Need to sell your ticket???
Occasionally ticket holders run into conflicts like some family member plans a wedding during Grey Fox (imagine that!). The festival does not offer refunds, but we do not prohibit you from selling your ticket. If you are unable to use a ticket, you may post it on our web site discussion group, or on e-bay, or anywhere you like. You may have potential purchasers contact me by email for verification if necessary, AND with our Ticket Transfer option you can change the name and address to the new owner for them to print a new ticket in their name when you receive payment. Essentially what you are selling is the Ticket code.

Can't find your ticket code???
Many ticket buyers did not write down the Ticket Codes they were sent when their transaction was complete. If you do not have the code please, email Lisa and we will send codes to you together with the link to print your tickets. Please DO NOT CALL for this information as we can only answer your request when we are at the computer.

Smoking: Can I or Can't I?
In preparation for new laws in the works in NYS regarding mass gatherings, our amphitheatre, all performance venues and food areas are smoke-free. Smoking is permitted at campsites, beyond the immediate perimeter of the amphitheatre and in locations where people are not subjected to drifting smoke. Thank you. We appreciate your cooperation.
PS: If you smoke, please do not leave butts on the ground. Contain your butts and dispose of properly.

What's the weather like? What kind of clothing shall I bring? And what else should I pack?
New York State in mid-July typically has very warm to hot days that turn into cooler (and sometimes chilly) nights. So bring clothing for both and wear very comfortable shoes. Grey Fox is a very casual, outdoor experience, so be comfortable. For days, you might bring shorts and a cotton shirt, changing into long pants and adding a sweater or jacket at night. Layers work well! (Also see seating qustion).
We suggest you also bring the following: flashlight, rain gear, sunscreen, any medications that you need, and your camera. Above all, don't forget your ticket! Check out our What to Bring page for more suggestions.

Can we bring chairs into the Main Stage area?
Yep, bring your own chairs for sure! Here are a few guidelines to follow:
The area even with and in front of the sound booth is restricted to low-backed (beach-style) chairs and blankets. Blankets must not take up more than 20 square feet (5 ft x 4 ft).
High back (lawn-style) chairs may be used from the sound booth back.
Sun umbrellas & sun shades are restricted to the perimeter of the amphitheatre.
This seating system allows the maximum number of people to enjoy the Main Stage entertainment and minimizes blocked views.
Seating is on a first come, first served basis, beginning when camping gate opens on Wednesday. Once your chairs are set up, they may stay there all weekend.
Please be considerate and allow others to use your chairs when you are not using them. It's the GREY FOX WAY.
One more thing: When you're in the Main Stage amphitheatre, please wait until BETWEEN SONGS to either leave or go back to your seat. Be considerate and don't block the view of others.
Same with photos: Please don't block the view of others. We recommend using the CENTER AISLE.

Why did the festival change its name?
