A festival pass must be secured by tomorrow – Wednesday, February 28 – at 12:00pm ET to qualify for the initial on-sale. Passholders will receive an email from Big Ears at the address associated with their purchase tomorrow (Wednesday) evening containing detailed instructions to secure passes to these special events. 

A limited allotment will first be available to VIP and Premier passholders beginning Thursday, February 29 at 9:00am ET. Remaining passes will be available to 4-Day Weekend and all Single-Day pass holders on Friday, March 1 beginning at 9:00am ET.

Passes for all André 3000 events will be $65.00 plus fees while passes for both Just Charles & Cello presentations will be $45.00 plus fees. Digital tickets for these special performances will be delivered to patrons via email 24 hours prior to the event.

Hotel Alert!

The 2024 Big Ears Festival is almost upon us. If you haven’t already, it’s time to secure your lodging for the festival weekend. While downtown hotels are sold out or scarce, there are many additional options, often at much lower rates, that are a short, easy drive to and from Downtown Knoxville.

We encourage you to use your favorite hotel or travel search engine to secure lodging in the Papermill, Cedar Bluff, or Merchants Drive areas of Knoxville. See below for a few options or head to our website for an expansive list of available properties. Once you arrive downtown, parking near festival venues is abundant and inexpensive (or free!) and the festival trolly or bus will be able drop you off at, or close to, all festival venues.
