What Does a VIP Ticket Get You?
For Food Truck Festivals of America, a VIP ticket ($20) gets you:
- 1 hour of early access to the trucks
- Unlimited free non-alcoholic beverages
- Free dessert
- Free Food Truck Festivals of America koozie
While it may seem silly to pay for just one extra hour, the lines at some of these events can get ridiculously long, so if you’re serious about sampling from a variety of trucks, it might be worth it for you.
If you’re going with a group, one strategy is to have one individual get the VIP ticket, grab as much food truck food as they can, and then share with friends when they can join.
This is also nice because the VIP users has unlimited access to drinks, so they can be responsible for hydrating the group.
Have Fun at the Festivals!
Maybe I’ll be able to catch you at one or several! Enjoy that food truck food!
