With the Carolina Country Music Fest starting June 6, 2024, concert-goers looking to get a last-minute ticket might have to jump through a few extra hoops.

Tickets the music festival provides are sold out, but passes are available on the resale market. Ticketmaster sells general admission and main-stage VIP passes and Facebook Groups serve as marketplaces for people looking to buy a pass to the festival.

However, people looking to get tickets for CCMF should remain vigilant against scams and ways to ensure they get their money’s worth. The Better Business Bureau is a private non-profit that promotes creating consumer trust, and the organization listed several tips for buying on the resale market.

If you can’t buy tickets from the venue, consider the source and whether the vendor is a member of the National Association of Ticket Brokers. If you buy a ticket from a company that is a member of the National Association of Ticket Brokers and the company doesn’t provide you with what you paid for, you, as the buyer, are entitled to receive up to double the price of the ticket.

BBB also recommends comparing prices to get a good deal, ensuring the transaction terms are clear, avoiding scam advertisements online, and verifying your tickets with the event if possible.

It’s also important to know CCMF’s wristband policy. Wristbands, which spectators use to enter the festival, can be registered on CCMF’s website, and a valid band features a five-character ID.

CCMF’s wristband policy also states that wristbands purchased from third parties are not guaranteed, are not transferable, and are non-exchangeable. Ensure the wristband you purchased is undamaged, as CCMF’s website also states that they’ll be void if tampered with or removed, particularly if cut.

Indeed, CCMF provides a way to get tickets for the festival itself. While CCMF is sold out, the festival has a ticket exchange program where you can sign up to request tickets as they become available.
