Ticket Information
Now, let’s talk tickets! Admission for adults is reasonably priced at $10 if you buy in advance. However, if you decide to wait until the day of the event, be prepared to shell out $20. Just a friendly reminder: these ticket prices only cover your entry, so you’ll need to bring a little extra cash to grab all the delicious food your heart desires from the various food trucks and concession stands.
Feeling a bit fancy? There are some exciting VIP options available! The VIP Package, for just $45 in pre-sale (and $60 on the day), includes a stylish t-shirt, two drink vouchers, and a general admission ticket. If you want to take your experience to the next level, check out the Ultimate VIP Package. For $85 pre-sale (or $115 day of), you’ll score a t-shirt, three beverage vouchers, a general admission ticket, plus access to the Club Level where a build-your-own mac and cheese bar awaits! Talk about living the high life!
Just a heads up though—these VIP packages tend to fly off the shelves, as seen during past events at Segra Park, where tickets for things like the Tacos and Margarita Festival sold out quick! So don’t hesitate if you want to add a bit of VIP flair to your festival experience.
