Blue Monkey Helper Ticket

Description

Blue Monkey Festival Helper Tickets are for people who chose to commit a part of their time and energy to work at the festival. It involves a work exchange and includes some responsibilities. Please only apply as a helper if you can commit to this. Before purchasing your helper ticket please send us a helper application including your availability and skills/preferences!

Application is now open: info@thebluemonkey.club

IMPORTANT: We only accept people we already know or who have a recommendation from people we know and/or have worked with already. Helpers agree to work about 16 hours as an energy exchange. There will be different teams with different tasks and responsibilities. We will try to respect your preferences regarding the team/tasks but cannot guarantee that everybody gets their preferred team and dream shifts so please only apply if you are generally open also to do something else if necessary. Helper tickets are limited and the early bird catches the worm (=preferred team) so the sooner we receive your application the higher the chances you get a spot in your favorite team.
