To ensure the safety of our patrons, artists, volunteers, and staff, Bravo! Vail announces the cancellation of all 2020 Festival events as originally scheduled. Bravo! Vail is committed to its mission of enriching people's lives through the power of music and is therefore working on creative and safe ways to bring music to the Vail Valley community this summer.

What if I buy a lawn pass and cannot attend any concerts?
While our standard policy is that tickets and lawn passes are non-refundable, we understand the necessity to be flexible in these unprecedented times. If your plans change and you cannot use your lawn pass for any concerts in the 2020 season, we ask that you consider donating the value of your pass to help support Bravo! Vail's ongoing mission of enriching people’s lives through the power of music. If you prefer a refund rather than donating the value of your pass, please contact the box office before the Festival begins.
If the quantity of orchestra performances is reduced due to cancelations, we will reduce the overall pass cost accordingly and you will have the option to donate the value to help support Bravo's mission, place the value of your pass on account for future purchases, or receive a refund.
What if I misplace or forget to bring my lawn pass?
If you arrive to a concert without your lawn pass, the Box Office can print a paper ticket valid for that night's concert as a one-time, free-of-charge service. $5 fee for each subsequent replacement ticket. For lost passes, please call the Box Office at 877.812.5700 to reprint your pass. $15 pass reprint fee.
