Q: Do I have to print my online ticket at home and bring to the event?

Q: Why do you charge an entry fee for this event?

A: This event is not funded by the City or the College, though they are both gracious and invaluable partners in working with us. It is put on by a 100% volunteer staff spearheaded by the Rotary Club of Ventura. Tickets sales do NOT cover the hard costs of putting on the event (a first-rate fireworks show isn't cheap!) So the event is only made possible by YOU, the paying attendee, and by the support of sponsors. Any net proceeds from the event go directly back into the community in the form of local Rotary programs and Rotary's support for many charitable and community organizations. For example, prior years' fireworks shows helped support Ventura's Coats for Kids project, the Dictionary Project for every 3rd grader in Ventura, Perspectives on Peace College Scholarships, the Boys & Girls Club, and local food pantries among others. Please understand that your ticket purchase not only makes the event possible, it also supports your community through the programs and charitable giving of The Rotary Club of Ventura. Thank you!

For example, if you arrive at the gate with a "Family 4 Pack" ticket, 4 persons may enter together at that time. Children ages 3 and under are FREE. There is NO re-admittance after exiting the event (NO in-out privileges.)
