Tickets or Railbird Festival are available in presale beginning Thursday, December 8. Fans interested can sign up for a code at the event website – railbirdfest.com/tickets. 2-day General Admission tickets start at $155 plus fees, with GA+ ($275+fees), VIP (575+fees) and Platinum ($1,300+fees) options. There are also one-day pass options available, with every pass price point rising as they sell through tiers.

Railbird is entering its fifth year of operation, having debuted in 2019 and returned after missing 2020 due to the pandemic. Previous headliners have included My Morning Jacket, Dave Matthews Band, Leon Bridges, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, and others.

Just after being announced as a headliner, Zach Bryan took a shot at Ticketmaster on social media, tweeting “every single one of my homies hate Ticketmaster” on Tuesday evening, just as the company was informing fans of their status as being “verified” or not for Morgan Wallen’s tour. The ding was a repeat of a similar thread from November, posted around the time of the Taylor Swift ticket sales debacle, reportedly stirred up by his own girlfriend’s troubles during that process. He also said that he’d be making an announcement about how he’s selling tickets in the future in that time frame.

announcements to how we sell tickets to the few shows next year coming soon

thank you for your continued and valiant support of the #allmyhomieshateticketmaster movement

It should be noted that Railbird is a festival run through Live Nation – the corporate parent of Ticketmaster. Its ticketing will likely be run through Ticketmaster, Frontgate, or Live Nation’s own ticketing platforms.
