QUESTIONS

BEFORE YOU ASK

IS THE KICKOFF FESTIVAL REALLY FREE?2026-08-18T09:16:15-07:00

Yes, for participating players, coaches, and up to three family members or friends per player — and that free admission covers all three days, not just Friday. Those tickets still have to be claimed online using code LuxorFree2027. Anyone else buys General Admission at $25.

WHAT DOES THE $25 GENERAL ADMISSION TICKET COVER?2026-08-18T09:17:07-07:00

All three days. One ticket gets you into the Kickoff Festival at Big League Dreams Park on Friday, January 15, and the convention at the Luxor on Saturday, January 16 and Sunday, January 17. There is nothing else to buy at the door.

WHO NEEDS TO BUY GENERAL ADMISSION?2026-08-18T09:17:40-07:00

Two groups. Anyone not affiliated with a competing team — you don’t have to be playing to come. And any guest beyond the three complimentary tickets each player receives, so if a fourth family member is joining you, that person buys a ticket.

ARE FESTIVAL GAME TICKETS THE SAME AS ADMISSION?2026-08-18T09:25:12-07:00

No. Admission gets you in the door; game tickets are what you spend playing the festival games. Game tickets are good all weekend — Friday at the Festival and Saturday and Sunday at the convention.

DO WE HAVE TO BE THERE?2026-08-18T09:19:02-07:00

Yes. Team check-in and trading card distribution both happen at the festival, so every team needs to come through on Friday. Beyond check-in, how long you stay is up to you.

WHERE DOES GLOWBALL ACTUALLY HAPPEN?2026-08-18T09:19:31-07:00

On designated fields rather than across the whole complex — look for the dark ones once the sun goes down. Everything else keeps running at the same time, so families can split up or rotate through.

WHAT SHOULD PLAYERS WEAR?2026-08-18T09:19:59-07:00

Team uniforms or team gear. Players are photographed all day, teams get shout-outs by name, and it makes trading a lot easier. Bring a layer — January nights in Las Vegas get cold once the sun goes down

WHAT IF IT RAINS?2026-08-18T09:20:25-07:00

The festival runs rain or shine. If weather forces a change to any individual activity, updates go out through team communications and on site.

HOW DOES FRIDAY CONNECT TO THE REST OF THE WEEKEND?2026-08-18T09:20:53-07:00

The festival is day one of four. The convention and expo floor open at the Luxor, the 60-Minute Team Experience runs on its own schedule released four days before the festival, and The Baseball Convention Tournament runs through Monday, January 18.
