    The GAP Card
    The GAP Card
    A new feature this year is The GAP Card. That’s right, you no longer have to hassle with tasting tickets! The GAP Card is the only thing you’ll need to gain admission to all the Picnic specialty areas or to purchase food & beverages. 
     
    Here’s how it works:
    1. Visit an GAP Card Booth located throughout the event grounds. They’ll provide you with an GAP Card to which you can load any value.
       
    2. Use your GAP Card to purchase food and beverage and/or to access Picnic specialty areas like the Southwest Festival of Beers, SKYY Bar or the Patron Experience all day long.
       
    3. Receive a refund for any unused portion…it’s that easy!
