GET YOUR TICKETS READY
To help you get through our turnstiles with ease, here are a few handy tips regarding ticket preparation. If using a mobile ticket please have the bar code visible and ready for scanning, screen turned up bright, no cracked screens, and hold your phone steady under the scanner. If you have a group of tickets, please share each ticket to the individuals within your group, if at all possible, as we experience significant holdups with groups having all their tickets on one phone.
