The countdown is on for Stars and Thunder, kicking off this Saturday, June 24!

The City of Timmins would like to remind all those who have purchased 8-day general admission or VIP tickets that bracelets can be picked up this Friday, June 23 from 1pm-9pm at the Archie Dillon Sportsplex.

This is for those who wish to pick up their bracelets before the festival. Those who cannot or do not wish to pick them up on June 23 can bring their printed tickets to the festival between June 24 and July 1 and receive their bracelet at that time.

Bracelets will be issued for 8-day general admission and VIP admission only.

A different method of identification will be used for single-day tickets so attendants can still leave and come back if they wish to do so. Separate re-entry lines will be set up and identified for those who are re-entering the park, in order to reduce wait times for those who have already been through the gates.

In terms of bracelet exchange, ticket holders who cannot keep the bracelet on for the duration of the festival will NEED to register with a piece of photo ID either on June 23 or at the Merchandise tent throughout the festival. They will be issued a card, and upon re-entry they will be required to present this card, the corresponding piece of photo ID and the bracelet that has been removed.

People will also have the option to upgrade from an 8-day general admission to an 8-day VIP pass for an additional $160 during the advanced bracelet pick up or upon the first time entering the festival.
