GTA 6: The Festival is a live music event happening at Mana Wynwood in Miami, and tickets are only available through a lottery that’s closing tomorrow, November 10 at 1 PM PT. If you win, you’ll get an SMS code to buy your tickets the next morning. There are specific steps, rules, and things you need to do to not get disqualified. Here is a complete GTA 6: The Festival guide, which includes the lineup, ticket lottery schedule, what to bring, and everything else you need to know as well.
What Is GTA 6: The Festival?
This is Rockstar Games and PlayStation’s official real-world launch celebration for Grand Theft Auto 6. The concept is built around the music of Vice City and Leonida, the in-game world of GTA 6, brought to life through a live two-stage event. It’s being produced in partnership with the team behind III Points, which is a well-known Miami-based music festival. It’s going to be a full concert event with a proper lineup, two stages, and a one-night-only format.
GTA 6: The Festival Artist Lineup
The headlining act is Cactus Jack presenting Travis Scott, with Don Toliver, Kodak Black, and Sofaygo. That’s already a stacked card on its own. The rest of the lineup rounds out the night with Cardi B, Metro Boomin, Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso, Justice (DJ set), Nick León b2b DJ Python, Prospa b2b Skream, Rauw & Friends, Suero, Tainy, and The Dare b2b Fcukers (DJ set).
The mix covers hip-hop, Latin, and electronic, which makes a lot of sense given GTA’s tradition of genre-spanning radio stations and also the music album with varied songs.

How to Get Tickets to GTA 6: The Festival
The tickets aren’t being sold to the public directly. Instead, Rockstar and PlayStation are running a lottery through Laylo, and only lottery winners can buy tickets. Here’s how it works:
There’s a 2-ticket maximum per person, the tickets are non-transferable, and you need to be 17 or older to enter and attend. Also, winning a code does not guarantee a ticket, since supply is limited, and the sale is first-come, first-served among code holders.
One thing you absolutely should not skip: Create a DICE account immediately after entering the lottery, using the exact same email address and phone number. If the information doesn’t match, you can get flagged as a bot and removed. Don’t leave that step for later.

GTA 6: The Festival Venue and Rules
The event is at Mana Wynwood, 318 NW 23rd St, Miami, FL 33127. All ticket holders enter through 5th Avenue. There is no on-site parking. The organizers are pushing rideshare hard, with designated drop-off points set around the perimeter. There are some private lots and street parking nearby, but those aren’t organized or watched by the event team, so you’re on your own if you go that route.
Below is the map of the venue:
What You Can and Can’t Bring to the Festival
Security is TSA-style. You’ll be emptying pockets and bags, going through a full pat-down, and potentially removing your shoes. Here’s the full breakdown:
| Allowed | Not Allowed |
|---|---|
| Deodorant | Aerosol cans or spray products |
| E-cigs and vapes | Drones or remote-controlled aircraft |
| Flags and handmade signs (no corporate branding, no hard poles) | Gas masks |

| Non-clear or clear small clutch bags up to 6" x 9" | Tents, large umbrellas, chairs, or blankets |
Bag Policy
The bag rules are worth reading carefully because a lot of people get turned away over this:
- Clear bags that don’t exceed 12" x 6" x 12" are fine.
- Non-clear or clear small bags (clutches, small crossbody bags) up to 6" x 9" are also allowed, with or without a strap.
- Hydration packs are permitted regardless of size and don’t need to be clear, but the bladder must be empty when you go through security.
Non-clear backpacks, purses, or crossbody bags larger than 6" x 9" are not allowed. All bags are subject to search at the gate and at any point during the event.
Festival Rules
A few more things to know before you go:
- No re-entry. Once you leave, that’s it. So plan your day accordingly.
- No refunds and exchange.
- No moshing or crowd-surfing.
- No sitting in designated dancefloor areas.
- No outside food or drinks of any kind, including candy and alcohol.
No camping, no unauthorized vendors, and no solicitations inside the grounds either.
Accessibility
The festival is accessible throughout. The venue has accessible routes connecting entrances, stages, vendor areas, and all activity zones. The ground is a mix of asphalt and grass terrain.
- Accessible viewing areas are available at designated stages for guests with disabilities and one companion. These spots are first-come, first-served, non-smoking, and you cannot save spots. If you or your companion are absent for more than 30 minutes, the spot goes to another guest.
- The Accessibility Services Hub is located right inside the main entrance near Guest Services and Lost and Found.
- No pre-registration is needed. At the hub, you pick up a free accessibility wristband, which must stay on for the duration of the event.
- Each guest with a disability gets one companion wristband. If you need to swap companions during the day, return the original to the hub and they’ll issue a new one.
There is no accessibility ticket to purchase. The wristband and all accessibility services are free of charge.
FAQs
Yes, as of today, November 9, the lottery is still open and closes on November 10 at 1 PM PT. Enter through Laylo before that deadline.
No, the minimum age to enter the event is 17. You only need to be 21 or older to purchase or drink alcohol on-site.
