Tickets for 49th Balloon Fiesta to go on Sale July 2

March 25, 2021

Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta set launch October 2, 2021

For Immediate Release

Albuquerque, NM -The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, announced that general admission tickets for the 49thevent, set to take place October 2-10, will go on sale July 2, 2021. Beginning July 2, tickets will be available for purchase through Balloon Fiesta’s website (https://balloonfiesta.com). Tickets for Park and Ride and reservations for hospitality programs (e.g. Gondola Club, Chasers’ Club) will also be available online on July 2.

The 49th event was postponed in 2020 and moved to October 2-10, 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related State of New Mexico Public Health Orders. It was the only year the event was not held since it began in 1972. The Balloon Fiesta team has worked with guests who had secured reservations, tickets and RV spaces in 2020, making those purchases available for use at this year’s event or by providing a refund.

“Our team is excitedly planning for this year’s event and we can’t wait to see guests, pilots, volunteers and all participants at Balloon Fiesta Park come October,” said Sam Parks, director of operations, Balloon Fiesta. “We’ve always put the safety of every balloon team and attendee at the top of our priorities and this year no doubt will require new processes and additional planning.”

Details including a specific health plan and COVID-19-safe practices will be released prior to tickets going on sale. Follow balloonfiesta.com, Facebook (www.facebook.com/balloonfiesta) and Twitter (@balloonfiesta) for regular updates.
