I’ve heard about wristbanding. What is that?
Wristbanding is how you find your seat once you arrive at the American Family Amphitheater! You can get wristbands at the Welcome Tent at Streetfest, and the earlier you arrive, the better the seats you’ll get! If you’re one of the first there, you may even receive a pit pass!
Can I get a pit pass?
The easiest and best way to receive a pit pass is to be one of the first in line for wristbanding at Streetfest. However, there is also chance you may win a surprise giveaway while purchasing your Pantherfest ticket or by entering the social media giveaway!
