How to attend
General admission and hospitality tickets are sold in advance at pebblebeachconcours.net and reliably sell out, with general admission running in the region of USD 500 and hospitality several times that. It is open to the ticketed public. Proceeds go to charity. Plan the trip around the whole of Car Week, since the surrounding auctions, tours and the Monterey Reunion all run in the same days.
Insider tip
Buy the Dawn Patrol ticket if you can - the cars are driven onto the 18th fairway between about 5.30 and 8am in the sea fog with engines running, which is a completely different and far better experience than the static show at midday.
