Yes - We will stop the show and have the fans seek shelter if there is extreme weather, but the Vans Warped Tour will happen rain or shine!
Most venues have a designated area in front of the venue for drop offs and pick-ups. Make sure to coordinate a pick up location with your friends and parents before going into the event!
These are often counterfeit tickets and we are not responsible for fake tickets. You'll lose your money and won't be able to enter the show.
Instead, just head over to the venue box office by the main gates and buy a ticket there!
DO NOT buy any "backstage" or "VIP / Guest" passes, wristbands, etc. These are NOT real, they will NOT give you any sort of access - DO NOT waste of your money.
The only sanctioned VIP / Guest passes offered are through various non-profit efforts and will be promoted on the Warped Tour social media channels.
The set times are not decided until the morning of each show; this has been something we have done since the very first show 24 years ago.
Get to the show early and when the doors open, you can find the set times on our giant inflatable schedule! (near the Journeys stages)
Visit the sponsor, non-profit, and band tents to write down times for signings, acoustic performances and more! Sponsors and bands participating will have this information posted outside of their tents each day.
Need assistance with an immediate medical need? Look for the first aid flag located at the medic station by the Journeys stages. You can also ask any security officer for help - we are here to keep you safe!
No - re-entry is not allowed. If you leave the show, you will have to purchase a new ticket in order to re-enter the venue.
The ultimate perk for parents - the Reverse Daycare Tent is a chill zone for parents who brought their teens to the concert, but crave a break from the heat and music. Here parents can relax, enjoy a cool beverage and interact with some of the family-friendly products in the tent. (Closes daily at 6PM)
Cool Gear Hydration Stations: Warped Tour provides FREE filtered water at the Cool Gear Water Hydration Stations! Fans can use a water bottle or purchase a reusable bottle to fill up as much as needed throughout the day. Look for the "WATER" banner in the festival grounds.
Low Priced Water: We have worked with the venues and promoters to create a lower water price per bottle at all Warped shows this summer.
Shade Areas & Tents: Look for designated shade tents throughout the venue. As for amphitheater shows, that roof makes a nice cover from the sun.
Slip and Slide: Weather permitting look for the slip and slide on the festival grounds. Jump in, get wet, and have fun!
Food: We can't emphasize it enough. In addition to staying cool throughout the day, you also need to eat! There are food vendors and concessions at every show.
If tickets for your show are available online through Ticketmaster, you can pre-purchase a special low-priced Meal Deal good for a meal with a soda. Be sure to print out your voucher and look for signs at concession stand to redeem them.
It's a long day so pace yourself, take a break from time to time, and have fun!
