Is Beatles Fest all-ages?

Yes. And the best part is children 10 and under get in free with a ticket-holding adult.

Can I purchase tickets at the main gate?

Yes, although for a number of reasons we highly recommend getting them in advance. Availability is one example – Many ticket types sell out before the fest, so we definitely recommend getting them in advance while they’re still available.

Will I have a place to sit at Beatles Fest?

A limited number of picnic tables in the General Admission area and a limited number of chairs in the VIP General Admission area are provided, but those are first-come, first-served, so it is recommended that you bring a lawn chair along with.

If I have to leave Beatles Fest will I be able to re-enter?
