Everything You Need To Know

The much-awaited ApeFest 2022 by the Bored Ape Yacht Club is just around the corner! As one of the most hyped NFT festivals of this year, to say the BAYC community is excited would be an understatement. The event will kick off on June 20, before culminating on June 23. So let’s dive right in: What is ApeFest 2022 and how can you get tickets to the event?

What is ApeFest 2022?

ApeFest is an annual festival hosted by the Bored Ape Yacht Club team for Bored Ape and Mutant Ape holders. The first-ever ApeFest was held in October 2021 and was a roaring success. The event was complete with an immersive gallery experience, a costume contest, a mutant Halloween party, and even a yacht party—to name a few.

For ApeFest 2022, BAYC has partnered with TokenProof for ticketing and token-gating. In other words, those planning to attend the event will have to use the TokenProof app to verify their ownership and get tickets. 

This year, the fest coincides with another major NFT event—NFT.NYC. Given how hundreds of people lined up last year for access to various events of the festival, we can likely expect quite a crowd this year as well.

Furthermore, the fest will take place on Pier 17, an indoor/outdoor waterfront facility at 89 South Street, New York City. All attendees must be at least 18 years of age with valid identity proof. They will also have to adhere to COVID-19 health and safety regulations at the venue.

How to Get Tickets for ApeFest 2022

You can request tickets starting 9 am ET on June 8 till 9 pm ET on June 9 on a first come first serve basis. Everything from tickets to lunches and refreshments is free for Bored Ape and Mutant Ape holders. Those with a +1 ticket will be able to bring one guest to the event as well, for free. 

Here are the steps to request a ticket to ApeFest 2022:

• Download the TokenProof app from the App Store or Google Play.
• On www.tokenproof.xyz/enrollment, register using your wallet which holds your BAYC or MAYC NFT. You will have to sign a message for the site to verify that your wallet contains a Bored Ape or Mutant. Also, you don’t have to pay any gas fees.
• Finally, when the ticket window opens, you will be able to request tickets on the app or website.  

BAYC will share more details on the ticketing process this week. That said, remember that registering on the site does not guarantee that you will get your tickets for ApeFest 2022 as there will be a huge demand. 

Lastly, as BAYC warned, “As always, protect your apes and your wallets. Keep in mind this will be the only way to request tickets. Only use official links posted here or from the ApeFest site once it’s live.” 

In the coming days and weeks, we can expect BAYC to share more details on what is lined up for ApeFest 2022!
