Frequently Asked Questions about Tickets
How and Where: We sell our tickets through tickit! that means you can pick them up online! This is the only endorsed way of getting your ticket to ArtsWells.
When: Your best bet is to follow Island Mountain Arts and ArtsWells social media channels. The first round of Early Bird Tickets for 2024 will go out on April 9th at 9:00 AM.
Tickets are non-refundable. We are unable to exchange or refund tickets.
If you purchased your ticket online, you need to bring a print out or digital copy on scannable device (ex. tablet or smartphone) that shows your purchase with the bar code. If you purchased your ticket at an outlet, you need to bring the hardcopy ticket.
When you bring your proof of ticket (see #1), the bar code will be scanned and you will receive your wristband.
You will receive a separate wristband for your camping, if you purchased this. See “Proof of ticket”
Box Office location for 2024 will be announced soon.
Even if you have an adult wristband, this does not prove you are of legal age according to the liquor permits. You will need 2 pieces of ID to be served alcohol.

If we reach this limit before the weekend, there will be no tickets available at the gate. Wells is a long way to come to be disappointed, so we definitely recommend buying tickets in advance.

No Pets at ArtsWells Festival!
For the safety of our festival-goers and natural wildlife, no pets are permitted within the ArtsWells Festival grounds or camping areas. This decision was made with the utmost concern for the health and well being of both dogs and participants. As fellow participants and animal lovers, we thank you for understanding and implementing this policy.
If you have a pet the best thing to do is to plan ahead and find a pet-sitter, family member or friend, veterinarian’s kennel or boarding facility near home that you have visited and feel comfortable with. We are working to source some boarding kennel details for the region and will work to update this section when we can!
