The Festival at Sandpoint Line Policy:
Our line policy is designed to reward you for being early while setting you free to enjoy a summer day in our beautiful town.
Festival fans who like to sit as close to the stage as possible line up early in the morning to receive a number.
There are two separate entrances for Festival concerts, one for General Admission and one for Sponsor/Patron Tickets, so there are separate number lines for each.
PLEASE NOTE: THE MORNING NUMBER LINES ARE
ON THE LAKE SIDE OF THE VENUE THIS YEAR. YOU MUST HAVE YOUR TICKET IN HAND TO RECEIVE A NUMBER.
Per City ordinance, overnight camping in Lakeview Park and on Sidewalks is NOT ALLOWED!
At approx. 8am, the first numbers are given out to those in line, one number per person only. If there are any more, additional numbers are given out at approximately 10am. No numbers will be given out after that. Expect to put in some time waiting for your number. No numbers are given for empty chairs or blankets that are placed in line, so you must be present to receive a number. There is only 1 number given per person present.
Only 1 person is admitted with each number, but each person is allowed to throw a blanket for up to 4 people once inside. Blankets should be no more than 8’x 8’— no big tarps! This blanket size policy will be enforced.
After receiving a number, fans are free to leave the area, but you should be back in line at the venue at least an hour before the gates open to confirm your spot.
Up to 300 numbers are given out. The first 300 people admitted need a number to prove they were in line. If you didn’t arrive in time to receive a number, take your place at the end of the line and stay there to assure your position.
Walk Don’t Run! Ticket holders will be admitted through the entry gate one at a time and will proceed into the venue in an orderly fashion, no running allowed.
Separate numbers are given out for the Patron/Sponsor Gate (“Sponsor/Patron” will be printed on ticket), same procedure.
No Numbers are given out for the Family Concert or 7B Stars.
