Like many major festivals, BCMF uses a tiered pricing system. As one ticket tier sells out, the system automatically moves to the next available tier. When someone adds tickets to their cart, those tickets are temporarily “held.” If they don’t complete their purchase, those tickets are then released back into the system. This means it’s possible to purchase tickets at a lower price point, even if the general price has already moved to the next tier!
By order of the NJABC, if you present false identification to obtain a 21+ wristband, you will be removed from the festival for the duration of the event, and your festival wristband will be cut-off. No Re- Entry. No Refund.
BCMF offers an accessible viewing area where seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note this area has limited capacity and is subject to the following guidelines:

The official BCMF beach parking area does not have a ramp for handicap accessibility.
Since beach parking is strictly for 4WD vehicles, those without it can utilize various parking areas throughout Wildwood, including the large lot near the Wildwoods Convention Center.
Additionally, the famous Sightseer Tramcars run along the boardwalk, making it easy to get from your parking spot right to the festival entrance.
