Get your Parking Pass before you arrive!
There are two parking lots at the Speed of Sound Festival: the Economy Class Lot ($10 per vehicle) and the First Class Lot ($15 per vehicle). Both lots are on-site at the Dutchess County Airport (no shuttles required), however the First Class Lot is a much shorter walk from the Festival entrance! Economy Class ticket-holders ARE allowed to park in the First Class Lot as long they purchase a First Class Parking Pass.
We highly encourage carpooling (and don't forget to designate a sober driver).
**Update (8/4/16): All First Class Parking Passes are SOLD OUT!**
Save $10 - Buy Before Sunday!
Make sure to buy your Economy Class (GA) or First Class (VIP) Passes before Sunday (by Saturday night at 11:59pm) to save $10 or more! Prices escalate to our "Day Of" price level on Sunday!
