​

Volunteering is a way to make the BOTMC your own festival, and you'll get in free to one of the concerts at the Freight & Salvage.

Here's how it works:

• If you volunteer for one of the paid events, you get into that event free.

• If you volunteer at a free event, or volunteer for a job that takes place before the festival, you get free admission to either the Thurs. or Fri. night concert at the Freight.

• If you volunteer to do something at one of the dances that has you sitting by the door (vs. dancing), you will get in to one of the Freight concerts in addition to the dance where you're volunteering.

• If you do two volunteer jobs, you can get in free to both Freight concerts.
