Quick reminder on how "tickets" work to ride rides at the Greenbelt Labor Day Festival this year. All riders need a wristband that will need to have credits loaded to ride the rides. Think of credits as tickets. But no more paper, or racing to an ATM for cash to stand in line at the ticket booth. It is all done electronically. Once you have a wristband, you can keep adding credits. Families can share credits as well.

The two popular options (available at a discount until midnight Thursday night) are a four hour unlimited ride wristband. You may use it any day and start any time, but once you start riding rides, you have four hours before the wristband expires.

The other item is an all-day wristband. Pick a day and you have sun up to sun down to ride to your heart's content.

Go online and check out the options. There is a small percentage fee and a fee for wristband, but this is a great value with the advance savings.

Once you have your online order. Show your QR code or other info and head to the ticket truck onsite. There will be LIVE humans there to help. You may also pay there with cash or credit card for a wristband. We suggest having small bills if paying with cash, as no change is dispensed, only ride credits.

We will post video on Friday about how this works, but it's no different than ordering items online, but this time you get a fun filled weekend! https://bit.ly/GLDFtickets
