How much are Art Basel Miami Beach tickets?

Art Basel sells Miami Beach tickets through its official online ticket shop, and availability is limited. As of October 25, 2026, the official page lists general tickets and premium passes but doesn't show 2026 prices in its public text, so check the ticket shop for current rates before you plan your budget.

A few practical tips:

• Buy online in advance. Public-day tickets can sell out, especially for Saturday.
• Arrive at opening. Getting there at 11 AM gives you the most time on the showfloor before the afternoon rush.
• Only buy from Art Basel. Resold or "VIP" badges from third parties may not be valid.

For more ideas, see our guide to free things to do in Miami.

How do you get around during Miami Art Week?

Traffic on the causeways between Miami and Miami Beach gets very heavy during Art Week. Plan for travel between neighborhoods to take longer than usual.

• Use the free trolley on Miami Beach. The citywide trolley runs 8 AM to 11 PM, seven days a week, about every 20 minutes. The Middle Beach Loop stops at the Convention Center and Collins Park (City of Miami Beach). Track trolleys live with the Miami Beach Trolley Tracker.
• Group your days by neighborhood. Do Art Basel, Design Miami, Collins Park and Untitled on the same day. Save NADA, Art Miami, ICA Miami and Wynwood for a mainland day.
• Walk or use rideshare near the Convention Center. City garages fill up quickly during fair hours.
• Book your hotel early. Art Basel week is one of the most expensive weeks of the year for Miami hotels. See our guide to the best time to visit Miami.

Our guide to visiting Miami for an event covers where to stay and how to get between neighborhoods.
