Go directly to our Front Gate Tickets Page prior to 10 am (MDT) and be ready to purchase. Pre-authorize the purchase with your credit card company to avoid getting declined. Refresh the page at 10 am (MDT) to expose the available tickets once the on-sale time is triggered.
Act fast! Once you add your tickets to the cart, you will have 10 minutes to complete your purchase. To prevent yourself from running out of time, look at the ticket options ahead of the on-sale.
Tickets are not sold out until they explicitly say "sold out". If tickets are listed as "unavailable", it means they are all in shopping carts. Note that not all tickets in shopping carts become successful purchases. Due to credit card declines or time-out limits, tickets often become available after they've been carted. If a ticket is unavailable, try refreshing your browser to get a second chance to get the tickets in your shopping cart.
There is a strict ticket limit per household per day. Folks who exceed ticket limits may not be able to purchase or may have any or all of their orders and tickets cancelled without notice.

If you purchase from another source, you risk purchasing a counterfeit or invalid ticket.
