FAQs

Below are some frequently asked questions

What are the different types of tickets and pricing for the event?

The retail price for tickets is $50. Like most live events and festivals we offer a limited number of tickets at pre-sale prices. Our pre-sale prices start at $35 and increase to $40 and then $45 before we sell our $50 tickets. At this time we have no VIP options so all tickets purchased, regardless of the purchase price, are the same.

How do the sessions work? Can I come all day?

Our sessions work like a movie theater does. When you purchase a ticket you are selecting which timeframe you want to come. This event has 2 sessions - one beginning at 1PM and the other beginning at 6:00PM. Each session will last 3 hours. After the first session is over we'll clear the venue and prepare for the next session.

Are there age or ID requirements to enter the event? Can children accompany a parent?

All attendees must be over 21. Children will not be permitted in the event. You must provide a government-issued photo ID to enter the event.

Are there volunteer opportunities? What do you get for volunteering?

Yes, there are volunteer opportunities! You can find the sign-up page here. If you volunteer for the first session you'll get a free ticket for the second session at the end of your shift. Volunteers for the second session will receive two (2) tickets to a future event or we'll make a $25 donation to our charity - Athletes Without Limits.
