Key Tips
- Ensure you know what type of ticket you want (Park Pass, Grandstand, Hospitality) and what type of pass (4-Day, 3-Day, 2-Day, Sunday, Saturday, Friday, Thursday) before the day. Have a backup plan should your preferred ticket option not be available.
- Make sure you've logged into your Ticketmaster account (and know your login details!) before trying to purchase tickets.
- Confirm that you have a valid form of payment in your account along with current email and billing information.
- Be sure to join Ticketmaster's Waiting Room at least 15 - 30 minutes before tickets go on sale (more information below).
- Watching your screen. If you’re planning to use your mobile device, don’t allow your screen to dim or your Waiting Room will pause. And, resist the urge to refresh, your page will automatically refresh when you enter the queue.
- Turn up the volume on your device, so when it’s your turn, you hear the queue notification bell sound - even if you need to step away.
"Tickets never seem to be available"
There will be times when you try to search or select tickets only to be told that they are no longer available.
As is the case with major events, there are often many thousands of people looking to secure tickets, and often people look to try and find ones in the same area. We aim to provide some advice as to common trends we see with our event.
- Once you are in the Smart Queue or in the process of selecting or purchasing tickets, do not refresh your browser, as you won't be able to get back.
- Our Ticket Search page automatically updates with Ticketmaster inventory and will be your best way to get a snapshot of what is available, what is running out of availability, and what is out of stock.
- When our products sell out, we have historically found that they sell out in the following order (keep this in mind when deciding which type of pass you are after and know that some are more popular than others):
- 2-Day (Sat-Sun) Pass
- Sunday Single-Day Pass
- 4-Day (Thu-Sun) Pass
- Saturday Single-Day Pass
- Friday Single-Day Pass
Ticketmaster’s Smart Queue
We suggest entering the Waiting Room 15-30 minutes prior to the start of the On sale.
We expect that tickets will be in high demand, and to make the process fair for everyone you may be placed in a queue. Simply select your preferred Grandstand and Ticket Type (4-Day, 2-Day or Single Day) and you’ll be placed into the relevant queue during the On sale.
You will be assigned a random place in the queue once the On sale starts. Your place in the queue is not based on what time you entered the Waiting Room.
Once you get your spot in the queue, please do not refresh your browser as you will be pushed to the end of the line.
Ticketmaster will get you through the queue as quickly as possible, so please sit tight. Keep an eye out for live updates throughout the On sale regarding ticket availability and key information to ensure you’ve got the best chance to land tickets to this high demand event.
