Buy Tickets Now to Jump the Line at the 2018 BJ Burger Fest

There is now less than one week to this year's Jun 16-17 rock 'n’ roll-themed Beijing Burger Festival and so as to avoid disappointment, it's getting to be about that time to make like a Beatle with a ticket to ride by pre-registering. Just to give you a taste of what to expect, a whopping 20,000 attendees descended on Galaxy Soho for last year’s grill extravaganza, and there are a plethora of reasons to get your ticket sooner rather than later.

Making that advance purchase of a RMB 17 ticket couldn’t be easier – simply scan the QR code in the poster below and follow the prompts to pre-register. Buying a ticket ahead of time will ensure that you get in with good haste and ensuring the quickest possible access to the sizzling patties and drinks therein.

Aside from enjoying a breezier entry at this year’s Burger Fest, pre-registering also affords you other perks like:

Do you like standing in queues for hours in the hot midday sun? Of course you don't because that would just mean wasting time when you could be eating burgers and drinking beer. If you've purchased your Burger Fest tickets in advance, you'll get to skip the line and start the day with a strong a sense of superiority as you cruise through with priority entry. At some of our previous festivals held at Galaxy Soho, the wait to get in at peak times has been at times close to 90 minutes. Just FYI.

Like any Beijing event, we've got to keep an eye on the crowd numbers so if you don't buy your ticket in advance, you may find that all the tickets have sold out before you've even got to the front of the queue.

The science of scarves

There's no such thing as something for nothing, am I right? Actually, I'm wrong because if you buy your Burger Fest ticket in advance, you'll get a free bandana so as to deck yourself out like the scarf-laden Steven Tyler and seamlessly align with this year's Rock 'n’ Grill theme.

For those brave enough, this year's festival will be made all the more special given that on both days, one lucky and mad singer will win a return ticket to anywhere in Europe of their choosing (for more details on our rock 'n' roll karaoke contest and how to enter, tap here).

Why RMB 17 (or RMB 30 on the door)? Well, we've priced our event in accordance with our long and illustrious 17-year career of helping fresh-off-the-boaters and adventurous long-timers alike to navigate this wonderful city. Yes, it's really been 17 years – come get silly with us in style! For discounted bulk-buy tickets, please contact our marketing team at marketingteam@thebeijinger.com.
