Tips & Advice

  • Purchase tickets online in advance, especially the 'Fantasy 4 Pack', for potential savings and to avoid queues.
  • Plan your visit on a weekday if possible, as Saturdays can be very crowded, especially if there's a home UT Football game.
  • If you need to leave and return on the same day, be sure to get a hand stamp at the exit for re-entry.
  • The convention center concessions are cashless, so be prepared to pay with a card for food and drinks.
  • Consider attending the 'Gala Among the Trees' on November 25th for a special, separate ticketed evening event.
