Spectator Passes for Riverside 11: General Admission vs. VIP

Image

Riverside 11 is built for people who want to be in it—walking the grounds, seeing the vehicles up close, shopping vendors, eating well, catching live music, and getting the full atmosphere of the weekend.

This year, spectators have two ways to attend the main event: General Admission or VIP. Both get you into Riverside 11 on Saturday. VIP is for people who want early entry, deeper access, and a more complete weekend plan.

General Admission Spectator Pass: Full Access to the Main Event

A General Admission Spectator Pass gets you access to all areas of the main events including(but not limited to):

  • The Auto Gallery — curated builds, standout details, and the vehicles everyone comes to see.
  • Outta Luck Market & Bike Show — vendors, bikes, and the kind of browsing that turns into “I didn’t know I needed this.”
  • Food Truck Fest & Beer Garden — food, drinks, and a place to reset between laps.
  • Live music — energy, atmosphere, and a reason to stay longer.
  • 100+ vendors — parts, apparel, art, accessories, and brands.
  • 400+ vehicles — variety, density, and the scale that makes Riverside feel massive.

If you’re coming to experience the full show on Saturday, General Admission covers it.

VIP Pass: The Ultimate Riverside Experience (Early Entry + All-Access)

If you want Riverside at the highest level—more access, less friction, and more value across the weekend—the VIP Pass is the move.

With a VIP Pass, you get:

  • Early entry and all-access for a smoother arrival and more time inside.
  • A behind-the-scenes look at Riverside and how it’s put together—what most people never see.
  • A personalized, event-specific merch pack built for Riverside 11.
  • Local business discounts so the weekend benefits extend beyond the gates.
  • Access to a detailed schedule of special industry events from Thursday through Sunday, giving you a full roadmap for the weekend, not just Saturday.

VIP is for people who want to treat Riverside like a full weekend experience—planned, connected, and expanded.

Buy Early: Save Money and Skip the Line

Passes will not be mailed out in advance. All passes must be picked up at will-call.

Buying in advance means:

  • You skip the line and get in faster.
  • You save money.

Passes purchased at the gate will be $25. If you know you’re going, locking in ahead of time is the cleanest option.
