Answers to frequently asked questions : by Eric Nyberg, Festival Organizer

Where is the festival going to be held this year and when?

The 12th Anniversary of the UnTapped Blues Festival will be on May 10th, 2008 at the Benton County Fairgrounds.
Is the music indoor or outdoor?
The music stage will be held outside. Also similar to the past, the beer/wine tasting and some of the food will be located indoor.
Where do we park, and is there a fee?
The main parking lot at the Fairgrounds is open and parking is free.
What transportation is there to or from festival?
While we do not have a bus service scheduled, Tri-City Taxi is available (509) 547-7777 or 783-1234 and Rad Cab can be reached at 585-2944.
Is there any seating in the music area? Beer/Wine area?
There is limited seating available in the music area. There will be tables and chairs in the tasting Pavilion.
What are we allowed to bring into the festival area?
As in the past, you are welcome to bring lawn chairs, blankets and other personal items. Coolers, pets, and minors are NOT permitted.
Can we "re-enter" if we have to leave the event?
Yes, on a case-by-case basis. If you have to leave the event and want to return later in the day, yes. If you are leaving to go to your car for some reason several times throughout the day that will not be allowed.
Are minors, even babies, allowed into the festival?
No minors, including babies, are allowed into the event.
Why did the ticket prices go up this year?
Ticket prices for Untapped have remained the same for the last "7" years. Due to added, expensive requirements and everything increasing in price it has been necessary to make this increase. These prices are well in-line with the other Northwest music events.
What is included in the ticket price?

The ticket fee includes entry to the event (including 7 bands) and a commemorative tasting glass (to the first 3,000 entrants). Food and non-alcohol drinks are sold by "cash" this year. All alcohol drinks are sold using "scrip tickets" that you purchase inside the event.
When will I receive my tickets?

Tickets are mailed as orders are received (received by phone, on-line or by mail) beginning April 10th.
