When and if you become a Lucidity ambassador, you will be given a unique promo code to communicate to your friends and networks. This promo code acts as a discount code to the ticket buyer, giving them a slightly reduced price ($5 off). We are able to track how many promo code usages your promotions generate and will compensate you with a half-price 3-day festival pass upon your first 6 code usages and a free 3-day festival pass in exchange for your first 12 promo code usages. For every usage beyond 12, we will offer you $10 commission per usage for 3-day and 2-day passes and a 5$ commission per youth ticket and 1-day pass.

Our top promoters in the last few years earned between $500-800 in addition to their tickets.

Volunteer - (Show Us Your Stuff!)

*Application NOW CLOSED. Applicants will hear back by the end of February.*

Volunteering is an important part of what makes magical events like Lucidity possible and important part of participating in the world at large. Whether you’re building an art installation, helping a neighboring camp with their setup, assisting participants upon their arrival with the Gate and Box Office crews, or just running amok creating a smile on every fellow participant you encounter, you’re a pivotal piece in the puzzle. The temporary community that is Lucidity exists because of the hard work and dedication of volunteers offering their time, resources, knowledge, and skills year round and on site. When something needs doing, it gets done, by you, and you!, and you!, and you!

No experience necessary – just a desire to learn new things and to be an active part of your community!
