When and Where
It is on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at Mana Wynwood, 318 NW 23rd St, Miami. It has two stages, according to TechRadar and Inven Global. Rockstar has not listed doors or set times yet. Forbes reports there is no on-site parking and recommends rideshare.
How to Get GTA 6 Festival Tickets: The Lottery, Step by Step
You cannot buy a ticket directly. You enter a free lottery first, and winners get a code to buy tickets. Rockstar says no purchase is needed to enter.
- Go to the official site, gtavi-thefestival. Miami, and sign up for the lottery.
- Make sure you are 17 or older. Each person gets one entry.
- Create a DICE account right after you enter. Use the same email and phone number as your lottery entry. Rockstar asks for this so entries are not flagged as bots (Forbes, Inven Global).
- Wait for a text message. Winners are drawn at random and get a code by SMS by 7 p.m. ET on November 10.
- On November 11 at 12 p.m. ET, tickets go on sale for winners only. It is first come, first served.
- Buy your tickets. The limit is two per code, and tickets cannot be transferred.
Receiving a code does not guarantee tickets. Codes are one-time use and cannot be sold or traded.
| Step | Time (ET) | Time (PT) | Time (UTC) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lottery entries close | Nov 10, 4 p.m. | Nov 10, 1 p.m. | Nov 10, 21:00 |
| Winners texted by | Nov 10, 7 p.m. | Nov 10, 4 p.m. | Nov 11, 00:00 |
| Ticket sale opens | Nov 11, 12 p.m. | Nov 11, 9 a.m. | Nov 11, 17:00 |
Who Runs the Lottery, Rockstar or DICE?
The official rules say the lottery is run by LAYLO, Inc. Inven Global reports that the codes come from a Laylo lottery and tickets are sold through DICE. Only use the link on the official Festival site.
What Should You Do If You Win?
Open the DICE app and be ready before 12 p.m. ET on November 11. Sales are first come, first served, and a code does not guarantee tickets.
- Log in to DICE with the same email and phone number you used for the lottery.
- Have your code from the SMS ready.
- Decide before the sale how many tickets you want. The limit is two.
- Do not share your code. It is one-time use and cannot be sold or traded.
What Are Your Odds of Winning?
Rockstar says the odds depend on the number of eligible entries received (TechRadar). No entry numbers or capacity have been announced, so we cannot give a percentage.
Is There a GTA 6 Festival Referral Program?
We could not find one. The official site, Forbes, Inven Global, Shattered, and TechRadar do not mention a referral program. Do not trust any page that says you can enter more times by inviting friends. The rules say one entry per person.
How Much Do GTA 6 Festival Tickets Cost?
The price has not been announced. Forbes says winners buy tickets through DICE, so tickets are likely paid, but no source gives the price. We will add it here when it is published.
What If You Miss the Lottery?
We found no announcement of a second lottery or a waitlist. Tickets cannot be transferred, and codes cannot be sold, so resale should not be an option.
- Do not buy codes or tickets from sellers online.
- One report advises treating any unexpected “you won” message as fake until you check your own DICE account.
- Check the official Festival site for updates.
What the Festival Is NOT
- It is not a gameplay demo. None of the sources we read mention any hands-on play.
- It does not give early access to GTA 6. The game launches on November 19.
- No livestream is announced in the sources we checked.
- Kodak Black is on the lineup, but no source we found says he appears in the game.
Why Are Fans Confused About the Date?
Revolt reports that many fans are confused about holding the Festival after the game launches rather than before. Rockstar has not explained the timing. It does mean you can play for two days and then go to the show.
GTA VI: The Album & Original Score: Physical Vinyl and CD Pre-Orders Open
Rockstar announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album with 34 original tracks. Six tracks have been streaming since September 17.
- Physical editions: Pre-orders are on gtavi-thealbum.com. They ship on November 20, according to Gfinity.
- Prices (Gfinity): CD $20, vinyl set $49.98, limited vinyl set $124.98.
9to5Toys lists $50 vinyl sets at Amazon and Best Buy in different colors. We found no separate Original Score release, so we cannot confirm one. Before the show, make sure the game is ready. See how to preload GTA 6 on your console.
