Disclaimer for Third-Party Ticket Sellers: Please be aware of the following important information before purchasing tickets from third-party ticket sellers:

Unauthorized Ticket Sales: Third-party ticket sellers operate independently and may not be authorized or affiliated with the official event organizer, venue, or ticketing agency. They acquire tickets through various means, including reselling, scalping, or other potentially illegal methods. Purchasing tickets from unauthorized sellers may put you at risk of purchasing invalid or counterfeit tickets.

Ticket Authenticity: Third-party ticket sellers cannot guarantee the authenticity of the tickets they sell. There have been instances where individuals have unknowingly purchased fake tickets, resulting in denied entry to events. It is important to exercise caution and purchase tickets from authorized sources to ensure their validity.

Pricing and Fees: Third-party ticket sellers often charge higher prices than the face value of tickets. They may also include additional fees, such as service charges, processing fees, or delivery fees. These costs can significantly increase the overall ticket price. Be mindful of the total amount you will be paying and compare prices from different sources before making a purchase.

Availability and Guarantees: Third-party ticket sellers do not have control over the availability of tickets. While they may advertise tickets for events that are sold out through official channels, there is no guarantee that they can fulfill your order. It is advisable to check official ticketing platforms and authorized resellers before resorting to third-party sellers.

Limited Consumer Protection: Purchasing tickets from third-party sellers may limit your consumer protection rights. In case of disputes or issues related to ticket purchases, it can be challenging to obtain refunds, replacements, or any form of compensation. Official ticketing platforms and authorized resellers usually offer better customer support and protection.

Personal Information Security: When purchasing tickets from third-party sellers, you may be required to provide personal information, such as your name, contact details, and payment information. Be cautious and ensure that the website or platform you are using has adequate security measures in place to protect your sensitive data from unauthorized access or misuse.

Research and Due Diligence: Before making any purchases from third-party ticket sellers, conduct thorough research on their reputation, reliability, and customer reviews. Look for any red flags or negative feedback regarding their business practices. It is advisable to prioritize authorized sellers to minimize risks.

Remember, this warning is intended to help you make an informed decision when purchasing tickets from third-party sellers. While not all third-party ticket sellers are untrustworthy, exercising caution and following best practices can minimize the potential risks associated with these transactions.

The International Fireworks Championship will take place rain or shine. The safety and security of fans is our first priority. If conditions are unsafe, including due to fire dangers, a night may be postponed to the rain date of Sunday, September 8th. In this case, tickets for the postponed night will be automatically honored on the rain date. You will be informed of any weather-related updates by email, to the email address you used when purchasing your tickets.

Doors will open at 6:00 PM and activities will start promptly. We are expecting a very large crowd for this event, so we recommend that spectators plan to be in their seats by 7:30 PM at the latest. To ensure that you do not miss the show, please allow yourself ample time to park and get through security. The show will end at 10:00 PM.

There will be a number of activities for guests to engage with prior to the start of the International Fireworks Championship. Further details on the activities will be coming soon.

Turtle Creek Stadium will have its full offering of food and beverages available for purchase throughout the duration of the International Fireworks Championship. 

We will be awarding two trophies to the competitors. The fan choice trophy will be awarded each night based on spectator voting. Spectators will be able to access the voting via QR codes placed throughout the stadium. The championship trophy will be awarded by a panel of preselected pyrotechnic specialists at the conclusion of night two.

Parking for the International Fireworks Championship will cost $10 per car and $20 per bus. If you are planning to arrive by bus, we ask that you please notify the stadium ahead of time.

We realize fireworks displays can be unpleasant for some people and pets. The location of the International Fireworks Championship has the benefit of fewer residents in the immediate vicinity. Multiple mailers will be sent to these households to inform them of the event. We are also working with the local VA Clinic on communication with those veterans they think will benefit from knowing ahead of time.
