Oktoberfest 2024

Each transaction is limited to six tickets.  All admission ticket sales are final.  

At the bottom of the Eventbrite page, you’ll find a “Contact” button. Shoot us a message and give us a couple of days to get back to you. We’ll get you taken care of; we’re here to help!

Unfortunately, we do not issue refunds on admission tickets. Visit Tixel, our sanctioned ticket resale platform to list your ticket safely and securely for sale.

We do not exchange tickets between Oktoberfest nights. We encourage you to find a friend to go in your place and buy a ticket for your preferred date. You can also visit Tixel, our sanctioned ticket resale platform, to list your ticket safely and securely for sale.

There are two options:

1. 1. Pre-purchase a Beer & Snack Voucher online in packs of five for $30. Once onsite, you’ll redeem at the Beer Tickets station, receiving 5 Beer & Snack tickets. We highly recommend this way. These vouchers can be redeemed at any Oktoberfest event.
   2. On-site: More beer or snack tickets will be on sale for $6/ticket at the event in whatever quantity suits you.

Beer & Snack Vouchers purchased online are refundable through 9/26 at 5:00 pm. If you need to refund your pre-purchased Beer & Snack Voucher, visit EventBrite to process.

Once you redeem your Beer & Snack Voucher or purchase tickets onsite, all sales are final. Tickets expire at the end of each evening’s events.

So many beers, so many snacks. It’s all about when you buy them.

• Beer & Snack Voucher – bought online, then redeemed for tickets onsite.
• Beer & Snack Ticket – bought and/or received at the event, then exchanged for a beverage or snack.

Don’t worry, you have the correct voucher. Since the voucher can be redeemed at any Oktoberfest, we must list it as redeemable 9/27-10/5 (covering all four events). It’s just how EventBrite programming works.

No. Beer & Snack Tickets are not transferrable between nights. These tickets expire at the end of each event.

Sorry, no one under 21 will be admitted, regardless of how far under 21 they are…but congrats on the new addition to the family. May we suggest a parents’ night out?!

PLEASE DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE. Really, we can’t stress this enough. If you overindulge, leave your car and come back for it the next day. Take the free (!) shuttle, call a ride-share service, or ask a friend to pick you up. Here are some options for you to make sure you get home safe and sound.

1. FREE SHUTTLE from Downtown Chico—the shuttle will run on a continuous loop on Friday and Saturday from 4:30-11:00 p.m. Pick up and drop off are at the transit center across from Madison Bear Garden. This is the ideal option for those seeking post-fest fun.
2. RIDE YOUR BIKE – Chico Velo is offering complimentary bike valet services and there is plentiful bike parking at the brewery! We don’t advocate drinking and riding your bike, though.
3. RIDE SHARE – No driving, door-to-door service and you can make a friend along the way. Ride-Share and private car drop off and pick up are encouraged, with a special area in our solar parking lot, close to the event entrance.
4. PARKING AT SILVER DOLLAR FAIRGROUNDS – Complimentary parking is available at the fairgrounds, which is a short walk to the brewery, or you can take the shuttle that will run back and forth from 4:30-11:00 p.m. If you need to, you can leave your car overnight at the fairgrounds and pick it up the next day.

PLEASE FEST RESPONSIBLY!

**THERE IS NO PARKING ON SITE AT SIERRA NEVADA**

Well, we’d like to, but we can’t. Legally, we have to make sure everyone inside the event is over 21. Bring your passport or any other government issued photo ID and you’ll be good to go!

Directly following the Chicken Dance contest will be a moustache-off. Well, we’re not shaving them off; just come up toward the stage and show them off. The winners will take home two tickets to next years Oktoberfest!

The Sierra Nevada Taproom is catering a contemporary German meal. The feast will be available from 5:00–8:00 p.m. and is included in your ticket price.

Traditional dress is encouraged, but not required. Lederhosen and dirndls are highly recommended! You don’t need to get fancy, just have fun with it!

Absolutely. Time to start practicing! Don’t be a turkey, learn the Chicken Dance with this awkward instructional video, and if you want a deeper dive, here’s some Wiki history. The contest will take place at the main stage; just come toward the stage between the Die Sauerkrauts and MarchFourth performances and show off your moves. The winners will take home two tickets to next years Oktoberfest!

Yes! Sign-ups for preliminary spots will take place in the beer garden each night. Finalists will compete on the main stage between the Die Sauerkrauts and MarchFourth performances. The winners will take home two tickets to the next years Oktoberfest!

Yes! Alongside the beer, we will serve Strainge Beast Hard Kombucha and non-alcoholic Trail Pass. Cheers!
