Tickets for the 2013 Hopscotch Music Festival go on sale Friday, Feb. 1, at 10 a.m.

For the first time, Hopscotch Music Festival is offering early bird pricing for its 3-day wristbands. The change was announced Thursday along with the price tiers for the festival that takes over downtown Raleigh Sept. 5-7.

Prices will also already include taxes and fees. The price you see is the price you pay.

The first early bird sale will start on Feb. 1 at 10 a.m. when tickets go on sale for the festival. Here's a breakdown from the Hopscotch website:

EARLY BIRD SALE NO. 1: On Feb. 1 at 10 a.m. a limited number of 3-Day wristbands will be available for $95. The price is $25 less than last year.

EARLY BIRD SALE NO. 2: At 10 a.m. on the day after the $95 wristbands are gone, Hopscotch will release a larger quantity of 3-Day wristbands for $105.

GENERAL SALE: When the $105 wristbands are gone, Hopscotch will start selling the 3-Day wristbands for $125.

VIP wristbands, which are $180 each, will also go on sale Feb. 1. These get you priority access at all club shows and entrance to the opening night party

One-day wristbands and single tickets to the Raleigh City Plaza shows go on sale in late June to coincide with the release of the festival's official schedule. One-day wristbands will be $65 for Thursday, Sept. 5, and $85 for Friday and Saturday, Sept. 6-7. Tickets will get you into all shows on that particular day. City Plaza tickets will be $40 each.
