Due to limited capacity, there are no DD tickets offered for the event. Please be responsible and coordinate a ride using a ride share service or friend/family member.

Can I trade up to a VIP Ticket within the event?
Unfortunately, no. We have limited supplies for the ticket tiers and don’t have the flexibility to add the necessary resources during the event. If you've purchased a GA ticket and wish to upgrade to VIP before the event, please reach out to TIXR customer support who may be able to assist. Purchasing an upgrade will be dependent on VIP ticket availability. 

Are samples free?
Once you have your ticket for admission and enter the venue, you will not be charged for any tequila tasting.

What brands will be attending?

You must be 21 years of age or older to enter this event and no exceptions to the rule will be made.

Strong Suggestions for a Safe and Enjoyable Time:

-Eat a hearty meal beforehand! There's nothing worse than being hungry, and while we'll have snacks on hand and food for purchase, we encourage you to eat before the event.

-Use the spit buckets. Seriously. You’re doing a tasting and should pace yourself! There’s no pressure to drink everything you’re trying. The brand representatives who will be present expect you to spit out their products after trying and won’t be offended if you do! It may seem silly or impolite, but it’s how the tequila world works. This is sage advice.

-Rinse out your glass between tastings! You don’t want a new tequila to taste like the last smokey mezcal you tried!

-Do not pre-game the event. Fight any social temptation you may have to do so. Your evening will be so much more enjoyable if you just wait for the event to start imbibing.

-There’s going to be a rush at the beginning of the event as people get in and spread throughout the venue. It may seem like you won’t have enough time to try everything you want, but we promise that you will. No need to rush, be pushy or drink quickly. You will have time to explore everything!

-Please coordinate a ride home from a ride share service or friend/family member.

Hard Rules (Break them and you’re out):
-No violence or aggressive behavior
-No firearms or weapons, regardless of personal permits
-No smoking in the venue
