FAQs

Given the state of the pandemic, we are unable to dictate what COVID-19 protocols will look like for outdoor spaces in August. Just like last year, we’ll be working in coordination with the city and following the CDC's recommendations in response to the state of the pandemic throughout the course of the event (August 4 – 7, 2022). Our top priority is to keep everyone safe.

For any ticketing issues, address changes or ticket upgrades, please email FrontGate Tickets at order-support@frontgatetickets.com Please include in your email: the name of your event and city in the subject line, your 8-digit Order ID, the last 4 digits of the card used to purchase, the telephone number listed on your order and a brief summary of how we can assist you.
