There is paid street parking by Charlie's, Never Have I Ever, and Jackhammer. There are different rules in different areas of the city, so please read street signs and payment boxes carefully.

There isn't a resale option through Sickening Events like there is with other platforms (ie. Ticketmaster). However, you can resell your tickets on your own. You just need to send the ticket QR code(s) to the person buying your ticket(s) from you. If you are purchasing a resale ticket directly from someone else, please make sure you are purchasing it from a trusted source as a ticket QR code can only be used once and we do not want you to get scammed.
The Victory Party tickets are being sold through LiveNation/Ticketmaster while all other tickets for the weekend are being sold through Sickening Events, and there isn't an integration between the two platforms so they must be sold separately.

No, venues will not accept a picture of a ticket as entry to our parties. However, the Aragon box office will be able to use a photo of your physical ticket to reprint your ticket for entry, so we do recommend taking a photo of your ticket. If your ticket has already been scanned for entry to the event, they will not be able to reprint your ticket with the exception of a 2-day pass where you will need to scan the same paper ticket for entry to both events.
Please do everything in your power to not lose your ticket though. There is almost always a line at the box office, so protecting your ticket will be your quickest and easiest route to entry. We suggest you store it behind your cell phone case.
WE STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU DO NOT BUY TICKETS FROM AN UNAUTHORIZED THIRD PARTY VENDOR OR INDIVIDUAL. BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK. FAKE TICKETS HAPPEN EVERY YEAR. DO NOT GET RIPPED OFF.
