ATMs will be available inside the venue, but there will not be an ATM at the Box Office. Credit cards and debit cards will be accepted.
For those using the mobile ticket option, turn the brightness up on your phone to make it easier for the scanner to detect and scan the barcode on your phone. We recommend that you take a screenshot of your mobile ticket and save it to your phone in case you’re not able to access it via the internet once you’re on site.

Reminder To Mind Your Belongings

Unfortunately, many people have reported pickpockets, bag slashings, and theft of wallets, smartphones, purses and other valuables during this festival season. While this small number of bad apples in the bunch doesn’t define an entire crowd, there are opportunistic people who come to these events to take advantage of unsuspecting party goers and it’s important to be mindful of your valuables while at Sonic Bloom.

Pay attention to who’s around you and what’s going on around you. Keep your wallet and phone in your front pocket(s) if you can. Treat your phone the same way you would treat cash; don’t set it down on a table or bar and look away. If a friend isn’t standing behind you in a crowd, be careful of your backpack or purse, and don’t put valuables in a pocket that could easily be unzipped by someone behind in a crowded spot without you realizing.

Festivals, in general, are very densely populated places and are a well-known place where pick-pocketing of unsuspecting people occurs. It’s easy to find yourself in a crowded environment in a line, at a stage in the festival, elevator, or even out on the street where someone could slip your wallet or phone our of your pocket or bag in a matter of seconds. Stay alert, be careful, and make sure to not carry more than what you need!

Sonic Bloom ADA Information

There will be ADA accessible parking and camping near the main gate. The venue has added a wheelchair ramp from the camping area into the main concert bowl and an ADA platform for the Main Stage. ADA accessible restroom facilities will also be available. However, keep in mind that the site is not fully developed as a permanent venue and, while passable, walkways are not paved and one may encounter some bumpy terrain.

Service Animal Policy

Service dogs are permitted, but pets are not. Under the ADA, the definition of “service animal” is limited to a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability who is in attendance. The task(s) performed by the dog must be directly related to the person’s disability. Under the ADA, “comfort,” “therapy,” or “emotional support” animals do not meet the definition of a service animal. Those who masquerade their pet as a service animal will be ejected from the site without a refund.

For everyone’s safety, all vehicles and attendees are searched for contraband. Those who bring animals should identify themselves when security first approaches the vehicle. All animals and their handlers must check in with the Box Office. After screening, service animal handlers will receive documentation indicating the service animal has been screened. Staff are not likely to question you again unless the animal causes a problem. Those bringing pets will be turned away and may return only after boarding their pet in town.
