Dfest General Admission Wristband
The green wristband that says GA is the general admission wristband. This wristband gets you access for both days of Dfest at all venues. The wristband MUST be worn to gain entry into all festival stage areas and entry into participating venues (subject to age and capacity restrictions.) If you loose your wristband or tear it off it is not valid.

All-Event Badge
If you have an All-Event Badge you still need a wristband with it. The Badge gains you priority in Dfest lines at the festival and gives you access to the conference and tradeshow at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

VIP Wristband
With a VIP aqua wristband you have access to the festival as well as the VIP areas. Your VIP wristband gets you:
*    free bottled water in the festival stage VIP hospitality areas at both outdoor festival stages
*    access to private portable toilets in the VIP hospitality areas at both outdoor festival stages
*    access to front of stage VIP all-ages areas at both outdoor festival stages
*    access to the Southwest Airlines Business Select VIP Hospitality Lounge in Capella's (21+ only)

*    free Wi-Fi access in the hospitality lounges.

FOTA (Friend of Tom and Angie) Wristband
This is the wristband all of your friends wish they have but I guess they are not friend of Tom and Angie like you. If you have an FOTA pass it is black. This is very restricted area were you will receive free wine, water and beer. It will be the place to be during Dfest 2008.

Parking
Dfest has shuttle parking at OSU-Tulsa and Tulsa Community College Metro campus. This ticket allows you to park at these lots for no charge. If you have an orange ticket then you must park at OSU-Tulsa and a Blue ticket is for Tulsa Community College Metro campus. Shuttles run from 3pm until 2:30 am and run non stop.

VIP Party Wristband
To start the Dfest weekend off right we throw a hell of a party on Thursday July 24, 2008 at the Blank Slate. This wristband gets you into the event that runs from 8pm until midnight. Free Qdoba food is available as well as beer and wine until it runs out. Martin Atkins will be spinning and the Red Bull Beats per Minute videos will be shown for the first time. You must have this badge on to gain entrance into the event.
