How to go and what to know

Its a monster truck event so it will be loud and hearing protection is encouraged. 

A pre-show Pit Party includes a chance to meet the drivers, get autographs, take photos and get up close to the monster trucks. The Pit Party starts 30 minutes after gates open and runs for a full hour. VIP ticket holders have free access to attend Pit Party. General admission customers can buy Pit Party Passes in advance online or at the merchandise stand for $5 cash. The Pit Party does not include truck rides which is a separate experience. 

After the show, drivers will arrive at the autograph table for free autographs. 

Advance general admission tickets cost $20 for adults and $10 for children ages 3-12. See the Monster Truck Wars website for VIP ticket options.
