Volunteers work all over HyperFest to support the staff, fans, sponsors, and drivers to ensure that everyone at HyperFest has an unforgettable, exciting, fun, and safe time while attending the event. As a volunteer, you could be doing anything from helping set up the event, to keeping a watchful eye on various entry points, to helping spectators get around the event, or even simply putting on a smile and greeting everyone as they attend the event. It's all up to you and what your personal interests are!

All volunteers get free access to HyperFest and may enjoy the event whenever they're not working. You'll also receive your own t-shirt to show everyone that you’re a part of HyperFest, beverages to keep you hydrated, and behind the scenes access to the event. Camping passes for volunteers are limited and will be first come, first served based on the date you complete the form and are accepted as a volunteers. Most importantly, volunteers get the sense of being a huge part of something special, the experience of working at a major automotive festival, and playing a vital role in everyone's great time!

No, as a Volunteer we give you a General Admission Ticket for the weekend as a “thank you” for working your required shifts. We do not refund GA tickets if you buy them before you find out if you have been confirmed as a volunteer, so please do not buy with the intention of exchanging it for volunteer shifts. However, you are welcome to sell or transfer your GA ticket to another individual if you would like.

PRE-SHOW: Minimum work requirement of 12 hours divided up into two, 6-hour shifts. Must be able to be present on site Thursday and Friday of the event. All PRE-SHOW volunteers will be done with their work requirements by mid-day Friday of the event. You are free to enjoy HyperFest at the conclusion of your Friday work shift.

NOTE: PRE-SHOW is extremely limited in the number of positions available, and often includes physical labor such as signage hanging, relocating and unpacking boxes, standing for long periods of time to help with traffic flow and directing individuals to their designated area(s).

DURING SHOW: Minimum work requirement of 12 hours spread into two, 6-hour shifts. Must be able to be present on site Friday and Saturday of the event. You are free to enjoy HyperFest any time outside of your 6-hour work shifts.

Volunteer confirmation begins in March. You will receive an email from volunteer@hyper-fest.com with more details about the position(s) we would like to place you within. Please respond within 72 hours (3 days) to confirm your spot on the team.

Should you not be chosen to volunteer, we will give you a discount code to purchase a 3Day Ticket as a thank you for your interest.

Volunteer schedules will be released at least two (2) weeks prior to the event week. This will allow you to know when you're supposed to be working and give you an idea of what your free time at HyperFest will look like.

We always aim to confirm our Volunteers as soon as possible!

All volunteers are expected to check-in 30 minutes prior to their shift start, be on-time to their shift location, act professional and wear appropriate clothing for your shift.

Always wear your HyperFest staff shirt when you're working and be sure to wear something else when you're not (so you won't get asked a bunch of questions from attendees and can enjoy your time off). We also request that you do not wear open toed shoes or sandals during your Volunteer shifts.

Think about the type of work that you're going to be doing when deciding what to wear. Will it be possible in a dress? A toga? Lederhosen? Showing up in inappropriate clothing or without proper shoes could result in forfeiture of your shift and revocation of credentials and access to HyperFest.

Be sure to bring sunscreen, a water bottle, and a snack. Please note, we may not have anywhere for you to store your stuff and some jobs may not allow you to have a backpack of any kind while you are working, we will provide ample information so that you can plan accordingly.

Be sure to stay at your assigned location and task until you are either taken to another work place or have been dismissed by a staff member. That's the only way you can be sure that your shift gets noted as completed.

Meal passes can be used at any of the vendors at HyperFest and will be given out daily.

If you have any questions, please email volunteer@hyper-fest.com.

Unfortunately, no. Although we appreciate the gesture, all of our volunteers must commit to working at least 12 hours to make scheduling all the shifts and people possible.

Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age.

It is very likely that you will be accepted the earlier your application is submitted. We will check in with you multiple times before the event to make sure you’re still committed to Volunteer and also assign to you position(s) for during the HyperFest weekend.

We will try our best to assign you with your friends, however it may not be possible all of the time. The more flexible you all are with your schedule, the more likely we will be able to get you on the same shifts. It also helps if you submit your applications at the same time, as some positions fill faster than others and we may not have enough room for all of you if one person gets approved weeks before the other(s).

Absolutely! We have a variety of volunteer positions to suit every interest and ability. After you submit your application, please email us at info@hyper-fest.com so that we can set up a call with you discuss the positions that best suit your abilities and interests. Likewise, if you receive you assignment or if you arrive on site and do not feel comfortable with the position(s) assigned to you, please let our Volunteer Coordinator know so that we can reassign you to a position that is better suited.

Volunteers are welcome to participate in any activity they are eligible for provided it is not during their scheduled shift. Volunteers must register and/or purchase activities or ride-alongs as though they are a general attendee through the HyperFest ticketing platform.
