Frequently Asked Questions
Ticket Information
Purchasing Tickets
How can I purchase tickets?
Tickets can be purchased in advance online through the Future Store.
Please note: For Future Forest 2027, we will be capping attendance at just 2,100 GA Weekend Tickets for a more intimate & memorable experience.
Pending availability, a limited number of General Admission Weekend Tickets may also be available for purchase in person at the gate ($350, HST included).
We recommend purchasing early to secure your spot!
What payment methods do you accept, and are there any fees?
You can pay in the Future Store by card (credit or debit), PayPal or e-transfer, or spread the cost with a FuturePay payment plan. HST is added at checkout.
Payments by card (credit or debit) or PayPal also carry a 3% processing fee (plus HST on the fee), shown at checkout before you pay. E-transfer has no processing fee.
See section 2.7 of our Terms & Conditions.
Can you explain the different phases of ticket sales?
Future Forest uses a tiered system for ticket pricing. This means that tickets are sold in phases, each with a set number of tickets. Once all tickets in one phase are sold, ticket sales move on to the next phase.
It's important to note that although ticket prices increase with each new phase, regardless of which ticket phase you purchase, the level of event access remains the same. Each phase offers the same level of event admission.
Therefore, buying tickets earlier can help save you money without affecting your event experience.
How will I receive my tickets if I purchase them from the Future Store?
All tickets for Future Forest 2027 are printed hard copy tickets.
Tickets purchased through the Future Store will be mailed to you via Canada Post, and all tickets are sent with tracking. Future Forest 2027 tickets ship from October 31, 2026. From then on, most orders take 1-2 business days to process, then 1-3 business days for Canada Xpresspost shipping or 1-8 business days for Expedited Tracked (Carbon-Neutral) shipping within Canada. Shipping within Canada is free on orders of $600 or more, before tax, shipping and fees. Orders to the USA ship at Canada Post rates shown at checkout, and orders to all other countries ship at a flat rate of $15.
If you have pre-ordered your tickets, they will be shipped within these guidelines once the tickets have been printed.
If you have purchased your ticket(s) through the FuturePay payment plan, your order will be shipped within these guidelines once your payment plan has been completed.
Important: Please let our sales team know of any changes to your shipping address or contact information before you complete your FuturePay plan by contacting order@futureforest.ca.
We do not offer electronic tickets, and all ticket holders must have their hardcopy ticket(s) with them when they arrive and a valid government-issued photo ID (for age verification purposes) to gain admission to the event. Individuals who attempt to check in without their hardcopy ticket(s) or a valid piece of ID will be refused admission or asked to repurchase a new ticket.
Future Forest guarantees the safe delivery of all tickets purchased through the Future Store.
What should I do if I haven't received my tickets?
Future Forest guarantees the safe delivery of all tickets purchased directly through the Future Store.
Future Forest 2027 tickets ship from October 31, 2026. From then on, most orders take 1-2 business days for processing, followed by 1-3 business days for Canada Xpresspost shipping or 1-8 business days for expedited tracked shipping. If your tickets haven't arrived within this timeframe, please take the following steps:
1) Verify that your shipping information is correct.
2) Check the tracking details provided in your confirmation email.
3) If you are still unable to locate your tickets, please get in touch with our sales team for assistance by reaching out to order@futureforest.ca
You have 30 days from the shipping date to report any undelivered tickets. We will initiate an investigation with Canada Post and file a claim on your behalf. If it is determined that your tickets were not delivered due to a fault of Future Forest or Canada Post, we will void the QR codes on the un-delivered tickets and re-issue new tickets at no extra charge. However, if the tickets were not delivered due to incorrect shipping details, or has exceeded this time frame, additional shipping fees may apply.
Please note: Our shipping guarantee does not apply to tickets purchased from third-party sellers (such as the Future Forest Ticket Exchange). Future Forest is not responsible for facilitating the payment or exchange of third-party ticket sales, and tickets purchased via these platforms are at the buyer’s risk.
Are electronic tickets available?
No, given the fact that we operate in a remote, off-grid location, Future Forest cannot offer electronic tickets.
Due to operational limitations, all tickets for Future Forest are printed, hardcopy tickets, and all General Admission Weekend ticket holders must present both their hardcopy ticket(s) and a valid government-issued photo ID (for age verification purposes only) to gain admission to the event.
For security reasons, digital copies such as photos of QR codes, invoices, payment receipts, and IDs will not be accepted at the gate in place of a hardcopy ticket. Individuals who attempt to check in without their hardcopy ticket(s) will be asked to purchase a new ticket to gain entry to the event.
Is a Future Pass required to purchase tickets?
No, a Future Pass is not required to purchase tickets or attend the event with a ticket.
What should I do if my ticket is lost, stolen, damaged, or forgotten at home?
You are responsible for your ticket.
If your ticket has been lost, stolen, or goes unused, as per our terms & conditions, it cannot be replaced or refunded. If the ticket’s barcode is duplicated, removed, or tampered with, the ticket becomes invalid. If you attempt to check in without your hardcopy ticket, you will be asked to re-purchase a new one to gain admission to the event.
However, in special circumstances, if you lose your ticket or forget it at home, you can qualify for a refund on the un-used ticket if all of the following conditions are met:
1) You buy a replacement ticket at the gate using the same credit or debit card as the original purchase. If your original order was paid by PayPal, e-transfer or FuturePay, the card you use at the gate must be in the same name as the original purchaser. Replacement tickets paid for in cash do not qualify.
2) The original ticket isn’t scanned at the event.
3) You email proof of purchase for both tickets to order@futureforest.ca. We recommend taking photos of any receipts you might have in case the receipt is also lost.
What proof is required?
To verify a refund under this policy, you must include:
1) Gate receipt for the replacement ticket (paper receipt).
2) The replacement ticket number.
3) The original order number or a photo of the lost/damaged/misplaced ticket.
Tip: Take photos of receipts & replacement ticket stubs immediately in case paper copies are misplaced.
Once verified, we’ll refund the price of the original unused ticket(s) plus HST. However, shipping fees and transaction fees, including card processing fees, are not refundable.
Please note: A $25 processing fee per order will be deducted from your refund.
Early Access and parking passes: The same applies if you forget a Thursday or Wednesday Early Access Pass or a Zone C Parking Pass. Buy a replacement at the gate, showing the name on your original order or your order ID (Thursday $125, HST included; Wednesday $60 plus HST, sold at the gate only to replace a missing pass; Zone C Parking $60, HST included), and your unused original may be refunded under the same conditions. Reserved Site passes are not included.
Force Majeure
We won't offer refunds if the festival is cut short or cancelled due to extreme weather, forest fires, unforeseen natural events, government regulations, or situations beyond our control. If the festival is postponed, your ticket will be valid for the rescheduled date. For more details, see section 3.3 of our Terms & Conditions.
Payment Plans
Are payment plans available for ticket purchases?
Yes, you can select FuturePay (the payment plan option) during the checkout process. All FuturePay payment plans for Future Forest 2027 are processed using a third party: Partial.ly. Just to let you know, you must have a valid credit or debit card to make a payment plan.

See section 4 of our Terms & Conditions for details.
How can I update my shipping address for my FuturePay plan?
If your shipping address or contact information changes, you must notify our sales team by emailing order@futureforest.ca before your payment plan is completed. Updating your shipping address through your partial.ly account will only change the shipping address for future payment plans and will not be reflected in your current plan.
Third-Party Sales and Refunds
If I can no longer attend, am I eligible for a ticket refund?
Per our terms and conditions, we do not offer refunds on ticket sales. However, individuals who can no longer attend the event and wish to sell their ticket(s) are welcome to do so via our Future Forest Ticket Exchange Group on Facebook. This policy has been implemented to ensure fairness and transparency for all participants, and we appreciate your understanding.
How does the Future Forest Ticket Exchange Group work for selling my ticket?
What is the Future Forest Ticket Exchange Group?
The Future Forest Ticket Exchange Group is a Facebook community where individuals can buy or sell their Future Forest tickets. It is the official resale channel named in our terms and conditions. Selling privately to someone you know is also allowed.
How does the ticket verification process work?
Every ticket must be verified before a sale post is approved. To sell your tickets, follow these steps:
- Verify your tickets with our ticket verification form, using the email address you bought your tickets with.
- Create your post in the Future Forest Ticket Exchange Group, following the directions posted there, with all QR codes and barcodes covered.
Can I post to look for tickets?
To maintain the integrity of transactions, we do not allow posts seeking tickets, as verifying responses can be challenging.
When will my post be approved?
Your post will be approved once your ticket is verified, so buyers know the seller is a verified ticket holder.
Note on Third-Party Sales
Future Forest is not responsible for facilitating the payment or exchange of any third-party ticket sales. Transactions made through the Ticket Exchange Group are at the user’s risk. If you suspect any fraudulent activity, please inform our sales team immediately at order@futureforest.ca.
What information needs to be transferred if I sell my ticket?
Given that our event relies on the use of hard-copy tickets (only), if you sell your ticket to someone else, you do not need to transfer the name or any other information to complete the transaction.
A hardcopy ticket and a valid government-issued photo ID (for age verification only) are all that is required for event admission.
This means that if you sell your ticket to someone else, you will need to exchange the ticket either through mail or in person, depending on your respective comfort levels.

Gate, Arrival, and Admission
Where is Future Forest located?
Future Forest is located on a remote 200 acre woodlot, approx. 8km down the 18 Rd, in Albright's Corner, NB:
Location:
18 Road
Albright's Corner, NB Canada
What time do the gates open/close, and what do I need to bring with me for event admission?
Given the fact that we operate in a remote (off-grid) location, all participants must have their physical, hardcopy tickets/ applicable passes, and a valid government-issued photo ID (for age verification only) in hand to gain admission to the event.
- For General Admission Weekend ticket holders, the gates open at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, August 6, 2027, and the main gate closes to new arrivals at 1:00 a.m. each night. Any other daily closing times for 2027 will be posted closer to the festival.
- For those with a Thursday Early Access Pass: gates open at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 5, 2027, and the festival officially opens at noon. Please note that all Thursday Early Access Pass holders must also have a GA Weekend Ticket for event admission on Thursday.
- For those with a Wednesday Early Access Pass: gates open at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, August 4, 2027.

What if I arrive outside of these hours?
Admission will not be granted outside of these hours. Guests who wish to check in after the gates have closed must return during operating hours.
What if I don’t have my hardcopy ticket?
Admission will be refused without a hardcopy ticket. If you forget your ticket, you will need to buy a replacement ticket at the gate, ($350, HST included), which you can do even when public gate sales are sold out. To buy from this replacement reserve, show the name on your original order or your order ID. In limited circumstances, you may qualify for a refund of your unused original ticket: see “What should I do if my ticket is lost, stolen, damaged, or forgotten at home?” under Purchasing Tickets for the conditions and fees. The same applies to forgotten Early Access and Zone C Parking Passes, but not to Reserved Site passes.
Can I leave and re-enter the event?
Yes, guests who have checked in can leave and re-enter the event anytime, even after the gates have been closed. However, re-entry requires:
- Your valid, intact festival wristband (fastened to your wrist), and government-issued photo ID on request. Re-entry on foot is free.
- If you re-enter by vehicle: a valid parking pass and the $20 vehicle re-entry fee (per vehicle, per re-entry)
Why is there a re-entry fee?
To ensure the safety and manageability of our event, we've implemented a $20 vehicle re-entry fee. This policy responds to heightened traffic congestion, increased risk to pedestrians, and concerns regarding drinking and driving associated with multiple entries. The cost is part of our commitment to maintaining a secure and enjoyable environment for all attendees.
Is Early Arrival Permitted?
General Admission Weekend Ticket holders who wish to arrive early may also purchase a Wednesday Early Access Pass or a Thursday Early Access Pass.
Early Access Passes can be purchased in advance (at the Future Store). Thursday Early Access Passes are also sold at the gate (while supplies last); Wednesday Early Access Passes are sold in advance only, except at the gate to replace a missing pass ($60 plus HST).

Accessibility
What accommodations are available for attendees with accessibility requirements?
At Future Forest, we are committed to making our event an accessible and enjoyable experience for everyone. Here are the key features and supports we currently offer for those with accessibility needs:
- Accessible Park & Camp: We've re-zoned our most central campsites, previously known as park & camp, to prioritize individuals with accessibility or mobility needs. This area is close to essential amenities like the Info Hub, food vendors, the Tea Hive, and washroom facilities. It's also conveniently located between the Mushroom and Prism Stages.
- Vehicle Accessibility: If your vehicle has an accessibility placard, you can park right next to your campsite. This feature eliminates long walks from the parking lot.
- How to reserve: Accessible Park & Camp is sold as a pass on the 2027 tickets page (available soon): Park + Camp $45, Parking only $45, Camping only free. Spaces are limited, a short verification form follows your purchase, and an accessible parking placard is required for the vehicle options. Questions: accessibility@futureforest.ca.
- On-Site Facilities: We provide an accessible portable toilet near Accessible Park & Camp and have trained medical staff on site to assist with any additional needs, including refrigeration storage for certain medications. Medical device batteries (such as a CPAP battery pack) can be recharged at the First Aid building once a day; email accessibility@futureforest.ca before the festival to arrange it. If you have any further health requirements that you feel our team should be aware of, please get in touch with us in advance to help ensure your experience is as seamless as possible.
Please Note:
- The festival is situated in a remote, wooded area, and while we strive to improve accessibility, there are some inherent challenges that we have yet to overcome:
- Due to its central and frequently visited location, Accessible Park & Camp may experience more noise pollution than other camping areas. It is advisable to plan your stay accordingly.
- The camping experience (in general) is considered backcountry style, which may not be suitable for all accessibility needs.
- The Nest Stage, located at the bottom of a steep hill, is not currently considered wheelchair accessible and may pose additional challenges for those with limited mobility.
- Weather conditions, such as extreme heat, humidity, and potential rain, can affect the accessibility of pathways and dance floors, including the Nest Stage.
- The roads/pathways are not paved.
We continually work to enhance accessibility and appreciate your understanding as we improve our facilities in future event editions.
We encourage you to contact our support team if you have any specific requirements for attending the festival. We will do our best to assist you as we plan for Future Forest 2027.

Are service dogs permitted?
Pets and other domesticated animals are not allowed on the festival site.
Service and Guide dogs* will be allowed on site; however, as there have been issues with illegitimate animals being named service dogs, our health department manager will assess each case. We will pay close attention to the health and well-being of any service/guide animal on site, and if there is any question of mistreatment or exposure that may cause harm, we will not hesitate to call the SPCA.
*Service or Guide Animals are medically prescribed. They require:
- Adequate medical documentation (does not have to include private information, such as diagnosis) or
- A legitimate certificate from a reliable source. Service vests do not count as adequate proof of status as a service animal. You'll need to provide documentation before entering the festival grounds. Without appropriate documentation, the animal, and hence their owner, will be refused entry.
Notes on Service & Guide Animals:
If those with service or guide animals decide to enter the festival, they do so at their, and their animal’s, own risk. They should be aware that there is potential for dehydration, excessive sound exposure, and other unforeseen dangers that may endanger the well-being of their animal. The service/guide animal is the responsibility of the individual to which the animal is prescribed ALONE. Hence, the service animal should always be tethered to that individual.
Failure to abide by these regulations will result in the individual and their animal being asked to leave the festival, and entry may be denied in the future. If there is any concern about mistreatment or harm, the SPCA will be called to investigate.
We have sought legal counsel regarding animals on the premises during the festival and consulted with the humane society, human rights organization, and Service Dogs of Canada.
Please note that the festival environment is unsafe for any domesticated animals. Unfortunately, the sound levels, extreme temperatures, and crowded areas do not allow us in good conscience to have animals on-site during festival hours. If you have a service or guide dog and would suffer undue hardship or be unable to attend without this tool, please email accessibility@futureforest.ca.
Parking and Reserved Sites
Do the Reserved Sites have utility hookups?
No, all Reserved Sites are unserviced. The festival site does not have septic, power, or water hookups. Reserved Site pass holders who wish to have an electrical hookup can bring their generator (which is only allowed in the Reserved camping area).
Why is there a parking fee?
Parking on the festival grounds is very limited. To conserve the natural environment, we only have enough parking to accommodate our capacity. We need to charge this fee to encourage carpooling, maximize space, and continually improve parking.
Is vehicle camping permitted?
Please note that unauthorized vehicles are prohibited in Backwoods camping.
For Health & Safety reasons, vehicle camping is also prohibited in Zone C Parking with the exception of well-ventilated camper vans or rooftop tents up to 20 ft in length.
Otherwise, if you wish to camp with your vehicle, you will need to purchase a Reserved Site pass.
Where should I park my camper van?
Participants with well-ventilated camper vans or vehicles with rooftop tents up to 20 ft in length (who do not have a Reserved Site pass) will have the option to camp in Zone C Parking, if desired (Zone C Parking Pass required, sold separately).

Can I reserve a specific campsite?
Backwoods Camping at Future Forest is first come, first serve, included with the ticket cost, and leans towards a more rustic, backwoods experience.
Please expect to scout out an area and clear some debris to set up your site. We recommend arriving during daylight hours and bringing smaller tents so that you can safely place them.
You may consider purchasing a Reserved Site to ensure adequate space if you have a huge tent. For more information on camping, please feel free to visit our Festival Survival Guide.
What if I have accessibility requirements?

Are camping stoves allowed at the event?
Small portable propane or butane camping stoves are permitted at campsites for cooking only. They must be attended at all times while in use, placed on a stable, non-flammable surface, and kept away from tents, dry vegetation, fuel and anything else flammable. Fuel canisters are not allowed, except the small propane or butane canisters used with your stove. Future Forest may further restrict or ban stoves at any time if fire conditions require it.
Are generators allowed in the camping area?
Generators are prohibited in Backwoods (GA) camping; however, they are permitted for use in the Reserved Site camping area.
Can I bring my car into the camping area to unload my gear?
No. For health and safety reasons, unauthorized vehicles are prohibited in Backwoods camping. An on-site shuttle helps carry gear for a fee, but not every campsite can be reached by it, so pack light and bring a wagon.
Can I stay and camp after the festival ends?
Due to cleanup and work being completed after the festival, camping is not permitted after the event. Everyone must be off site by Monday, August 9, 2027, at 8:00 PM.
Will food be available for purchase, or can I bring my own?
Yes, we will have various food options from our many food & beverage vendors located on-site.
Individuals who wish to bring their food or those with extreme dietary restrictions can also bring their food to the event.
Note that vendors are closed on Wednesday, August 4 (Wednesday Early Access day), so bring your own food for that day.
