Future Zouk Chicago Congress 2021

BREAKING UPDATE 9 AUGUST 2021: Beach after party cancelled due to 86% chance of thunderstorms plus tornado watch according to current weather forecast! Locals, we are rescheduling a free beach party for you next week; stay tuned! People visiting from out of town, we are emailing you a unique discount code that will apply to the Early Bird Full Pass lot (i.e. the one right after Believer Pass currently on sale and 40% sold out in less than 12 hrs) to make up for the loss of your beach after party this year. This will ALMOST be as good as the savings of that super price-beneficial Believer Pass lot, and the email with special code will be sent to the address you used to register for Future Zouk Chicago Congress 2021. More info on Future Zouk Chicago Congress 2022 here with tickets selling at roughly 1 per 20 min, i.e. 70+ per day: https://bit.ly/FutureZoukChicago2022

On this note as a general rule, we are requiring that all participants show proof of full vaccination in order to participate in this year's event at this time, including all production staff, all artists, and all attenders.

IMPORTANT NOTE: All sales are final and, except for the special case of the Believer Pass ticket type, nonrefundable. Nevertheless, tickets are transferrable! In general, individuals transferring a ticket forward to themselves for 2022 can do so free of charge while people who want to transfer a ticket to another individual for 2021 incur a $30 transfer fee. This is to discourage people from stockpiling and upselling tickets as well as to prevent unaffiliated parties from trying to sell fake tickets to the detriment of the event production and attenders. Contact Just Jacob if you need help with this!
