Those with a free pass can gain admission to any of the musicals, as long as there is space available; with performances beginning at 6:30 p.m. and ending at 9:50 p.m. Free ticket holders are advised to arrive between 6:15-7:30 p.m. to make the most use of the pass and for the best chance at seeing all five musicals. Reservations are highly recommended. Rush line ticket availability will be assessed on a per-evening basis.

Attendees may guarantee preferred seating at each of the five musicals with the purchase of a VIP Pass. The VIP Pass also includes a MMT gift and a voucher for a free drink at The Hennepin for only $40.
