Does the VIP price include the tequila expo on Saturday?

Hi, I would like to enter my chihuahua into the Chihuahua Beauty Pageant. How do I go about doing that?

On he VIP ticket is the food included in the price of the ticket?

It would be convenient if we could actually buy tickets for food & drinks AHEAD of time to avoid the long, annoying lines. Seriously… Please look into making that happen.

@ Sara: We will eventually use a card system that will allow for this, but with tickets, it’s not possible to sell food & drink credit ahead of time. We are more than doubling the amount of ticket booths this year and staffing them up with the fastest-moving people you’ve ever seen. Seriously, they’re fast. Thx for the suggestion!

@ Tracy: Unlimited food from VIP Tent sponsors: Fuzzy’s Tacos, the Grilled Cheese Truck, and SNOH Ice Shavery!

@ Karissa: Sweet! Entry form here: http://aztacofestival.com/forms/2013_Chihuahua_entryForm.pdf Let us know if you have any trouble. Good luck!

@ Karla: No, it does not. We recommend the pre-sale VIP of $85 if you plan on combining it with a Tequila Expo tic. Salud!

What time does the Lucha libre wrestling start and finish on Sunday?

Just to clarify…the VIP package includes 6 drinks and unlimited food at the three vendors already listed…but to sample the tacos you still have to pay $2 each. Correct?

When does the lucha. Libre wrestling start and end on Sunday?

@Roy Both days have the same schedule: it will start at about 11:30-11:45am, and go periodically all day until sundown (about 6-6:30). Each shows last about 30 minutes and then they go for 15-minute breaks. They will be located under the Sandbar tent. You won’t miss a show if you’re at the festival more than an hour.

@Anonymous That’s correct.

VIP isn’t so VIP since you’re limited to food and still have to pay separate for tequila expo. Is $85 for premium potties worth it…no! Make VIP worth what you pay or decrease the price. So lame.

Is it cash only for the $2 tacos or can you pay with a credit card?

How do you enter the pepper eating contest?

When it is the Chihuahua pagent on Sunday?

Just curious. is the VIP section completely separate from the regular ticket holders? I was thinking about getting a VIP ticket but all of my friends have regular tickets. Will I still be able to hang with them (when I’m not using the fancy port-o-johns)?

does the VIP include both days or only one?

@Anonymous – VIP includes one day

@calcullush The VIP area is separate, but just steps away from the main area – you can most certainly hang with your friends out there and then pop into VIP to grab a drink and, as u say, use the fancy johns – haha

@Michelle 2pm on the Yelp Contest Stage: http://aztacofestival.com/yelp-contest-stage/

@Amanda – Head to the Yelp Contest Stage immediately upon your arrival to the fest and put your name on the list to be called at Check-In Time. Earlier you’re there, the better guaranteed for a spot you’ll be. Schedule here: http://aztacofestival.com/yelp-contest-stage/

@Dave Taylor – You purchase $2 tokens with cash, and then use those. This keeps lines moving faster because the taco vendors are not handling cash.

I just want to clarify…You need to buy the General Admission to get into the Festival, plus an additional $20 to get into the Tequila Expo, correct? Also if only one person is partaking in the Tequila Expo, will the other be allowed in or is it a restricted area?

Will you have any areas with seating & tables and can we bring our own chairs/umbrellas? How about a map of the overall event?

How do you enter the Bizarre Taco Eating contest on Sunday? And is there an age requirement? My son is 16 and wants to enter! Thanks!!

I have vip tickets and was wondering if children over the age of 12 could use them as well. Also with the 6 drink tickets does that include beer and wine? Thank you

If you are coming with a child under 12, do you need to buy a VIP ticket for yourself and the child or is he still free?

And, how much are the drinks?

Where do I pick up tickets bought through Social Living?

Is there anything for kids?

If I already purchased a tequila expo ticket do I have to buy a general admission ticket also?

If I purchase a VIP ticket, does my 11 year old need one too or would she be free there as well?

I bought the Living Social deal for 2 tickets which, according the deal, I will be able to pick up at will call. If one of these tickets is for someone arriving later than myself will I be able to leave the festival to give him his ticket & come back or at least pass him his ticket when he’s in line?

Hi, I’m 9 months old. Should my parents bring me? Would they be able to bring my diaper bag in? My folks really like tacos, and I’d hate for them to miss out on my behalf. Thoughts?

I purchased living social tickets, is there a separate line for that to enter?

Off of what street will the VIP entrance be?

Is it possible to scan or show the PDF ticket at entry rather than printing it – no printer at home

Can you buy tickets at the door or do you have to do it online?

Do you have to purchase the $20 tequila expo ticket on top of $12 admission?
And does the $20 tequila expo ticket include any tequila or do you have to purchase tequila in the expo too?

@Shay Yes, you do have to purchase a $12 GA ticket first, along with the $20 Tequila if you want access to that tent. The $20 Tequila Ticket offers 10 1/2-ounce pours from over 100 types of tequila.

@Jess Saturday – General Admission only at the door (VIP Sold Out). Sunday, both available at the door, but VIP will sell out early.

@Mitch – yep, phones are fine! Come on down!

@RocksNoSalt – Pima, North of Indian Bend

@Lisa No but you will get in faster because there’s no transaction to be made and we did quite a few Daily Deals. It’ll move quickly, promise!

@Tanner You’re under 12 years old so you get in free! There are ADA bathrooms that are roomy enough for changing. We recommend doing the early portion of the event though, you know, for your new-born comfort. Please drink milk responsibly.

@Holly – need you to arrive at the same time – sorry for the inconvenience! We’re just not set up for that yet.

@Shari – into the festival, 11-year olds get in free. Into VIP, they will need the kid’s vip ticket – http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=3638874

@Brian – yep

@Tiffany – a HUGE kid’s zone. Kids under 12 get in free, and then most activities in the kids zone cost $2-$6 or so, depending. Be sure to visit the “Chefs Hat Decorating Zone” at Amica Insurance.

@Maryann – print and bring them with you or show your phone.

@Shawn – $6 16oz beers, $6 margs, $2 water/soda

There is reduced VIP price for children as there still is food and beverages. Obviously if it is a baby or very small child, we will not be so strict.

Yes and Yes, assuming that the two kids have their own tickets.

Festival staff will be there to sign you up.

There will be limited seating. You are welcome to try and bring a chair and umbrella, although it is quite a hectic site out there. There will be event maps (I believe).

Yes and only ticketed guests will be allowed into Tequila Expo due to space restrictions.

I am looking at entering your salsa contest and would like some more info please.

We are visiting Phoenix (from the Netherlands) for two weeks in October and like to come to the festival with 4 persons. Can we buy tickets to enter in advance or can we purchase them at the festival? Thank you

You can purchase at the Festival, but it’s always nice to have them in hand if you’re traveling. Now on sale here: http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=4228774
Welcome to AZ!

You’d have to enter the Taco Contest and then enter Salsa, since Salsa is a “sidecart” category to the main competition. Here’s an FAQ: http://aztacofestival.com/teams-faq/
