Join the Harlem Globetrotters on the court for a chance to shoot some hoops, learn some new ball tricks, and get autographs and photos. Feel free to bring something for the team members to sign and a marker. This requires an extra ticket per person at $20. Spaces are limited and sell out quickly so book yours early!

You’ll have exclusive access to the court, where you have the opportunity to see the players warm-up their World Record breaking shots and skills. Warm-ups begin 30 minutes before game time and will last for 20 minutes. Check-in courtside at the announcer’s table upon arrival at the venue. Late arrivals will not be refunded.
