Howdy campers!
Some big news for today, including an Update to the Constellation COVID-19 Policy and Lightning Round ticket announcement!
The update to the COVID-19 Policy is in regards to newly-released bivalent booster.
CDC guidance changed this week, therefore all attendees who are eligible for the updated bivalent booster will be required to get said booster before they are admitted to the event.
At this time, we do not anticipate issues with availability of the updated bivalent booster, but please try to do this sooner rather than later to avoid any complications leading up to the event.
In other news, registration for the Lightning Round of tickets + car passes opens today. Similar to the Main Sale, attendees will need to pre-register in order to be able to purchase a ticket.
Available tickets will be raffled to those who register in the Lightning Round, same as the Main Sale.
We do ask that only those who need to purchase tickets and/or a car pass for themselves register, so that we can get an accurate idea of demand and not dilute the lottery pool.
Don't forget to scroll down and check out the changes to Gate Hours! It's a long drive, so plan ahead and don't miss the gate closure at 4pm Saturday.
Thanks!
Love,
Em and Toaster
Constellation Event Producers

COVID POLICY UPDATE
COVID POLICY UPDATE
COVID POLICY UPDATE
NEW: BIVALENT BOOSTER
REQUIRED IF ELIGIBLE
TL;DR - Attendees who are eligible to receive the updated Bivalent booster must receive said booster in order to attend.
*****
You are eligible for a Bivalent booster dose if you are:
12+ and it has been:
2 months since your last dose of Pfizer or Moderna
(second dose, third dose, or booster dose)
or
2 months since your initial dose of Johnson & Johnson.
= Bivalent Booster Required
You are eligible for a monovalent (original) booster dose if you are:
5-11 years of age and it has been:
5 months after your last dose of Pfizer or Moderna (second dose or third dose if immunocompromised)
= Monovalent (original) booster required
*****
According to the CDC, you are considered “up-to-date” immediately after you have received the most recent booster recommended for you, so you are able to get the updated bivalent booster any time prior to admission to the event.
However, we HIGHLY encourage everyone to schedule their boosters ASAP in order to reduce any potential complications leading up to the event.
