Why two completely separate sessions on Saturday?Happily, demand has outstripped supply and, for the time being, this is the best way to provide access and an all-around better experience (shorter lines, more seating, etc.). So, we'll clear the building at 5pm and start over at 6pm with a whole new group of festival goers. Pick the session that works best for you! We anticipate selling out both Saturday sessions.   2. What do I do if tickets are sold out?Regrettably, tickets will not be available at the door once online tickets are sold out. If tickets are available online, they will also be available at the door   3. What do you get for admission? The cost of admission includes entry and entertainment. The admission price is used to cover the cost of event production.   4. Are dogs allowed? No. Pier 48 will not allow dogs.   5. Come early and buy your tickets online to avoid lines.   6.
