Buffalo, NY (WBEN) The Wing King is calling an audible. Drew Cerza announces the 2021 National Buffalo Wing Festival will be a general admission event as opposed to having timed sessions Labor Day weekend.
Cerza says safety protocols, which are now expired for outdoor events, led festival organizers to incorporate timed sessions. "Many Wingfest fans have urged us to go back to a general admission format, as in the past, while maintaining the safest environment as possible for our attendees to enjoy. This is what we have done," explains Cerza. We were also able to incorporate additional areas of the stadium and make it more comfortable for our wing fanatics to devour their wings. By including the main field and the open-air concourse around the stadium, as well as, the large indoor air-conditioned Pepsi Club, we were able to double our festival footprint and space our attendees out twice as much as in previous years. We also have over 20,000 seats for people to relax in," Cerza added.
Cerza says organizers have also been able to secure an additional supply of chicken wings, allowing to provide the same amount of wings to attendees as in the past.
Pre-sale tickets and tickets at the gate are $20 per person, which includes free parking. The event is Labor Day weekend Saturday September 4th from 12pm – 9pm and Sunday September 5th from 12 pm – 7 pm.
