Ticket Information
Because of long lineups in past years, this year tickets will be available online in advance. Tickets will be $7* for the evening and will NOT be refundable. They can be transferred only.
Tickets will be sold in timed entry blocks. If a block sells out, no more tickets will be available for that entry time. Any block that sells out will NOT be available at the door. Information will be posted if a particular block is running low or has been sold out.
Entry times will be 6 PM, 7 PM, and 8:30 PM. There will be seperate lines for each entry time. While you can come later than your entry time you cannot come earlier. This is to better spread out people's arrival times and reduce lineups.
People who come at 6 or 7 PM are NOT required to leave before the event ends, you can stay all night if you wish.
