**Third party ticket scams are getting out of control. We are not responsible if you try to purchase tickets from someone else and get scammed. Be careful, be smart and if they try to tell you that there is an ETix you know it is a scam. We mail out real hard copy tickets about 3-4 weeks before an event.
If you are buying tickets for others, it is your responsibility to pass information along to them.
There are NO ADDED CREDIT CARD FEES OR TIX SURCHARGE FEES added to the cost of your tickets at checkout. Just straight up the price you see is what you pay.

refund & cancellation policy
Rain or Shine we hold festivals. A little uncomfortable weather is not cause for a cancellation. If you decide you no longer want to attend, but the event is held, there are no refunds.
Individual Tickets are non-refundable. All Sales Final. Smithfield VA Events is not required or committed to giving you a refund. See below for refund specifics.
Chalet, Private Party Areas & Table Sponsors review your Sponsorship agreements for terms/conditions regarding refunds/cancellations.
We are a small non-profit that donates proceeds from the festivals back to the community. There are costs, risks and upfront money spent months and months before an event. We strive to put on great festivals and we value our attendees, but sometimes things happen that we cannot control.
We cannot control if restrictions are put in place that might alter or change aspects of the festival or require you to adhere to certain policies. We we hold the festival if possible and will follow any mandates that are in place at the time of the event. Just because you don't like them or choose not to attend does not mean we will refund your ticket purchase. Please see our FAQ regarding COVID or Other Virus Warning.
We do carry (very expensive) catastrophic cancelation insurance for “normal risks”, hurricanes, tornadoes, fire, or other things that create a public safety issue. It does not however cover viruses, “uncomfortable weather”, or perhaps other out of the ordinary risks like global pandemics or alien invasions or something else we can't even imagine. Actually, we are covered for Alien Invasions...just not pandemics...go figure that....
In the event of a cancellation that IS COVERED by our insurance policy:
We should have the ability (once we receive the insurance check which can take up to 120 days) to refund ALL types of tickets, tables and sponsorships in full. However please note that based on the actual claim process with the insurance company, if there are unusual or unexpected non-mitigable expenses that are not covered general admission tickets purchased on-line may only receive a partial refund. All other types will be refunded in full.
If we have to cancel for a reason NOT COVERED by the insurance policy:
Regular General Admission tickets purchased on-line or any other way are non-refundable and become a donation to our organization.
Early Bird Tickets are refundable up to the price of the General Admission Ticket. For example, if you purchase the $100 Early Bird Tix and the general admit tix is $60, you will receive a $60 refund. The $40 of your $100 ticket that was a donation is NOT REFUNDABLE.
Non-Sponsor Tables with general admission tickets and any upgrades you added in are non-refundable and are a donation.
Sponsor Tables & Chalets & Small Business Sponsorships - See your sponsorship agreement for refund/cancellation policies.
BOTTOM LINE - IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR TICKET COST BECOMING A FULL DONATION FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES, THEN PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE TICKETS.

Hints & troubleshooting paypal process
INSTRUCTIONS ON PURCHASE:
We use PayPal to process on our on-line orders. You do not have to have a PayPal account, there is an option to pay with a credit card/debit card also. Sometime folks who click over from facebook have weird problems, so try typing our website directly into your internet browser, instead of clicking thru facebook.
Your purchase is not confirmed until you complete the entire payment process. Just because you put it in your cart does not mean you "have" the tickets.
If the "ADD to CART BUTTONS" are not there and it is after release time, REFRESH YOUR BROWSER to make them "LIVE".
At release times it can get a little crazy as there are hundreds and hundreds of folks trying to get a limited number of tix or non-sponsor tables. It can sell out very fast (like in a minute, seriously) sometimes, especially BOB Fest. So if it "jams" up on you or "spins out" it is because it sold out. Again, until you complete the entire payment process your order is not complete. Just because you put it in your cart does not mean you "have" them.
