Ultimate Fan Pass

Get closer to the action with the all-new Ultimate Fan Pass - a limited-capacity, 30-minute pregame on-court experience featuring the Harlem Globetrotters and their Rivals. Be first through the doors and first on the court, where you get exclusive access up close with the players, learn trick shots from the pros, get one-of-a-kind photos, and kick off your own tip-off party before the rest of the crowd arrives. Ultimate Fan Pass guests also get first access to the merchandise stands before the lines form. A separate game ticket is required and is not included with this experience. Minors must be accompanied by an adult who also holds an Ultimate Fan Pass. Soft- or rubber-soled shoes are required on court.
The on-court experience begins 90 minutes before game time. Late arrivals may miss some or all of the experience and are not eligible for refunds.
