Frequently Asked Questions

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. 

Please leave all pets and animals at home for their safety and the safety of others. Registered service animals are allowed at the show.

Most of our locations have ATMs on-site. Please check with the venue ahead of time if you are unsure. AARPE encourages each venue to ensure their ATMs are fully stocked and operational before our shows. However, since ATMs are managed by the venue staff, we cannot guarantee that they will be in service during the event.
