smackdown (authors performing shenanigans x100000000, end of the day wrap up, ticketed)

there will also be some preview events on friday, may 2

do you need a ticket to get into yallwest?

no! no registration or ticket to get into the festival itself. Select headline events (Keynotes & end of day smackdown) and others may have tickets at either no or a low cost.

what about sponsor events?

some sponsor events may be limited in capacity and therefore may require either registration or a ticket/wristband you pick up from their booth. once the sponsor events are announced, it is usually a good idea to follow the sponsor of the event you’d like to attend on social media to know how best to attend (ex: sometimes they drop a code word on their social media and you have to tell them at the booth)
