Countdown NYE

December 31, 2026 and January 1, 2027. The current two-day Front Gate listing and Insomniac event listing agree on this New Year’s edition. Some guide text still prints 2025.

NOS Events Center, 689 S E Street, San Bernardino, California. Use the named venue and official directions: the homepage’s printed coordinates differ from the venue’s own map marker. Times are local Pacific time.

The FAQ lists 4 PM–2 AM and the current ticket page confirms a 4 PM start. Hours & Info still labels December 31 as 2025. Confirm both nights’ closing times before booking transport; PLURCast has not assigned verified attendance windows.

GA and GA+ are 18+. Bring valid photo ID; being accompanied by a guardian does not waive the age requirement.

Confirm before buying. The organizer says VIP is 21+, while the current Front Gate VIP listing says 18+. Don’t treat the ticket-page label as permission for an under-21 guest to enter VIP.

Clear bags: up to 12 × 6 × 12 inches. Small clutches may be non-clear and up to 6 × 9 inches.

Yes, clear or non-clear, empty on entry, with at most two main compartments and one smaller compartment.

Bring it empty. Reusable bottles are listed as allowed; the ticket page lists free refill stations.

Yes, with an empty bottle no larger than 1.5 litres.

Bring unexpired medication in its original container, with your name matching your photo ID and the prescription available. Bring only the amount needed for the event; entry medical staff must clear it.

Ordinary outside food and drinks are prohibited. For dietary needs beyond the listed vendor options, contact the accessibility team before arriving.

No; these are on the prohibited list. Contact the organizer about an accessibility need.

No on-site camping is listed. Parking rules also prohibit sleeping in your vehicle.

No same-day re-entry. Keep that in mind before leaving to get something from your car.

The FAQ allows an unscanned valid ticket until one hour before closing. Confirm the closing time for your night; the guide’s year label still needs correction.

The FAQ lists card and mobile-wallet payments, plus on-site cash-to-prepaid-card exchange. It does not establish any conversion fee or unused-balance refund here.

Confirm the current Countdown plan. The linked page advertises free general parking, but its Premier section names Escape Halloween. Treat lot assignments, hours and premium access as needing confirmation.

No. Front Gate says afterparties need a separate ticket plus same-day festival admission. Stay inside: leaving means no afterparty re-entry. It lists 2–6 AM and says official shuttles cannot accommodate afterparty guests. Arrange a suitable return plan.

The organizer links locker rental and describes charging-equipped lockers around 8 inches high, 12 wide and 18 deep. Check the linked reservation’s edition, dates and terms before booking; we haven’t verified that checkout yet.

Wheelchairs, scooters, crutches, walkers and canes are listed as permitted. The accessibility hub offers device charging; bring your cords and check the stated power requirements. The organizer does not provide wheelchair or scooter rental.

Visit the Accessibility Services Hub on-site for a free wristband; the organizer says no advance registration is needed. Viewing-area seating is first come, first served. Confirm the current map for locations.

Ask the organizer now. The page says at least 30 days ahead but still prints November 29, 2025 as its deadline. That is not a verified deadline for this edition.

Confirm your documents before travelling. Hours & Info requires renewal papers with a passport or expired licence; the FAQ separately mentions an interim licence for a lost ID. The wording does not clearly establish the same requirements.

The airport page lists Ontario, Santa Ana, Burbank and LAX, with Ontario first. The FAQ instead names LAX and Burbank as closest. Compare transport to the verified San Bernardino venue; don’t rely on the FAQ’s ranking.

Use the FAQ’s linked Lost & Found portal. It describes on-site service and off-site handling afterward; it explicitly says not to visit Insomniac headquarters for an inquiry.

Check the official site and organizer channels near the event. The FAQ says set times are released in the days beforehand; our review has not established a current operational map or full schedule.

The organizer hotel page links its Passkey booking service. Check your actual stay dates, total, travel plan and cancellation terms there; listed starting rates are not a live availability promise.

Use the official Contact Us form and choose General Questions for attendee help. Website Issues is for problems with the organizer’s website. No message is sent through PLURCast.
