online in advance instead of waiting
until later? |

VIP Weekend Passes always sell out before the weekend even
starts. If you purchase in
advance, you will save a few bucks compared to the cost of
nightly admissions. And credit cards may be used for
online purchases ... On-premises purchases are cash-only.
