STANDBY Ticket Holders- Standby ticket distribution is done on a first come, first serve basis. Our ticket distribution begins at the time printed on your reservation letter. It is at your own discretion as to how early you would like to arrive to hold a place in line.  However, it is not within our control as to how early people arrive. Individuals may hold a spot in line for their party prior to the check-in time.  When ticketing begins, your ENTIRE PARTY must be present. Our ticket distribution area has limited seating and bringing chairs or blankets is prohibited. Tickets cannot be sold or transferred to another person.

Is there anything that I am NOT allowed to bring to the show?

You are not allowed to bring any CAMERAS, recording devices, sharp objects, knitting needles, mace, weapons, knives, and/or scissors.

If you attend under a different name and our staff or crew recognizes you as a repeat guest, you will be denied at the gate.
