FreshGrass | Bentonville

Am I limited in the number of tickets I can order? 
Orders are limited to six (6) adult tickets, with Momentary members able to order up to two (2) adult tickets at the member price. If your party size is larger than six, we recommend having another member of your group purchase the additional tickets needed.

Can I share my festival pass with my friends?
No, a festival pass is for you and you only. It is not transferable between different people attending different days. The single day ticket is meant for a single-day guest. You will receive a two-day wristband upon entry which should be left on throughout the festival weekend and not removed at any point.
