VIP Pit Pass
This year, the VIP Pit Pass is bigger, better and more BBQ-y than ever! VIP tickets will allow for 2.5hrs of all you can eat BBQ and private bathrooms. This all-inclusive experience gets you in the pits with the Legends, where you can watch them work their meaty magic while they feed you their world-famous Q. Additionally, you can enjoy complimentary cocktails crafted from recipes that the pitmasters themselves created, as well as beer and soft drinks.
