WAITLIST FAQS

When a show is not currently on sale (ex: pre-sale or a sold out pass type or show), items may be listed on a waitlist to offer festival or camping passes that aren’t available to the public. Due to high demand and limited availability, pricing will be dynamic and is subject to change.

No, not every pass will offer a waitlist, due to availability. 

While viewing the Inkcarceration shopping cart, log in to your Front Gate Tickets account HERE. Click on the “YOUR ACCOUNT” tab at the top of the page. If a waitlist is available for the event you are interested in, you will see “WAITLIST” in your account options.
Once you click WAITLIST, you will see a list of ticket options available to request.  
(The passes and prices listed below are hypothetical)
Select your desired pass and click “Request.” The following prompt should pop up. If you don’t see anything, make sure you have pop-ups enabled.

You will be prompted to update your Payment Method and Shipping Address in the following steps. Once your request is submitted, you will receive an email confirmation summarizing your request.

Please note there is no way to estimate how long it will take to be next in line. There is no guarantee that you will receive an offer to purchase waitlist passes. If passes become available to purchase and your request is approved, you will be sent a waitlist confirmation. Please review this confirmation to ensure that your information is still correct. Unless you opt out of your request by the date listed in your email confirmation, you will then be charged the full amount requested to your stored Payment Method.

*Please review your stored payment method. Since only one payment method can be saved to your Front Gate account at a time, any layaway purchases made for an FGT event might have overwritten the payment method you entered at the time of the request. Upon payment, you will receive an Order Receipt and your order will be delivered to your stored Shipping Address if the purchase was made during the event’s shipping timeline.

No. Signing up for the waitlist grabs a spot in line but does not guarantee that passes will be available at a later date.

You can now add multiple items to your waitlist request! Please note: If your waitlist request is approved, ALL items on the request will be purchased. Please only request what you intend to purchase if your request is offered.

Currently, layaway is not available for waitlist passes. You will be charged full price at time of purchase. 

Waitlist passes will be released as they become available. You will receive the waitlist offer when your turn comes up, should they become available. You are not guaranteed an offer to purchase tickets.

Waitlist passes will ship if they were purchased before the shipping cutoff. If your tickets are purchased too late to ship for your event, they can be picked up at the box office / will call window with a photo ID.
