The news release said early-bird passes are “very limited” and the price for a two-day pass will increase to $65 once the $55 passes are sold out. Individuals who have donated $35 or more to the Des Moines Music Coalition in the last year qualify for the early-bird sale.

"It's our way to say "thanks" because the support of DMMC members makes 80/35 happen, and drives initiatives like Music University, summer music camps, Gross Domestic Product and more in an effort to support our growing music scene," the news release said. "Sign up to be a DMMC member by Thursday, March 24 at 11:59 p.m. to get early access to tickets."
