Entries will be randomly selected. There is no advantage to entering at the earliest possible moment. Relax, pour yourself a beer, and enter anytime during the week of Monday May 4th, 2026.
To enter the ticket lottery, place your ticket pre-order at lottery.greattaste.org. Your credit card will NOT be charged unless your entry is randomly selected for fulfillment. We anticipate payments will be processed within one week and tickets will be mailed shortly after all payments are processed.
There is a limit of one lottery entry and two General Admission tickets per household. We will invalidate any entries that we feel are attempting to unfairly influence the outcome of the lottery.
Tickets will be mailed around the end of May.
Thank you for your patience while our all-volunteer team processes the lottery results!
