General seating available at the Joust is always free with Festival admission. Those seeking to watch the Joust like Royalty by becoming immersed in the action with exclusive, shaded, and reserved seating can do so with VIP Joust seats. Reservation price does not include Festival admission. Tax and $1.99 fee applies.  VIP Joust seat reservations are date, time, and section specific and therefore valid only on the date, time, and section specified at purchase and available while supplies last. VIP Joust seat reservations are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. Festival is open rain or shine unless extreme weather or unsafe conditions beyond the Festival’s control inhibit its ability to park cars or operate safely. If the Festival is unable to open, a refund or rain check for paid tickets will be issued by Festival management. Scheduled performances on open rain days may be revised or modified for safety.
