What are VIP tickets?

With VIP tickets, guests get early access to our event during vendor setup on Friday evening from 4pm-7pm. Generally, most of our vendors will be there setting up in the evening, which gives guests an opportunity to enjoy a more relaxed experience before the weekend crowd. VIP tickets include entry to our show all three days, including early admission on Saturday at 9am, before the event opens to general admission at 10am. VIP tickets can be purchased online through our site, Humanitix, and can also be purchased with cash, card, or ApplePay at the door.
