Rockstar Games posted this morning that the ticket lottery for Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival closes today at 2 PM MST. Entries require an active DICE account, winners will be drawn at random and sent access codes by 5 PM MST, and each code is good for 2 tickets. The festival takes place on November 21 at Mana Wynwood in Miami, 2 days after Grand Theft Auto VI launches. Check out the official post down below:
How The Ticket Lottery Works
Ticket sales are run by DICE, with the exclusive purchase codes handed out by Laylo through a drawing of eligible entries. Rockstar's event page lists 1 entry per person, and no purchase is needed to enter. The odds of being picked depend on how many eligible entries come in, and Rockstar states that entering does not guarantee a code.
The event page also asks entrants to create a DICE account right after entering, using the exact same email address and phone number for both, because mismatched details can get an entry flagged as a bot and removed from the lottery. Winners will be contacted by text message with their code.
- Lottery closes: Tuesday, November 10 at 2 PM MST
- Winners drawn and contacted: Tuesday, November 10 by 5 PM MST
- Tickets on sale for winners: Wednesday, November 11 at 10 AM MST
- Festival date: Saturday, November 21 at Mana Wynwood, 318 NW 23rd St, Miami
Codes can be used only once, cannot be sold or traded and have no cash value. Sales on November 11 are first-come, first-served, so a code does not promise a ticket if the supply runs out first. Purchases are capped at 2 tickets per buyer, the tickets are non-transferable and there are no refunds or exchanges. Entrants and attendees must be 17 or older.
The Festival Lineup
Rockstar announced the festival yesterday as "a special live event on November 21 at Mana Wynwood in Miami to celebrate the launch of GTAVI, featuring a star-studded lineup of artists from the game and the official soundtrack." The event is presented with PlayStation and produced by the creators of Miami's III Points festival, with music running across 2 stages.
The bill is led by a Cactus Jack set featuring Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Kodak Black and Sofaygo. Cardi B, Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso, Metro Boomin, Rauw and Friends, Suero and Tainy are also booked. The DJ side includes a Justice DJ set, Nick León b2b DJ Python, Prospa b2b Skream and a DJ set from The Dare b2b Fcukers.
Justice's slot ties directly to the game. The French electronic duo composed the original score for Grand Theft Auto VI, and their single "Flower in a Hurricane," featuring Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, debuted in the game's launch trailer last month.

Venue Rules And Entry
All ticketholders enter Mana Wynwood through 5th Avenue, and there is no parking on-site. Rideshare drop-off points will be set up around the edge of the grounds. A valid photo ID is required at the gate, with digital IDs, school IDs and expired IDs all refused, and attendees must be 21 or older to buy alcohol.
Security will run TSA-style searches. Clear bags up to 12 by 6 by 12 inches and small bags up to 6 by 9 inches are allowed, while the prohibited list includes toy guns, water guns, drones, professional cameras and red-colored light-up wands.

Grand Theft Auto VI Launch Week
Grand Theft Auto VI launches Thursday, November 19 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and digital pre-loading opened today. Rockstar's Newswire says PS5 pre-loads start at midnight local time, Xbox pre-loads started at 12 AM GMT and the download needs up to 212 GB. Code-in-box copies reach retailers on November 12.
The game follows Jason and Lucia, who end up "on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida" after an easy score goes wrong. Rockstar has also been turning Miami into Vice City ahead of launch, including a Miami Heat "A Night in Vice City" game against the Milwaukee Bucks on November 18. More on that campaign is in GTA 6 Is Turning Miami Into Vice City With A Real Blimp, Burger Shot Stands And A Glowing Rooftop Sign.
