What is the A-Team?
The A-Team is what we call our awesome volunteers!
What does the A-Team do?
The A-team works before, during, and/or after the festival to support the staff and attendees and to ensure that everyone has an incredible, fun, and safe experience at Alive. As a member of the A-Team, you could be doing anything from selling band merch, to keeping an eye on various entry points, to greeting everyone as they come and go throughout the park. It’s all up to you and what your personal interests are!
What do I get if I join the A-Team?
All A-Team members will receive admission to Alive—so you can enjoy the festival whenever you’re not working—and a free Tent Campsite in the Orange Tent Camping area if you plan to camp. You’ll also get the official A-Team t-shirt, and free showers. Most importantly, you’ll get the sense of being a part of something special—the experience of working at a major music festival, and playing a huge part in everyone’s experience! Not to mention, you’ll make memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.
