Update 10/4: Tickets are available for 48 locations! See them here.

OHNY Weekend Tickets will be released on Friday, October 3 at 12pm ET. Here’s everything you need to know:

Do I need tickets for OHNY Weekend?

Not necessarily! Over 160 OHNY Weekend festival locations are Drop-In. Some festival locations are Ticketed for capacity or security reasons and need to be pre-booked, as admission is limited to ticket holders only.

Everyone, including children, needs tickets, but not all locations allow children. Check a site’s age restrictions under Access Notes on its listing.

How do I get tickets?

Tickets will be released on Friday, October 3, at 12pm ET, and are available on a first-come, first-served basis (no lottery) on Eventbrite. Tickets are $7 for most sites (select tours are free). Each tour session has its own Eventbrite page. Up to two tickets can be purchased at a time.

To find a session’s Eventbrite page:

• Find the location’s page on the OHNY Festival Lineup.
• Look under “Dates & Times.”
• Click the black “Tickets” button for the session you want—it’ll take you to its Eventbrite page.

Tip: Start bookmarking Eventbrite pages today. Tickets go FAST. For more ticketing details and questions, check out our Ticket FAQs.

What if the OHNY website crashes?

It happened to Ticketmaster during Taylor Swift’s tour, and it has happened to Open House New York in the past. There’s a chance our website might slow down, but your desire to explore the city? Unstoppable. We know.

Three backup options for ticket release day are available for you:

1. Bookmark Eventbrite pages now for the ticketed sessions you’re most interested in. You can get to them by clicking on the black “Tickets” button on each location’s page.
2. Save this master spreadsheet that lists and links to all Eventbrite pages.
3. Skip our website and go directly to our Eventbrite Organizer page. All ticketing pages will appear here on October 3 at 12pm.

A note from our team:

We know that getting OHNY Weekend tickets can be highly competitive and frustrating. We’ve worked hard to significantly increase the number of tickets available—12,000 are on offer this year—but we expect many to be snapped up in seconds. Keep in mind that there are plenty of free and fun things to enjoy—more than 160 destinations don’t require tickets, and there’s so much to explore. Good luck and happy exploring!
