The organizers said, "We will continue following CDC protocols. This means social distancing, wearing masks and hand sanitation stations throughout the venue.”

VIP passes have already been sold out, but there are options of weekend passes and day passes ranging from $10-$40. Each pass/ticket will have different times. Tickets can be purchased through the website.

“In order to maintain capacity, we will be capping attendance for each day," organizers said. "Once a day sells out, it is officially sold out. This does not affect those who have pre-purchased single day, weekend passes, or VIP tickets.”

The jam-packed event includes different photo-ops that vary from day and time with different celebrities. The photo-ops need to be purchased beforehand and participants need to present an email with a full name at the sales and redemptions table at the show for physical tickets. Complimentary digital photos will be uploaded to social media and given at the event.
