How to Experience Festival Season like a VIP

Pollen is your new festival essential—a free members-only community and events marketplace for getting you closer to the experience.

Pollen launches in the US, allowing members to earn rewards through selling festival tickets.

Pollen connects its Members with leading music, sports, dining and travel partners, and upgrades the experience with perks, bonuses and rewards unavailable anywhere else.

Just bring your friends along to your favorite events and earn points for selling them tickets or packages. The more you bring the more points you can earn, to use on rewards like VIP upgrades, backstage passes and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.

Your summer season starts with Pollen, with the country’s biggest festivals now live and ready for its Members to experience. From Electric Zoo, New York’s most celebrated electronic music festival, to some of the world’s biggest in Governor’s Ball, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza.

Each festival comes with its own perks and rewards for buying through Pollen, from exclusively-priced tickets, to drinks tickets and skip the line entry, all the way up to money-can’t-buy experiences like backstage passes and artist meet-and-greets. Here’s just a handful of the events on Pollen this summer, check out some of the rewards you can earn for being part of the community.
