Ticketing information

 
 

We’re doing things a little differently: 

  • We are using a new custom registration system to accommodate all of the ticket and add-on options we have for you!

  • Weekend Passes are available now, and include 4 classes. 

  • Much like registering for college, in a couple months when the schedule is finalized, you’ll use our registration system to select the specific classes you want! 

    • If you’ve bought a Weekend Pass, you will get an email announcement when class registration opens. 

    • You can also purchase additional class passes if you want to take more classes! 

    • Classes will have finite capacity and wait lists as needed. 

    • If you want to add more classes before class registration opens, please contact our registration team.

  • Nocturnal Passes, which include all activities after 6pm each night, will go on sale 1 month before the event and are subject to availability. 

  • A la carte evening passes will be extremely limited, and only available at the door if we don’t sell out! 

Ticket Descriptions:

What are you really paying for:

Hi-Fi is dedicated to elevating the quality and scale of our event with integrity. Our ticket price allows us to do the following:

  • Pay our working artists and low-income members of our core team a living wage

  • Pay our DJs and Instructors a living wage, including travel stipends

  • Hire headlining, internationally renowned instructors and live musicians

  • Invest in a gorgeous venue and thoughtful amenities 

  • Create an environment that fosters connection, openness, and creativity

Weekend Pass - $375 (accessible pricing and payment plans available - see below for details)

This ticket tier covers all costs to run this event! If everyone purchases this ticket, we will have the funds to cover all operational costs and pay our staff at the rates we have promised.

Includes Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening dances; Friday Social Hour; Sunday night Performance Showcase; and 4 classes (each class is 75 min).  

Work-Trade Tickets:

The full value of a weekend pass is 100 work-trade credits, with different work shifts rated at a specific number of credits based on duration, difficulty, and overlap with peak event hours. You can sign up for 100%, 75%, or 50% work-trade to cover the corresponding percentage of your ticket price. In selecting a WT ticket, you are commiting to filling out a questionnaire about your skills and desires, and responding to communications from our WT and Volunteer Manager.

Work-trade is different from volunteering, and we offer both. Work-trade means you are choosing to trade your labor for a specific dollar amount off of your ticket price. Volunteering means you are choosing to offer your labor for free in support of the event. The kinds of work you can sign up to do through work-trade and volunteering are the same.

Accessible Pricing:

We encourage students or anyone with limited economic means to use our custom accessible pricing (AP) tool, when you register to find a price that works for you. Certain add-on items like á la carte classes or swag will not be available for AP reductions.

You are welcome to choose any available combination of work-trade and AP to cover the cost of your ticket. 

All accessible tickets come out of our Accessibility Fund. This is a generous but finite resource. Folks can choose to donate to Hi-Fi in any amount, which we will use to increase the number of accessible tickets we can offer (see Help Us Build Hi-Fi below).

Payment Plans:

We are happy to offer customized monthly payment plans divided out from time-of-purchase until the event. All tickets on a payment plan must be paid in full by Sept 30th, 2024. You will not be allowed to check in for the event if your balance is not paid, unless you have made an updated arrangement with our accessibility coordinator.

Want more classes? 

The Weekend Pass includes 4 classes, but you can choose to take more! There are 11 class time slots over the course of the weekend.

  • 5 Class Bundle - $175

  • 3 Class Bundle - $105

  • 1 Class - $35

If there is space, we may also choose to offer á la carte classes to people without Weekend Passes 1 month before the event.

Help us build Hi-Fi!

Make sure our lower-income community members can attend our event! We are operating on a different scale than most fusion events and thus our tickets prices are notably higher than the average fusion event. We’ve deliberately and intentionally set the price of our Weekend Passes to cover our costs, so we’re explicitly asking our higher-income attendees to pitch in to make this event accessible. (See above for details on what you’re paying for.)

Your donations go firstly and directly into our Accessible Pricing Fund. Any unused proceeds will support our operational costs. This is your opportunity to support the lower income folks from our international community.

Nocturnal Pass - $250 (will only be released if space allows)

Includes all evening dances, Friday Social Hour, and Sunday night Performance Showcase (does not include classes).

This ticket tier may open 1 month before the event. Capacity will be determined by how many Weekend Passes have been sold by that time and is not guaranteed in advance.

Á La Carte Evenings (will only be released if space allows)
