CHICAGO, IL. (Top40 Charts) Riot Fest and Carnival organizers are excited to announce it will be returning to Humboldt Park
September 11-13, 2015. In keeping with our annual tradition, Riot Fest is releasing a limited number of 3-Day GA and VIP tickets at a greatly reduced price. Tickets will be starting at $89.98 and will go on sale tomorrow, Tuesday November 25th at 10:00 am CST via ticketfly.com and riotfest.org.
This year Organizers are also offering Karma Cash for tickets. Karma Cash allows Riot Fest Fans, who might not otherwise be able to afford a ticket, a chance to earn one 3-day GA ticket through volunteer service with a registered 501c3 of their choice.
Riot Fest founder, Mike Petryshyn, stated that "Karma Cash became an idea last week after one of our friends over at Ticketfly.com, Jeff White, was talking to me about an honor system program at a Denver restaurant. The program was such that if you couldn't afford to pay for your meal, the restaurant would give you a stamped envelope before you left and you'd pay when you could, Great idea I thought and while he was finishing his story, I was seeing how I could incorporate that into Riot Fest 2015. After a minute or so, a light bulb went off in my head and I was calling the Riot team and telling them to prepare for Karma Cash."
How Karma Cash works:
* A person completes 25 hours of volunteer work at a registered 501c3 and will receive 1 GA 3-Day pass
