Why do you want people to pick up wristbands to see an evening show on the MainStage?
We try to learn from our mistakes. Last year we brought in two acts that drew crowds that exceeded our expectations and our capacity. This year we have adjusted the site to provide more space in front of the MainStage and we are introducing controlled entry to that area through the MainStage wristband system. The MainStage wristbands guarantee admission to the MainStage amphitheatre for the show you wish to see. The wristbands are available for free; audience members will not incur additional costs. This system will allow us to provide a safer and more enjoyable experience—and it gives dedicated fans a guarantee to see a show. Although the festival wristband system is new to FolkFest and Victoria, it has been used successfully at other festivals throughout North America.
