CaveFest Ticket Giveaway Official Rules

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Void where prohibited.

The What Podcast is giving away two (2) tickets to CaveFest 2026! By entering, each participant agrees to these Official Rules.

Entry Period

Entries must be submitted between September 1st and September 19th. Entries submitted after the deadline will not be counted.

How to Enter

To enter, on any of the following platforms — YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok:

1. Like the giveaway video/post
2. Subscribe to / follow The What Podcast
3. Leave a comment answering the prompt — e.g. “tell us who you want to see or who you’d bring to CaveFest”

Tagging a friend in your comment is welcome but is not required to enter. You may enter on as many of the three platforms as you like — each platform is a separate chance to win. One (1) winner total will be selected at random from all valid entries pooled across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Limit one entry per person, per platform.

Prize

Two (2) tickets to CaveFest at The Caverns in Pelham, Tennessee, on October 10–11, 2026, including camping. The prize is for tickets and camping only and does not include travel, transportation, food, or any other expenses. The prize is non-transferable, has no cash value, and cannot be exchanged for cash or any other substitution. Tickets provided courtesy of The Caverns.

Eligibility

This giveaway is open to legal U.S. residents 18 years of age or older at the time of entry. Entrants aged 13–17 may enter only with the permission of a parent or legal guardian who is a U.S. resident 18 or older. The winner must be able to travel to and attend CaveFest at The Caverns in Pelham, Tennessee on October 10–11, 2026.

Winner Selection

After the entry period closes, one (1) winner will be selected at random from all eligible entries pooled across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.

Winner Notification & Claiming the Prize

The winner will be contacted on the platform they entered:
