Field Days tickets for all.

To keep Field Days accessible while covering event costs, we are happy to introduce a sliding scale payment model. While it’s true we are a volunteer-run non-profit, charging admission keeps the event self-sustaining. Your admission fee helps cover essentials like tent, toilet and equipment rentals, catering, printed materials, advertisements, and compensation for presenters and teamsters.

When you buy tickets, please select the option that best fits your financial situation—no questions asked. If you have any questions or concerns, contact Ivy Pagliari and Lara Weise at dapnetinfo@gmail.com.
