About this event

  • 11 hours 15 minutes

The Saturday Youth Day Pass provides teens ages 19 and under access to the following:

  • Workshops, open mics, and all other non-competitive activities taking place on Saturday
  • The preliminary Team Slam rounds (as an audience member)
  • While this pass secures general teen event access, individual events are FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE. Upon acquiring this pass, you (an individual age 19 and under) become eligible to attend any teen event, but you are not guaranteed access to events with a limited capacity (such as workshops).

This pass does NOT authorize participation in the Team Slam, nor does it provide audience access to the Team Slam Finals. Teens must be a member of a previously-registered Slam Team to compete in the Team Slam (for details on Team Slam Registration, visit our Team Slam Page - link). For audience access to the Team Slam Finals, all attendees (of all ages) must acquire a SEPARATE Team Slam Finals Pass.
