By the Numbers: Tickets

The Price of Admission

In 1999, a weekend pass to Celebration I cost just $34. Fast-forward to 2027 and a four-day pass costs $261. But once you factor in inflation and the number of days included, the story gets a lot more interesting.

Full-event ticket

Chicago 2019 was the first Celebration to cross the $200 mark, with a five-day pass costing $215. It was a milestone in a ticket-price history stretching back two decades.

Advance prices. Shows outside the US are converted to dollars at the exchange rate of the time. The hollow dot is the canceled 2020 show; the last one is on sale now.

Cost per day

Here's an interesting twist: adjusted for inflation, a day at Celebration in 2027 costs about the same as it did in 2013. Those rising ticket prices look a little different when you break them down by day.

Jedi Master VIP passes have climbed from $750 in 2010 to $1,211 in 2027, far faster than the pass beneath them. There's plenty more to the pricing history than the standard weekend ticket.
