Please do not purchase secondhand tickets!

Every year, we turn away dozens of attendees who have purchased a fake or duplicate ticket to All Pints North. Scammers often buy a single ticket and sell it to multiple people, or copy our branding and create QR codes to mimic real tickets.  There is no way for us to ensure the authenticity of your secondhand ticket before the fest, and those with fake/duplicate tickets will not be let into APN. All Pints North sells out every year; buying your ticket directly from us is the only way to guarantee an authentic ticket. If you must purchase a ticket on the secondary market, please make the transfer AT the event to ensure the authenticity of your ticket and the seller.

Could the festival get canceled? We do everything we can to provide a quality event for craft beer fans, and the health and safety our festival attendees, workers, and volunteers are of utmost importance. The event would be canceled if conditions that threaten the health and safety of people at our festival occur, including extreme weather, dangerous air quality, or other public health or safety emergencies. We make every effort to alert festgoers as early as possible if these conditions are likely, or if we have to cancel an event. Unfortunately, if a cancellation like this occurs, we are not able to issue refunds or reschedule the festival.

I can’t attend the fest. Can I cancel my ticket and get a refund? All purchases are final and we do not issue refunds. You are welcome to sell or give your ticket to a friend or family member.

Will there be tickets day-of? Possibly, but it is unlikely. If the ticket page shows tickets as sold out, then there are no longer any tickets available. There are no ticket sales at the door. Tickets must be purchased online.

Can you verify my secondhand ticket is real? No. Buying your ticket directly from us is the only way to guarantee an authentic ticket.
