KANSAS CITY, MO. – The National WWI Museum and Memorial announced the launch of an All-Access Ticket for visitors during FIFA Fan Festival™ operating dates this summer. On select dates from June 11 through July 11, the Museum and Memorial will serve as a gateway to the FIFA Fan Festival™ hosted on its south lawn — and all Museum ticket holders will receive guaranteed entry to experience the FIFA Fan Festival™, even when the 25,000-person capacity limit is reached.
The All-Access Ticket provides a unique benefit to visitors, ensuring seamless access to both the Museum and Memorial and the FIFA Fan Festival™ experience during one of the most anticipated sporting events in the world. The Museum and Memorial will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. throughout the FIFA World Cup™ period, offering visitors a world-class cultural destination and a chance to explore its newest exhibition, The Beautiful Game, about the intersection of soccer and WWI.
Beyond the cultural experience, the Museum and Memorial offers FIFA Fan Festival™ attendees a welcome respite from the elements. Visitors can cool off in air-conditioned galleries, take shelter from summer heat or rain, and access indoor restroom facilities — a real comfort during a long day of outdoor festivities in Kansas City's summer weather.
