FAQ

How will I know if I have been chosen as a 2020 Hopscotch Music Festival volunteer?

Please make sure the e-mail address you use to apply is valid. Once you have confirmed your shift you are all set. If your application is denied for any reason, you will be notified ASAP. By August 1 you should receive an email with information about training sessions.

Will there be any training?

There will be volunteer training sessions prior to the festival. Volunteers will be required to attend one of the three training sessions offered. Typically these training sessions take place in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill in order to best accommodate the daily schedules of our volunteers throughout the Triangle. During the festival, you will work under the supervision of our volunteer coordinator.

Can I request when I work?

Volunteers will be able to select their shifts at the time of application—these are offered on a first come, first served basis. Venue assignments, however, will be chosen by the volunteer coordinator. You will receive your venue assignment at check-in.

Where should we park?

We are not able to pay for your parking during your assigned shift; however, there is an abundance of parking decks in the area, many of which are free after 7 PM.

Do the volunteer day passes to attend shows cost anything?

There is a $50 deposit for each pass you use on the day you do not work (2 days =$100). Only checks or credit/debit cards accepted no cash. Your deposit will not be charged if you complete your assigned volunteer shift.
