Things to Keep In Mind

Please review the following:

If a performer purchases a full pass by accident:

On event weekend, the performer will need to request to convert their full pass to a performer's wristband. No refunds or partial credits.

The number of performers you register must match the number of performer's passes sold.

Ensure that the number of performer passes sold under your code matches the number of performers you register on our form. Head counts will be conducted during tech rehearsals.

Ensure that the spelling of your registered teams are correct.

Incorrect team names could cause havoc during tech rehearsal when they try to search for your name in the spreadsheets. Please help us by being accurate.
