How much do tickets cost?
If you're a member of the SHSU community (students/staff/faculty), they are FREE! Tickets for the general public will cost $20.
What is a ticket required for?
Tickets are required for entry into Johnson Coliseum for the show of Lifehouse, Jack Ingram and Story of the Year. The only other area that a ticket would be required to enter is the Eats 'N Beats portion of the festival.

Doors to the Coliseum will open at 6pm.
Where can I park?

Who can attend the outdoor portion of the festival?
