    Participant Form

  • Welcome to the 2025 Lightning in a Bottle application for the Lightning Team program. Please read the following information carefully and fill out the fields below to the best of your ability.

    If you were referred by a department manager, please list their name on the third page of the application.

    The first step is to complete this form in it's entirety. You will then be provided a link in your confirmation email to add yourself to the TIXR waitlist. You will need to provide contact info and credit card info at this point. You will not be charged until your application is accepted but TIXR will run an authorization when you place yourself on the waitlist.

    NO APPLICATION WILL BE CONSIDERED WITHOUT BOTH THIS FORM BEING COMPLETED AND YOU ADDING YOURSELF TO THE WAITLIST. 

    If you are accepted to the Lightning Team, you will receive an acceptance letter. At this time your credit card will be charged (including Tixr fees). Upon fulfillment of the contract and validation of that fulfillment, you will receive compensation in the form of a refund to the credit card used to purchase the ticket. Refunds generally can be  expected within 15 business days from the day the festival closes. You will not receive an acceptance letter until February and possibly as late as March. This is the normal time frame so please wait until that time to reach out if you have not heard back.

    PLEASE ONLY APPLY IF YOU ARE ABLE TO PURCHASE AN UPFRONT FESTIVAL PASS AND ARE ABLE TO WORK THE DATES YOU HAVE LISTED ON YOUR APPLICATION.

    If you are accepted and need to cancel, you have until FRIDAY, APRIL 18th to do so in order to be refunded if you have already purchased your festival pass.

    After you have been accepted, you will be sent a link to choose your Lightning Team shifts online. Shifts are first come, first serve.

    The Lightning Team application is intended to evaluate suitability for the program. It is the policy of Do LaB to provide equal opportunity to all qualified persons; we encourage all people to apply including but not limited to; people of color, Women, LGBTQ+, people of all races, national origin, people of all generations, people with disabilities, veterans, people of diverse life experiences, people of all gender identities and ethnicities, without discrimination on the basis of sex, race, color, and religion as well as any other status protected under state and federal law.

    You cannot arrive earlier than the night before you are scheduled to work for pre-event, nor work longer than the required days without permission from the Lightning Team Manager. You can only work on the days you are scheduled to work.

    Although we appreciate your participation, ambition, and eagerness to get started or stay longer than what has been permitted, failure to follow the guidelines set forth may result in the immediate termination of your Lightning Team agreement and/or consideration of any future partnership.
