Nearly all Mustang Week Texas venues require an entry ticket, with the exception of The Spot Kick-Off Party. Tickets can be purchased here online or at the gate. To participate in specific activities like karting, autocross, drag racing, the car show, and more, you’ll need to purchase a participant entry in addition to your access/entry for each activity either online or at the Registration Tent. We highly recommend pre-registering online to ensure we’re prepared for your arrival and to secure your spot—some activities may sell out online and won’t be available at the gate. Don’t miss your chance to join the action!
For detailed ticket pricing, please visit our registration page online. There is a Mustang Week All-Access ticket available for $75; or a Moody’s Friday-Sunday ticket for $50. If you want to purchase individual events, then Track Attack and Drag Day are $30 per day for spectator entry, Friday night @ Moody is $20, Saturday is $35, and Sunday is $25. The All-Access or Weekend Moody Pass is the best deal.
When registering, you must first select an entry ticket. Once you have chosen your entry ticket, you will be prompted to add tickets for individual participant activities, such as Car Show Entry, Autocross, Drag Racing, and more. Kids under 12 are FREE.
NOTE: You MAY enter the Car show with a Saturday ticket only, however this will not grant you admission to the Friday Mustang Week Meet or the Sunday Mustang Week event (when the award ceremony is). We recommend the Mustang Week Moody Ticket which is $50 and gets you admission to Moody on Friday-Saturday-Sunday.
Please note that All-Access Passes facilitate spectator entry to each venue but do not include tickets for specific participant activities. To participate in these activities, you must purchase entry for each one separately.

Yes, but the VIP Car Show Entry would have to enter the car show when we are parking the Standard Car Show Entries (not early with the VIP option). In order to get priority VIP parking, each car must have a VIP decal.
If we want to be welcome in Galveston and Houston, we have to represent the Mustang Community well. There are plenty of opportunities to do stupid things in a smart way on a racetrack, kart track, burnout pit, dragstrip or drifting area.
