What is the purpose of using Timed Entry?
To ensure a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for all, timed entry slots will be implemented to efficiently manage lines entering the Marketplace. Please arrive no earlier than 30 minutes before your assigned time. For instance, if your slot is at 11 a.m., you can start lining up at 10:30 a.m. This helps those with earlier times enter smoothly before the next group. Once checked in, ticket holders can stay until the Marketplace closes each day, reenter, and come and go as they please.

To give participants plenty of time to enjoy the experience and explore products from participating brands, we’ll make sure there are enough prizes for everyone. Upon check-in, each participant will receive a wristband that can be exchanged for a prize after completing the stamp rally. Every day will showcase a fresh lineup of participating vendors, offering unique prizes that change daily. These prizes will include exclusive, limited-edition merchandise created by collaborating artists, unavailable for purchase before or during the event.
