Tickets go public THIS WEEK.

‍

We’ve got a new website (welcome…you are here!), with a new TICKETING 101 section to help de-mystify the ticket buying process. Make this your first stop. Read up on our ticketing steps, release dates, pricing, payment options, waitlist and resales.

‍

You will notice a modest increase in ticket prices. Raising prices is not something we take lightly, but we’re listening to your feedback and working to evolve Campout into a more robust and inclusive experience. One that a greater spectrum of our community can enjoy. To meet these goals, we’ve put in a years-long effort, boosting existing programs and creating new ones. Hopefully you’ve already seen some of this work in action – from last year’s launch of Critter’s Lounge and The Library, to our greatly expanded 2026 Accessibility initiatives. 

‍

Pulling all this off requires additional funds, and each year we have to figure out where those funds will come from. We do not accept sponsor money, so we only have a few levers to pull. We can increase ticket prices, increase the number of tickets sold, or we can find new revenue sources. Thus far, our approach has been a mixture of these, trying to maintain balance and protect the energy of Campout. Our 2026 pricing reflects this.

‍

For the long-term sustainability of the festival—and for our own personal health—we have reached a point where Campout must provide a living wage for the handful of folks who work on it full-time. While it might look like a festival of this scale is "making bank", the reality is that each year is a struggle to make it to the next ticket cycle.

‍

We hope you see the value in the work we’re doing and the space we’re creating together. Thank you for sticking with us and for being the reason this project is worth the work. We can't wait to show you what's in store this summer!
