All prices include fees — what you see is what you pay. FastPass prices are dynamic and subject to change based on demand — the sooner you buy, the cheaper. On Aug 15 minimum prices rise (Fri $145.07 / Sat $134.62 / Sun $124.17 / Mon $118.95 all-in). Prices current as of Jun 10.

Heads up — this is rides & credits only

The wristbands and credits sold here are for carnival rides and games only — they do not include event admission. Event admission is required to enter and is sold separately (advance purchase only; children 5 & under free). Get admission at malibuchilicookoff.org.

⚡ Priority Lane FastPass Drastically Limited for 2026

45% fewer FastPasses than last year, strictly capped every day — quantities are limited so the Priority Lane is actually fast. Pricing is dynamic, like airline tickets: it climbs as each day sells out, and on August 15 every day’s price rises to at least its published minimum. Sunday and Monday are launching at the lowest FastPass prices of the event. Today’s launch prices are the guaranteed lowest they will ever be. When a day’s allocation is gone, it is gone.

★ VIP Any-Day Carnival Experience Pass Only 500 Exist

The only band that never makes you pick a day: Unlimited Rides + Priority Lane FastPass + 50 Ride/Game Credits — with your FastPass guaranteed whichever single day you choose, even if that day is sold out.

$250flat — fees includedPrice Locked

Every other FastPass price is dynamic and can rise as days sell out — the VIP price is locked and will never go up. Only 500 VIP bands exist for the entire event; once they are gone, they are gone. The only guaranteed seat in the house.

Important — Please Read
