WHY BUY YOUR TICKET NOW?

First, because you want to save money! Our tier one ticket sale will last until January 15 – then ticket prices will jump twice by up to $150! Purchase your ticket, or use our payment plan system, to lock in your attendance now.

Second, because you want first dibs at buying housing! Upgraded lodging (e.g., cabins, lodge rooms, glamping tents, group houses, etc.) will go on sale later as Deloro Valley completes their exciting housing renovations. But early bird ticket purchasers will get first access to housing upgrades as soon as the housing add-ons go on sale!

Third, because you want to make this event happen! Early bird ticket purchasers like you help event producers like us be able to put on unforgettable experiences with less strain on the organization. That’s why we offer early bird pricing: If you purchase your PLAY! ticket before January 15th you’ll save up to $150 off the final price! This helps us and it helps you – a real win-win!

Don’t forget: We have payment plans and volunteer options available! We’ll also soon be announcing a new scholarship fund. We want to do everything we can to help make attending PLAY! possible for everyone.

If you want additional lodging upgrades (cabins, lodge rooms, glamping yurts, RV spots, etc.) that will happen in a later sale. By purchasing an early bird ticket, you will get early access to lodging when it is released!

PAYMENT PLANS AND AFFORDABILITY

We want PLAY! to be an option for every Bonobo Network member. Due to the large cost and financial risk of producing this event, unfortunately, we are not able to offer our usual NOTAFLOF ticketing policy.

Payment plans are available if paying for your ticket upfront would be a hardship. Use the promo code PAYMENTPLAN in Eventbrite, which will temporarily eliminate the cost of your ticket and vehicle add-on. By the week after you place your order on Eventbrite, you will receive an email from Bonobo Network staff with your PayThen monthly payment plan link. (If you are a PrimeMate Member, look for an email from Bonobo Network with your special payment plan PrimeMate promo code.)

Please be sure to start your payment plan on PayThen within 7 days after you receive our email, otherwise your reservation will be subject to cancellation.

VOLUNTEERING

We love and appreciate all the volunteers who help make our events possible. Volunteers offer wonderful contributions to our community through their time, expertise, and effort.

There are important changes to note this year! With the continuing growth of our organization and staff, this year we are doing volunteerism a bit differently. Please purchase your ticket FIRST and then APPLY for a volunteer role. Attendees who are accepted and complete their volunteer shift/s will receive a REIMBURSEMENT after the event.

If purchasing your ticket in advance would be a financial burden, payment plan options are available. If payment plan options are insufficient, please still apply for a volunteer role without purchasing your ticket, and indicate that you have not purchased your ticket in your application.

Different roles carry different reimbursements to reflect the variance of responsibilities completed. Volunteer roles available for application and their associated reimbursements include:

1. Angels: $100-$150 reimbursement
2. Dungeon Monitors: $100-$150 reimbursement
3. Gate & Parking: $125 reimbursement
4. Greeting & Orientation: $100 reimbursement
5. Lost & Found: $250 reimbursement
6. Set-Up: $250 reimbursement
7. Strike: $300 reimbursement
8. Truck Load-In: $100 reimbursement
9. Truck Load-Out: $150 reimbursement

SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Alongside our payment plans and volunteer reimbursements, we are also in the process of creating a Scholarship Fund to provide further financial assistance to those in need. We will be building that fund via donations and through our scheduled ticket price increases.

More information about the Scholarship Fund to come!

LODGING UPGRADES

Every ticket already includes a camping pass.

Deloro Valley has a number of lovely lodging upgrades for sale. Many of these options are undergoing renovations to make them even more comfortble and beautiful for our stay. These lodging upgrades will become available for purchase soon.

Those who purchase tickets in calendar year 2025 will get first access to purchase lodging upgrades!

Note: Only one person needs to reserve lodging upgrades for everyone planning to stay in that space together.

REFUND POLICY

Applies to tickets and lodging upgrades

1. Cancel by 4/22: Full refund
2. Cancel by 5/15: 50% refund
3. No refunds after 5/15

ACCESSIBILITY

Let’s cut to the chase: Deloro Valley’s 132 acres are spread across natural terrain that require a hefty amount of stamina to traverse. The main grounds contain pavement, gravel, dirt, and grass, but are relatively flat for outdoor land. However, most notably, there is one very large hill that divides the festival property into Base Camp and Upper Camp.

We have been working closely with the Deloro Valley staff since last year to improve venue accessibility and accessibility services. This year we promise to offer:

1. Clearer information about lodging options
2. More on-site parking and driving passes by request
3. A continuous passenger van shuttle service running from 7am to 3am

Please visit our comprehensive accessibility information webpage to learn more.

Please send specific questions or accommodation requests to Amande, our Accessibility Manager. She will follow up with you if you indicate that you’d like us to in your Eventbrite checkout. We are committed to giving attendees as clear a picture as we can of the venue’s commonly understood accessibility challenges and our accessibility infrastructure so that you can make informed choices about whether this venue will meet your needs. While we may not be able to accommodate all needs, we are excited to do what we can.

CARPOOL

Let’s make the journey part of the fun. Whether you’re driving and have extra seats or you’re looking to hitch a ride, use our carpool link to connect.
