Can I use a photo of my paper ticket for entry if I lose my ticket?
No, venues will not accept a picture of a ticket as entry to our parties. However, the Aragon box office will be able to use a photo of your physical ticket to reprint your ticket for entry, so we do recommend taking a photo of your ticket. If your ticket has already been scanned for entry to the event, they will not be able to reprint your ticket with the exception of a 2-day pass where you will need to scan the same paper ticket for entry to both events.
Please do everything in your power to not lose your ticket though. There is almost always a line at the box office, so protecting your ticket will be your quickest and easiest route to entry. We suggest you store it behind your cell phone case.

There are no refunds on ticket purchases, before or after the event. Chargebacks to contest this policy will be rebutted.
