What to know about the Foundation Series show in Edmonton

When is the Foundation Series show coming to Edmonton and where will it be?

Is there parking?

The exact set times have not been released yet.

What kinds of tickets are available?

There are three types of tickets available for purchase: GA, VIP, and House Guest.

GA is your standard general admission ticket, meaning you’ll get access to the festival as well as standard amenities. A step up from that is VIP, which offers a private viewing area, bar, and bathrooms, not to mention priority entry.

House Guest is the highest level of ticket you’ll be able to get, and it’s definitely worth the upgrade. Not only do you get express entry to the festival and the private bar and bathrooms, but you’ll be able to get on stage yourself — boiler room style.

How much are tickets?

As of Sept. 2, most tickets have increased in price due to their tier system. GA tickets are now $145.54, VIP tickets are $216.39, and House Guest tickets are $360.69.

You’ll be able to purchase tickets on Ticketmaster online.
