HOW TO FEST

Honestly, it’s all pretty easy but here’s what you need to know about how to do High Plains Comedy Festival right.

BUY YOUR TICKETS

If you bought a fest pass, way to go! You can skip to the next step.

If you don’t have a fest pass, not to worry—you can buy tickets to individual shows once they are announced. If you buy online, you’ll receive a digital ticket. Walkup tickets will also be available to purchase (by credit card only) if a show is not sold out.

PICK UP YOUR FESTIVAL PASS

Keep an eye out for pass pickup parties before the fest begins or pick up your festival pass at the door of any venue during the festival. You’ll receive a wristband and lanyard. The lanyard helps us identify you quickly, but the wristband is more important—a lanyard alone will not get you into shows. Please do not remove your wristband during the festival—they will not be replaced!

BEFORE EACH SHOW

Doors will open as early as 30 minutes before show time.

Audience members (that’s you!) will be admitted in the following order:
Individual ticket holders and festival pass holders, then walkup ticket buyers

Having a festival pass does not always guarantee entry—if you have a festival pass and you MUST see a specific show, our best advice is to buy an individual ticket to that show or show up early (if you’re in line at least 15 minutes before doors open, you should be fine)!

DURING EACH SHOW—BE A GREAT AUDIENCE

The perfect comedy show happens when a great comic works with a great audience—that’s you! Once inside the venue, go to the bathroom, grab a drink, and grab a seat BEFORE the show begins.

Come ready to laugh, but please avoid talking or disrupting the show—we know you’re funny, but the only people who should be talking during a comedy show are the people on the mic.

AFTER EACH SHOW

At the end of each show, the entire audience must leave the venue—including festival pass holders—so we can reset the room and admit ticket holders for the next show. If you have a tab open at the bar, please close it quickly and head outside to hop in line for the next show.

GET YOUR FESTIVAL MERCH

T-shirts and hoodies will be available for purchase at HQ on South Broadway. We accept Credit Card only.
