HBO put up tickets for free on a website created to promote the event, which will take place during the first weekend ofSXSWnext month. However, the free tickets were snatched up almost instantly for this immersiveWestworldexperience and are already gone. But there’s still a chance, as it’s promised that another batch of tickets will be made available closer to the event, so you’ll want to keep your eyes locked on theWestworldsocial media accounts for info on when those tickets will be made available and how to get them.
“The freedom ofliving without the rulesor judgement is coming to Austin, Texas. During SXSW, from March 9-11, the park will reopen for a limited, elite few. Reserve a ticket now to secure your visit to the originalimmersive vacation destination.”
HBO is going all out for what they’re billing as a “Live Without Limits Weekend,” which is being used to promote the upcoming release ofSeason 2. The network has rented two acres of land outside of Austin for thisWestworldexperience, which will include The Coronado hotel and the Mariposa Saloon, among other attractions that fans of the show will be sure to love. Even if you’re not a fan of the show, this sounds like a truly cool thing to experience.
ThisWestworldexperience will begin before guests even arrive at theactual park. Those attending will be picked up in Austin in a “Delos Shuttle,” then they will be assigned a black hat or white hat. There will also be hosts that fans can interact with at the park. But you can’t kill them and they won’t do any naughty stuff with you like in the show. There will also be horses, western food and drinks and clues to many of the show’s mysteries hidden in the experience.
