Frequently Asked Questions
Will tickets sell out quickly?
Based on recent years and general enthusiasm for the event, we expect main sale tickets to sell out nearly immediately. We recommend you’re ready at 7 pm on 6/4 to purchase your tickets.
Do children require tickets?
Children under the age of 13 do not require tickets for entry. This year we will require that all minors are registered. The child registration form will be posted on the Critical Northwest website soon.
Are In/Out passes available?
A limited number of in/out passes will be available by application. Please fill out this form.
Are discounted tickets available?
All discounted tickets have already been allocated.
Can I transfer my tickets after I purchase them?
Yes! Tickets and vehicle passes can be transferred after purchase until 11:59pm on July 15th. Instructions can be found in this guide.
Do all tickets have to be purchased in the final attendee’s name?
We appreciate and encourage you to try to purchase tickets in the final recipient’s name. We understand that this is not always possible, and there will be duplicate purchases. Nothing in the ticketing system will prevent multiple purchases in the same name. After the sale, there will be the option to edit the name on the tickets before the event. All tickets MUST be in the final attendee’s name prior to the event.
I’m not sure if I’m an INW Firestarter Member, can I check?
Indeed you can! You can verify your Ignition Northwest Firestarter membership by logging into your account here. If you need to join, you can sign up here.
