Showers:

  • Yes there are, there’s three sets of showers on the festival site located in the Upper, Lower, and Fisher Campgrounds.

Tiered Tickets:

What is a Tiered Ticket?

  • Dauphin’s Countryfest tickets are sold in tiers, which means pricing is based on quantity. Each ticket offers the exact same access and benefits, no matter which tier you purchase from.

    Tickets start at our lowest “Tier 1” price and increase with each subsequent tier. Once one tier sells out, the next becomes available at a slightly higher price. Because sales volume varies by ticket type, tiers can change at any time.

    We do our best to alert fans when a tier is nearly sold out, but some tiers move quickly and may sell out before an update can be shared. In some cases, sold-out tiers will no longer appear on the page.

    When Front Gate Ticketing lists a ticket as “Unavailable,” it means that the remaining inventory is currently held in other customers’ carts. If those carts expire, tickets may become available again. When a tier is marked “Sold Out,” that tier is completely gone and will not reopen.

    Our tiered system is designed to reward fans who buy early with the best possible pricing. Those who wait may still grab their tickets — but likely at a higher tier.

Transfer Tickets:

If I buy a weekend ticket, can I give it to a different person each day.

  • No, passes are non-transferable. Damaged, or tampered wristbands WILL NOT be replaced, and are VOID.

What kind of Transportation is available to and from the Festival?

  • We have our safe ride home shuttle bus to and from the site all 4 days. With multiple stops around town, it's an easy way to ensure a safe ride from the site back into Dauphin. Our shuttle bus costs $5 per ride, or $25 for a weekend wristband. We also have day parking available on site for $25 a day, or $75 for the weekend.

Trash for Treats:

What is Trash for Treats?

  • Trash for Treats is a program sponsored by MBLL which encourages patrons to responsibly collect trash, and dispose of it in exchange for the chance to win great prizes. There are 3 locations on site and it is printed in the Event Guide.

Weather:

What Happens if there is Inclimate Weather?

  • The show will go on rain or shine. In the event of a severe weather storm shows may be delayed until weather clears up, and notifications will be posted to social media, the app, and announced at our stages.
