Tips & Advice
- Arrive early, especially if you have General Admission tickets, as the event is expected to sell out and entry can take time.
- Review the costume policy carefully to ensure your attire is compliant, particularly regarding masks and face alterations for ID verification.
- Consider purchasing VIP or Ultra VIP tickets in advance for express entry, exclusive areas, and premium views, as these often sell out.
- Check the floor plan and booth reservation deadlines if you're interested in reserving a private seating area for your group.
- Bring cash for the premium cash bars and food trucks, as not all vendors may accept cards.
