Second Wave GA Noise Pop Festival badges are available for purchase today for $179, and Student badges are on sale for $129. The festival’s tiered pricing structure will reward those who buy early, with badge prices going up as the festival approaches and future waves of artists are announced. All badges grant access to all general admission (non-reserved seating) music concerts, badge-only happy hours, NPHQ and some very special events soon to be announced. Badges are non-transferrable with age-restrictions for some events, and badge-holders must arrive within 60 minutes after club door times to guarantee entrance. All badge-holders will also have access to all film screenings and film-related events throughout the weeklong festival.
A limited number of Super Fan and the ultra exclusive Super Fam +1 badges are also available for $399 and $850, a price that will remain the same until they are sold out. Super badge-holders will experience the true red carpet treatment at the festival, where they receive guaranteed entry to all festival events, a special merch package, complimentary drink tickets to select events, and a personal Noise Pop concierge available for assistance throughout the weeklong festival. The additional value of the Super Fam badge is the ability to have an additional badge that is transferable to any guest. For any badge-related questions, contact Noise Pop directly at badge@noisepop.com.
