A Friday built around car culture

Check what your ticket actually covers

The festival is open to the public, but concert admission and SEMA Show access are separate. A standard Show badge does not include the concert, while a concert-only ticket does not include the exhibition halls. Friday public-day and combined packages are listed on the official site; Show access requires attendees to be at least 16. Compare the official ticket options.

Why this update matters

For fans choosing between a day among the builds and an evening of music, the timetable makes that decision easier. Before booking, match the ticket package to the experience you want and check the organizer’s current terms. Schedules and availability can change.
