before 1 p.m. daily, and we’ll text the winners by 5 p.m. Winning names will also be posted at the High-Roller Guest Services Lounge Tent and the stage-seating corral. Please plan to arrive 15 minutes prior to the set; empty seats will be given away just prior to the start of the show. Note: All onstage seating is dependent on the musical artists’ agreements.

Each High Roller receives a coupon redeemable for a 15-minute massage backstage; allotted time is based on availability. You must sign up in advance once onsite, at the backstage massage tent, and present your coupon at the time of registration. One coupon per person, please.

If you cannot unplug while at the festival, our High-Roller VIP Guest Services Lounge has myriad number of outlets for you to use for recharging your electronics — another crucial perk of being a High Roller. While we want to offer the service for your convenience, please be aware that we do not accept responsibility for your items. (Note: We recommend you enjoy the space, and hang nearby during the charging process of your device — we made it comfy for you.)

Please help keep our sightlines clear; pop-up tents, which are very frustrating to some patrons, and very necessary to others, are allowed ONLY on one cordoned-off area on the side of the front main concert field, where they do not block the sightlines of others. The front main concert field area, from the stage back to the stated signage, is for standing and blankets only. Midway back, posted signage designates the “chair seating” area, and, from the fountain back, umbrellas and see-through shade apparatus — other than pop-ups — are allowed. Unless you require the larger footprint of a pop-up shade tent for medical conditions, or because of very young children, please utilize an alternative, as space for these is very limited.

Children age 3 and under are allowed backstage with a parent with no necessary credentials, and may share food from parents’ plates. Any child between the ages of 4 and 12 must have purchased a HRAA ticket, either a “HRAA Kid (4-7)” or a “HRAA Youth (8-12).” Without proper credentials, children may not enter the backstage area.

No — but some people like to (and appreciate it if you do, too) and HRAA VIP has you covered. Hot showers are available backstage for the exclusive use of festival High Rollers, 24 hours a day! Note: The longest lines usually occur in the morning, so consider some afternoon or evening shower action.

The VIP Pub is open from noon to midnight Wednesday, from 11 a.m. to midnight Thursday to Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday.

Yes, you now are regulars at a neighborhood bar, the VIP Pub, situated directly backstage at the best music festival on earth. I know, it doesn’t sound fun at all. 😉 As regulars, you are entitled to complimentary beer and wine, as well as other adult beverages and a healthy offering of non-alcoholic drinks (water, soda, juice, Buchi Kombucha, etc.). The VIP Pub is open from noon to midnight Wednesday, from 11 a.m. to midnight Thursday to Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday.

Backstage catering and complimentary beverage service begins at 11 a.m. on Thursday, July 25, 2019, and ends at 8 p.m. on Sunday, July 28, 2019. The meal hours for lunch are from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and the hours for dinner are from 5 to 9 p.m. (High-Roller catering ends at 8 p.m. on Sunday, just in time for the AfterParty!). Each meal’s menu offers thoughtfully prepared choices for every taste and culinary preference. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are always available. But what’s for dinner Wednesday? Don’t fret — the Welcome Back Pig Pickin’ will take place in the VIP Pub for all VIP patrons on Wednesday, July 24, 2019.

No — parking passes are non-transferrable. Once assigned, they are valid only for the vehicle they were originally designated for.

Usually, it’s hump-day at work — but not this week! First, you beat the crowd, so you check-in and park with ease. Second, you have time to build a home-base camp using the keen and creative skill you absorbed by being (a friend to) a Boy Scout. Third, you enjoy the proverbial calm before the masses arrive; a festival site primed for its purpose. Fourth, you enjoy a special SoundCheck party with past years’ On-the-Rise winners in the Pink Floyd Beer and Wine Garden, as well as a “Welcome Back Pig-Pickin’” starting at 7 p.m. And fifth, you get some restful sleep to prepare for the mountain-magic marathon ahead.

Without a doubt, the most boutique campground onsite is the HRAA VIP backstage camping area. Wooded and central to the Dreaming Creek Main Stage, catering, the VIP Pub, private stage, and myriad amenities, High-Roller VIP camp rises to meet your every need — you may never leave. Each HRAA VIP Tent Tag allows a roughly 15′-by-15′ area to camp. Of course, HRAA Tent Tags are valid anywhere onsite (with the exception of FF’s Premium Woodsy Tent Tag area), so you are free to roam — or roll, if you will.

Onsite HRAA VIP parking is conveniently located on a first-come, first-serve basis in the HRAA VIP lot, just past the front gate, roughly between the Tori Gate Village Path and the FloydFest Camp Store. Once onsite, you’ll be directed to your parking area where you will be met by a Guest Services team member who will then call a shuttle to transport you to your exclusive backstage camping area.

FloydFest offers premier onsite check-in for High Rollers. Gates open to High Rollers at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, July 24, 2019, a full three hours before 5-Day GA ticketholders. Please follow directions to the festival site, where FF Box Office teams will greet you at your vehicle with wristbands, tent tag and a parking decal, then guide you to your parking spot. Once parked, hospitality carts will assist in transporting your gear to the HRAA backstage camping area.
