GTA 6 Festival Tickets: Nov. 11 Sale Time, $60 Price, Full Lineup and How the DICE Waitlist Works

Tickets for Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival, Rockstar’s launch party in Miami, go on sale Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 12 p.m. ET (9 a.m. PT) on DICE. Only people who won a code in Rockstar’s ticket lottery can buy them. The lottery closed on Nov. 10, and if you didn’t get a text, your only official option now is the DICE waitlist. Tickets are listed at $60, you can buy no more than two, and they can’t be transferred. The show is Saturday, Nov. 21 at Mana Wynwood, two days after GTA 6 comes out.

Here’s the lineup, the ticket rules and what to know before you go.

When do GTA 6 Festival tickets go on sale?

According to Rockstar’s official festival page, the timeline was:

• Lottery closed: Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET
• Winners drawn: Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. ET (winners got their codes by text)
• Tickets on sale for lottery winners: Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 12 p.m. ET

In other time zones, noon ET is 9 a.m. PT and 5 p.m. in the UK. The lottery site says codes can be used once, can’t be sold or traded, and have no cash value. It also warns that “receiving a code does not guarantee tickets.” So if you have a code, be logged in before noon ET. Sales are first come, first served, and plenty of code holders will be trying to buy at the same moment.

Use the same email and phone number

Rockstar told lottery entrants to create a DICE account with the exact same email address and phone number they used to enter the lottery. Its page says this is how you avoid being flagged as a bot and removed. Before the sale opens, check that your DICE account details match what you entered.

Missed the lottery? How the DICE waitlist works

Lottery entries are closed, and Rockstar hasn’t announced a general public sale. The official alternative is the waitlist on the DICE event page. According to DICE’s FAQ, if a ticket holder can’t make it, they list the ticket back on DICE, and waitlisted fans get those tickets in the order they joined. The earlier you join, the better your place in line.

Because the tickets are non-transferable, your guest has to arrive and enter the venue with you. That also makes tickets offered on social media or third-party resale sites a real risk. The only resale route Rockstar and DICE describe is DICE’s own waitlist, so be very wary of anyone selling “GTA 6 Festival tickets” anywhere else.

GTA 6 Festival lineup

Rockstar says the festival will have two stages of nonstop music, with artists “from the game and the official soundtrack.” The official lineup is:

• Cactus Jack presents Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Kodak Black and SoFaygo
• Cardi B
• Metro Boomin
• Justice (DJ set)
• Rauw & Friends
• Tainy
• Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso
• Suero
• Nick León b2b DJ Python
• Prospa b2b Skream
• The Dare b2b Fcukers (DJ set)

The Justice booking stands out. The French duo composed GTA 6’s original score, as Music Times notes. Miami New Times describes the bill as heavy on hip-hop and electronic music, and the Latin acts fit a game set in a fictional version of Miami.

Set times: Rockstar hasn’t published set times or said which stage each act will play. The order of names on the poster isn’t a performance schedule.

Is the GTA 6 Festival being livestreamed?

Not as far as we know. Neither Rockstar’s announcement nor the festival site mentions a livestream, and GGRecon also found no mention of one. If Rockstar or PlayStation adds a stream, it would most likely appear on their official channels. Rockstar also hasn’t announced any in-game reward tied to the event, so treat “festival unlock” claims as rumors.

Getting there: parking, entry and bag rules

Rockstar’s page has a detailed list of policies. Here are the ones most likely to trip people up:

• No on-site parking. Rockstar strongly recommends rideshare, with drop-off points around the edge of the festival grounds. Nearby private lots and street parking aren’t run by the organizers.
• Entrance: All ticket holders enter through 5th Avenue.
• ID rules: Digital IDs, school IDs, expired IDs and photocopies are not accepted. A U.S. driver’s license or state ID, or a passport, works.
• Bags: Clear bags up to 12″ x 6″ x 12″, or small clutches up to 6″ x 9″. Larger non-clear backpacks and purses aren’t allowed. Hydration packs are allowed but must be empty.
• Banned items include toy guns and water guns, costumes that look like police, fire, security or medical uniforms, professional cameras, drones, and outside food or drinks. A lot of GTA-themed costumes could run into the uniform and toy-gun rules, so plan your outfit with that in mind.
• No re-entry. Rockstar’s policy also lists no refunds or exchanges, and expect a full security search at the gate.
