Sculptured Sand has a set capacity to ensure the safety of our guests and crew and to make the experience a magical one for all. So, standby tickets will only be available if the number of guests in the event falls below our maximum capacity.

If a time slot you would like to purchase tickets for says "Sold Out", it means we do not have any more tickets available for that time slot. In order to maintain our capacity, standby tickets will likely not be available and guests hoping to purchase them will be turned away.

However, in the very rare case a party with tickets does not show up, there is a chance standby tickets could become available for purchase.

The only way to know if standby ticket sales are available is to go to the Sculptured Sand entrance where a sign will be displayed indicating the status of standby sales.

If standby tickets are available, they will be sold intermittently throughout the day as capacity allows on a first-come, first-served basis.

When standby tickets are available, a sign will be displayed next to the Sculptured Sand entrance with a QR code printed on it that guests can scan to purchase tickets on their phone.

Standby tickets have higher prices than our online tickets and discounts may not be applied to standby tickets.

Cash is not accepted on site, so standby tickets may only be purchased with a credit or debit card.

Standby tickets are only available for immediate entry, so guests must enter Sculptured Sand directly after their purchase has been processed.

Before entry into Sculptured Sand, all guests will be required to visit the Ticket Office to individually acknowledge and accept the waiver of liability. Guests who are under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who can sign the waiver on their behalf.
