Absolutely. Just like any concert, #GRIDLIFE has a limited capacity and certain ticket types will likely sell out ahead of time.

100% GRIDLIFE is friendly for your kids, your friends' kids, and even that bully kid down the street. In fact all kids 12 and under receive free admission. Kids MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

All kids 12 and under are free and do not require a ticket (they Must be accompanied by a parent) Adults 86-88 are also free but need to be accompanied by a kid under 12. Anyone over 12 is required to have a festival ticket. Camping is 18+ unless with a parent or guardian.

It certainly is a bummer that you are unable to make it, hopefully you are doing something more awesome like paragliding or scuba diving shipwrecks. Unfortunately we cannot offer refunds as all ticket sales are final. We do offer the option to transfer your tickets to someone if you are unable to attend. You can reach out to help@grid.life for more information on how to transfer tickets.

#GRIDLIFE is a rain or shine event, on-track as well as off-track activities will take place regardless of weather. Be prepared for hot days, cool nights and a chance of rain. Or maybe cool days and freezing nights, with 22 hours of straight rain, stranger things have happened. This is the midwest after all. No refunds will be granted due to weather.

We will have a number of food vendors and concessions at GRIDLIFE this year. There will be bars at the #AFTERGRID stage each night of the festival. No outside beverages will be allowed in the concert field. Anyone consuming alcoholic beverages purchased or bought may be required to go through an ID check and receive a wristband verifying that they are of age.

GRIDLIFE’S Box Office and Merch are completely Cashless. We accept all major credit cards and digital payments so come prepared.

Please plan to bring your own back up batteries and charging for digital devices.

Yes, GRIDLIFE events have 24/hr medical available on site. If you or another guest are in need of medical assistance, notify security, a GRIDLIFE representative, or concession stand employee so they can contact the Medical staff.

Yes there are both temporary and permanent restroom facilities on site including Showers.

We love pups but for the safety of all attendees, including sweet Rosco, we strongly discourage bringing pets. Pets are not allowed in the festival grounds at any time. It is our policy that should you absolutely need to bring your pet, it must be kept under the control of a leash or in your vehicle with adequate ventilation, food and water.

Pets are NOT allowed unattended in the campground. You must pick up and dispose of waste left behind by your pet. Should the pet cause harm or become a disturbance to other spectators, it will be grounds for ejection from the park without a refund. Pets are NOT permitted in Paddock areas during spectator events.

We want you to have a good time and it's okay to get excited about #GRIDLIFE. But before you express that excitement, know what forms of expression can get you booted and banned. Burnouts, Revving, donuts in the grass, cooler smashing, neighbor harassing, S*it talking, fighting, thievery, excessive noise, banned substances, weapons, hot dog (or other) unapproved vending, late night 2 stepping, drinking while the track is hot, and excessive party fouls. Basically don't be a dummy.

If you have a question not listed be sure to reach out to us at help@grid.life

We’re all for a solid campsite setup—but there are a few rules to keep things safe and fun for everyone.

Totally allowed:
✔️ BBQs, camp stoves, and above-ground cooking gear (grill it up!)
✔️ Standard kitchen utensils—spatulas, tongs, etc
✔️ Cooking Knives under 5 inches, no pocket knives however thats a no go.
✔️ Tents, coolers, shade setups, and all your usual campground vibes

Leave it at home:
❌ Weapons (obviously)
❌ Knives longer than 5 inches
❌ Big Ol Bonfire Pits

About glass:
Glass bottles + containers are now allowed in campground areas only. This is new for this year—cheers to that! But glass is still a no-go in the paddock. Broken glass and race tires? Not a good combo.
