Ticket Faqs

How much do Fast Access Passes Cost?

Fast Access Passes are the best way to experience Tin Pan South as they allow entry to any participating Tin Pan South show (until venue reaches capacity). 

Pricing

$110 for NSAI members

$140 non-members

Does my pass include food?

No, Fast Access Passes only cover the entry fee to the venue(s). Pass holders are responsible for any required food/beverage minimum at the venue(s). 

I have a Fast Access Pass, am I guaranteed admission?

Although passholders receive priority entry into each venue when they arrive before doors open, all venues have a capacity, so admission is not guaranteed.  Venue capacity limitations are based on Metro Nashville Fire Codes.  If a venue has filled to capacity or requires reservations, festival staff may refuse admission.

Are Fast Access Passes Refundable?

All Fast Access Pass purchases are non-refundable. 

If you opted to transfer your 2020 Passes to the 2021 festival, we will send out confirmations prior to pass on-sale to verify the transfer and you will be all set!

What time do doors open?

Doors will open 30 minutes prior to show-time (with the exception of the Bluebird Cafe early shows and all shows at 3rd and Lindsley where doors open 1 hour prior to showtime) Once doors open, the PASS line will be accepted first, followed by the CASH LINE until the venue hits capacity.

 
Passes and single-show tickets are not refundable or transferable for any reason. 

How does festival admission work?

Every venue will have two lines, a 'Fast Access Pass' line and a 'Cash Line'. All attendees in the Fast Access Pass line will be admitted before Cash Line attendees may enter.

The majority of our events are first-come, first-serve, so “seat holds” are not permitted. Venue capacity is determined as attendees enter the venue so it is not possible to “hold a seat” for someone who has not yet been admitted to the venue. 

I don't have a pass, how can I attend a show?

If you would like to come to a show but do not have a pass, locate and line up in the CASH LINE. Once all pass holders enter the venue, CASH LINE attendees are admitted until the venue hits capacity.

PASS PICKUP SCHEDULE

All passes must be picked up at NSAI (1710 Roy Acuff Place, Nashville, TN 37203). Unfortunately, we are unable to distribute passes by mail.

PASS PICK-UP SCHEDULE

Passes will be available for pickup beginning November 9, 2021 during normal NSAI business hours.

 

Is there more than one type of pass?

All festival passes available for purchase online are the same. The only other type of admission is by paying cash at-the-door.
