Why Ticketing?
Pride costs real money to produce.
As attendance has grown to over 140,000 people, the infrastructure, safety planning, and operational needs have grown significantly.
Ticketing is one part of creating a sustainable model that allows Pride to continue, evolve, and serve the community responsibly.
This is not about profit. It is about sustainability.
