The special offer starts today and is available only at the U.S. Cellular Center/Civic Center box office with valid ID at time of purchase, while supplies last. Residents may buy up to 2 passes/tickets at Tier 1 prices, despite the fact that Tier 1 pricing has ended.

$100 Tier 1 weekend passes are sold out for nonlocals. Tier 2 passes are $125, so that’s a $25 savings for locals–but only for those who haven’t gotten a Moogfest ticket yet. It’s not savings over the original price of $100, just a way to lock in the Tier One price for late buyers who live in WNC.

Single-day tix are also available for locals at $65, $10 less than the current price of $75.

You must have valid ID that shows you live in WNC.

Here’s the scoop in a new press release from Moogfest:
