Ticket Policies
Everyone age 13 and over will be required to present a ticket or pay the appropriate admission fee before they can enter the grounds. You must have the correct ticket for the day in your possession. Advance single day tickets are good for any day, but are intended for use on Friday and Saturday when gate prices are higher. Single day gate prices on Thursday and Sunday are lower. No camping is allowed with single day tickets.

Unimproved camping for Thursday through Saturday nights is included with multiple day ticket packages and is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. The day of your arrival, not the length of your stay, determines which ticket you need. If you arrive on Thursday you need a Th-Su ticket package, on Friday a Fr-Su ticket package, and on Saturday a Sa-Su ticket package. Teen tickets (age 13-19) are $10 both in advance or at the gate and are good for any day or for the entire weekend including camping.
