NEW FOR 2026 – Online Ticketing Powered by FUNCARD

Accessing Your Tickets

Tickets are delivered by email and can also be accessed anytime through your Funcard account.

There are several ways to access your tickets at the Festival:

• A PDF copy of your tickets will be emailed to the address provided during checkout.

• Log in to your Funcard account and select "My Tickets" from the account menu.

• On mobile devices, tap the "Tickets" button in the bottom navigation bar.

• Print your tickets at home and bring a paper copy.

• Take a screenshot of your QR code and save it to your phone's photo gallery for quick access at the gate.

• Save the QR code image somewhere easy to find before arriving.

• If you do not see your tickets, check your spam/junk folder.

• Each ticket contains a unique QR code and may only be scanned once.

As long as your QR code is visible and can be scanned, you're good to go.

What's Included with Festival Admission?

Festival admission includes:

• Hot air balloon launches (weather and pilot permitting)

• NW Natural Night Glow (weather and pilot permitting)

• Free tethered balloon rides (weather and pilot permitting)

• Live entertainment

• Festival of Cars

• Artisan vendors

• Kids Zone activities

• And more

Please note: Carnival rides, games, 5K registration, balloon flights, and select activities require separate admission or fees.

Why a 3-Day Weekend Pass?

Hot air ballooning is a weather-dependent sport. Some days may feature launches, some may feature tethered rides, and some may not allow balloon activity at all.

Rather than selling single-day tickets and having guests disappointed by weather conditions on a particular day, TFOB offers one affordable 3-Day Weekend Pass that allows guests the flexibility to enjoy all three days of the Festival and maximize their chances of experiencing balloon activity.

Ticket Redemption

Present the applicable QR code (mobile or printed).

• 3-Day Weekend Passes and Friday Admission tickets are redeemed at any TFOB Admissions Gate.

• Unlimited Ride Wristbands are redeemed at the Funtastic Carnival Kiosk located inside the Festival grounds.

Friday Combo Package Holders

Your purchase includes two separate tickets with unique QR codes:

• Festival Admission Ticket – Redeem at any TFOB Admissions Gate.

• Unlimited Ride Carnival Ticket – Redeem at the Funtastic Carnival Kiosk located inside the Festival grounds.

Need Tickets While at the Festival?

Forgot to purchase tickets before arriving?

Once you receive your ticket email, present the QR code at the gate and a volunteer will exchange it for your Festival wristband.

No cash admission sales onsite.
