The Basics
- Cost: $250
- Your $250 deposit becomes an account credit to use at time of booking.
- Only one needed per package. Your roommate doesn't need to buy a separate prebook.
- You need a Bender Reservations Account to book your prebook. Login to your existing account or create a new one after clicking the "Purchase Prebook Now" button.
- At time of booking, you will be able to select from all available inventory and addons. This includes all rooming packages, 4-Day music only wristbands, baller & vip upgrades, drink wristbands, and extended stay nights (with purchase of rooming package).
- Do not purchase more than one prebook. Any additional prebook deposits will be applied to your account for use on your primary package purchase.
- This is not a ticket to the event! This is only a deposit that grants you the ability to purchase an event package at a later date
- Pre-book deposits can be purchased from now until the general announcement is made. The general announcement will state the initial lineup, available packages, and prices.
- Pre-books purchased between 09/06/25 and 09/13/25 will have first access to inventory, followed by prebooks purchased after 09/13/25

When and how do I use my Prebook?
- Some time in November, we will make a "General Announcement" indicating initial lineup, package, prices, and the on-sale date.
- Prior to the general on-sale, there will be a prebooking period of 2 days wherein purchasers of this prebook deposit will be allowed to book their packages.
- You will receive an email in conjunction with the general announcement detailing the online process by which you will redeem your prebook and book your package.
- If you do not book your package during the prebook time, you will still be able to apply your prebook deposit during the general on sale period.
- If the 2026 Big Blues Bender sells out before you apply your prebook deposit, your deposit will be held for use for a future Big Blues Bender general on sale.
- The general announcement date is not set.
