FAQ

How did you come up with a name like Toadlick?

We suspect we’re going to hear this question a lot, so we’re going to tackle this one right out of the box. One evening many moons ago, the organizers of the music festival were sitting around trying to come up with the perfect name. We wanted it to be memorable, unique, and fun. All kinds of names were popping up when one young lady hollered “Toadlick”. Talk about silencing the room, that did! We all sat there and pondered it for a while and realized she had indeed stumbled across the perfect name. We all loved it! So here we are and now you know.

Incidentally, later research revealed that some people have actually licked toads for some unfathomable reason. This trend was featured on the hit TV show 1000 Ways to Die. Why? Because someone licked the wrong toad and did indeed pass away. We implore you – do not lick a toad. Ever.

Are you really giving away a 2011 Corvette?

We sure are and it’s a beauty! The Toadlick Corvette is a Supercharged Grand Sport as pictured on our Home Page. You can read all the ”fine print” by visiting our Giveaway Rules page. The drawing for the Corvette will be held on Saturday, March the 24th, 2012, the final night of the Toadlick Music Festival. To each and every one of you who enter, we wish you the best of luck!

What is a TIP ticket?

TIP is Toadlick’s version of VIP’s – Toadally Important People. Our TIP Room (that’s actually a huge building) is reserved for those who purchase TIP tickets. We’re talking Southern Hospitality at its finest. A never-ending buffet of delectible hor dourves will provide our TIP’s with scrumptious fare – all on the house! The TIP Room will also contain a cash bar for our patrons. Goodie bags, Toadlick attire, and other treats await you. If you want to experience Toadlick with all the amenities, become a TIP!

Once I have a wristband, what can I do?

The first time you enter the Fairgrounds, you will surrender your printed, bar coded ticket for a wristband. If you have a one-day ticket, you will be given a one-day wrist band corresponding to the one day (Thursday, Friday, or Saturday) you are ticketed to enter the Fairgrounds. The wristband will be good for that day only. If you purchased a three -day ticket, you will receive a three-day wristband.

Do not attempt to remove the wristband as they must be worn during the duration of your visit to Toadlick.
With a wristband, you will be allowed re-enty into the Fairgrounds.
Wristbands are non-transferable, non-exchangeable, and cannot be replaced.
Please do not tamper, remove, or stretch your wristband in any way or you will not be allowed re-entry (this would make us toadally unhappy).
