Winter Pride Ticket Name & ID Matching Policy

Purpose
To ensure the safety, integrity, and smooth entry of all attendees, Winter Pride requires that the name on each ticket matches the attendee’s valid photo ID. This policy helps prevent ticket fraud, supports contact tracing if needed, ensuring attendees are of legal age for the event they are attended and ensures a respectful and inclusive experience for all.

Preferred Names & Inclusivity
We understand that some attendees may use a preferred name that differs from their legal ID. If this applies to you, please contact our team in advance at Winter Pride Contact Page so we can make accommodations while maintaining security protocols.
