Tickets & Wristbands

This isn’t likely but it can happen. Like every year, our tickets are on a pricing tier. Once one tier sells out, the system automatically jumps up to the next tier of available tickets. When people add tickets to their carts, it reserves the ticket in that tier and takes those tickets out of the available ticket pool for purchase. However, when the cart is cleared or if they decide not to buy, the tickets at that price point become available again for someone to purchase.
