YES! When you arrive at the ranch, your ticket will be scanned, small hole punched in it and then it will be returned to you as a momento of this momentous occasion!
You know your ticket is valid if you purchased the ticket yourself from
an authorized ticket store or through our online ordering system. We
urge you NOT to buy tickets off the street, you assume the risk if you
do. If those tickets were stolen or purchased with a stolen credit
card, the tickets will be invalidated and you will be stuck at the gate
having to pay for another ticket. Protect yourself....if the deal is
too good to be true...you know the rest.
Do not bring your dog. Dogs are not allowed within festival grounds.
There is a kennel at front gate, but your pooch will be happier if
he/she is left at home.

No you don't. However, there are certain areas that will be "car-free"
camping zones. When you arrive, the parking attendant will direct you.
Most Telus cel phones will only work on the ranch if you have an
antenna. The closest phone is in the town of Salmo, 12km from the site.
The site office DOES NOT have a phone available to guests.
We do not offer day passes as the show runs 24 hours a day!
Shambhala is a non-alcohol event. Vehicles may be searched at the main
gate and alcohol will be confiscated. Any alcohol on the grounds will
be dumped.
There will ONLY be tickets at the door if we DO NOT sell out. We encourage you to buy your tickets ahead of time. IF we do not sell out, tickets for 2008 will be offered at $250. CASH ONLY!!!!
E-mail orders@shambhalamusicfestival.com. Be sure to have you order
number handy. Registered mail requires that you sign for your
package/letter. If you are not home when they try to deliver, they will
leave you with a "parcel pick-up card". If you do not claim the letter
within a reasonable amount of time, it will be returned to us.
Tickets will generally take up to 2 weeks for Canadian orders. International orders can expect your tickets to arrive within 3-4weeks.
The festival gates open at 8am on August the 6th for early camping at
$40 per person and on August 7th for $20 per person. There is no
entertainment and all stages are closed until Thursday the 7th at 5PM.
Camping is included in the cost of your ticket between August 8th and
the 11th.
Although children can come to Shambhala, this festival is an
adult-oriented party. There are no special offerings for kids, no
activities, no parks etc. Please also be aware, that music is playing
24 hours a day and there are large crowds. It is easy for kids to
wander and get lost; the grounds are large and well-treed with many
pathways, there is also a swiftly moving river running through the
property. If you do bring kids PLEASE PLEASE watch them carefully at
all times, you are responsible for their wellbeing! Children 11 and
under are free and 12 and older are full price. All kids are required
to be under adult supervision with a respondible adult at all times. We
require anyone under the age of 16 to be with a chaperone.














Opening Soon!
