2024 Festival Site Map:

After August 1, wristbands will be mailed to the address in your Showpass account. Please ensure your name and address are correct on your Showpass tickets / email confirmation. If they are, you do not need to do anything more. If you need to update your address, email info@showpass.com.

Don’t wait! Register your wristband, link your credit card, and you could receive a $10 credit* applied to your wristband! Valid on food, beverage, or merchandise purchases.

(*Limited to the first 1,500 registrations of Sommo 2024 wristbands. Credit expires at 11pm 9/14/2024.)

You can win prizes! We’ll be giving away ticket upgrades, merch, food & beverage vouchers, front stage access and 2025 weekend passes. Everyone who registers their wristband early has a chance to win!

No, the wristband you receive in the mail is not a 19+ bracelet. If you are over 19, you will be given a 19+ wristband at the festival gates after being ID’d. Anyone over 19 will have 2 wristbands: the one they initially received by mail, and the second one (19+) received onsite at the festival.

If you are underage and caught inside the festival with a 19+ bracelet on, your bracelet will be confiscated, and you will be removed from the festival.

ID must be carried at all times. 19+ wristband does not replace your ID. IDs will be verified at the gates each day of the festival, and those without IDs will have their 19+ wristband removed.

Transfers were disabled during the wristband fulfillment and shipping process. This was a joint decision between the organizers and their ticketing provider, to ensure the safety of their fans, and limit the amount of fraud and scams.

We have heard your concerns, and have decided to open transfers for a limited time. On September 6th from 12:01am until September 8th at 11:59pm ADT, transfers for Sommo Festival tickets will be open. At this time, you will be able to transfer your tickets to another individual. Please note, this is for a limited time, and at 12am ADTon September 9th, transfers will once again be turned off. This is to allow our team enough time to complete the administration associated with each transfer. Note that all transferred tickets will need to be picked up from the box office, open September 10th – 12th from 10am-5pm at the festival grounds, and during the festival September 13th and 14th, from 12pm-10pm.

We urge our fans to exercise caution when purchasing tickets anywhere that is not the official Sommo Festival ticketing page. We recommend not purchasing a wristband from anyone without having the ticket transferred into your name. If the wristband is fraudulent, we are unable to issue a new wristband.

Any damaged or tampered with wristbands will not be allowed for accessing the festival. For further inquiries, email info@sommofest.com. Please include your order number and be as detailed as possible describing your situation. You may also visit the on-site box office at the festival grounds.

There is a $20 replacement fee for lost or damaged wristbands.
