Booking a package that includes festival passes, accommodations, and extra FUN is the best way to make the most out of your festival experience. All you need to do is show up!
OUR PACKAGES OFFER
With a package, you'll have a stress-free, cost-effective, and enjoyable festival experience. So why wait? Book your package today and get ready to party!
Package pricing comes in two parts - pass level (i.e. Weekender, Pirate, Gold Premier, and Platinum Premier with all the perks) and accommodations (i.e. staying at the Gates Hotel across town or the Ocean Key Resort in the middle of the action).
When you book, you pick your pass level then choose where you stay. These choices determine your total package price. General admission access will cost less than the Gold & Platinum VIP access including private parties, live music sails, and catered meals at the Amphitheater. Similarly, staying at a budget hotel will cost less than an oceanfront suite.
Sharing accommodations with multiple people will almost always decrease the per person price because the accommodation cost is split evenly within the group.
We do our best to provide a wide range of accommodations at discounted rates every year. All packages include the entire cost of your stay - resort fees, local taxes, and a few extra amenities at select properties - like free breakfast!
For Larger Groups: We offer packages that include multiple rooms at the same hotel, two bedroom suites, condos or entire homes at competitive pricing - reach out to the Box Office for details! 305-363-5899
Length of stay depends on your choice of accommodations. The standard hotel packages include a 5-night stay- check in on Tuesday and check out on Sunday. All vacation rentals require a 7-night stay. Our new Weekender Package is a 3-night stay, checking in Thursday and out on Sunday.
You can also add extra nights at any property by booking through the Box Office - 305.363.5899
Absolutely! You have the option to arrive early or depart after festival. You can choose to extend your stay when you book or at a later date. Extra nights can generally be added up to 30 days before festival depending on availability. Keep in mind, the earlier you extend your stay, the more likely your accommodation will be available.
Please Note: We do not recommended reserving extra nights directly with a property, whether staying at a hotel or a vacation rental. They will not have your travel information until closer to the event and may not be able to connect your reservations (i.e. you will have to change rooms or leave the property temporarily). Please call or email the Box Office for details.
Purchase Protection is an optional add-on that provides an amended cancellation policy allowing for reimbursement for unforeseeable cancellation.
For full details, see Purchase Protection Info.
All payments are non-refundable.
Passes and Packages can be transferred to another guest for a fee of $50 per person. All transfers must be done through the Box Office. We can only transfer entire bookings that are paid in full - No splitting orders for transfer. All transfers must be completed 14 days before the festival begins.
We offer Purchase Protection on all purchases that covers unforeseen circumstances and may qualify you for a refund. Purchase protection must be purchased within 7 days of original purchase.

We do allow ticket transfers for sold out ticket types for a nominal fee. This process is handled by the Box Office to keep pricing fair and reasonable.
If for any reason we cannot have the Festival, your funds (less booking fees) are refundable. You will also have the option to apply your credit to a future show or donate a portion towards the sustainability of the Festival.
**Festival Performers are also subject to change or cancellation at any time without notice. No refund will be owed if a Festival Performer is changed or cancelled.
