Reentry, In and Outs, and Wristband Policy:

Three-day ticket holders must exchange their ticket for a weekend wristband and will be allowed to re-enter the Festival. Single day ticket holders will not be allowed to re-enter the Festival. You must pass through security each time you enter. You must be scanned upon exit at the gate in order to re-enter that same day.

Wristbands MUST be worn for entry into the Festival. Wristbands are non-transferable, non-exchangeable and cannot be replaced. They cannot be removed and must be worn all three days to allow entry. Please don't remove, stretch or tamper with your wristband in any way or you will not be allowed entry (and that will make us sad).

Allowed and Not Allowed materials:

Guests and their belongings are subject to search upon entry or re-entry. You can help keep the lines moving quickly by leaving all prohibited items at home.

Safety Questions:

We make every effort to create a safe environment on the festival grounds, including public and private security and medical staff. If you need any assistance, seek out the medical tent, or look for a peace officer or festival staff member.

Also, it can get hot in Atlanta during the summer and heatstroke is not cool. Drink lots of water. Look for free water filling stations throughout the festival grounds. Wear sunscreen. Red and crispy is so two years ago. Cool off (and freshen up) at the misting areas on site.

Lost and Found:

During the Festival, return found items or look for lost items at the Information/Lost & Found booths. After the Festival, you can inquire about lost items by contacting info@counterpointfestival.com. Valuables will be held for 30 days and then donated to a local charity. MCP Presents and C3 Presents will not be held liable for any unclaimed items.
