I understand and agree that submitting this application form does not automatically register me as a Telluride Blues & Brews Festival Volunteer. By submitting this form, I attest that the information I have provided on the form is true and accurate.

If I am accepted as a volunteer, I agree to the following:
-To satisfactorily complete my scheduled shifts.
-To arrive on time to my scheduled shifts.
-To NOT be under the influence of alcohol or drugs during my shifts.
-To NOT bring any pets with me to my shifts (yes, this means no dogs too).
-To be an ambassador of good will for the festival and to treat festival patrons with respect and courtesy.

I Understand that a one-time non-refundable fee of $25 must be paid before applicants are accepted to join the Blues Volunteer Team.

I understand if I fail to meet any of the above requirements, I will be charged the full amount for a 3-day festival ticket in the amount of $327.49.

If I am accepted as a volunteer and assigned shifts, I agree to notify the volunteer coordinator by no later than August 15, 2025 if I find I am unable to participate.  If you confirm your volunteer shifts and cancel after the deadline, you will be charged a courtesy fee of $75. This fee is commensurate with the time and labor costs associated with scheduling and confirming your assigned shifts. I understand that the festival may charge a courtesy fee of $75 if the volunteer schedule is not canceled before August 15, 2025.

I understand that camping and lodging are not provided to volunteers. Camping passes may be purchased separately at tellurideblues.com/tickets
