Wristbands must be picked up by 10:00 PM. The crawl runs until 2:00 AM. 🎶 Music: Live DJs spinning the biggest hits and Halloween classics all night. 🗺️ Live Crawl Map: frightcrawl.com/map/fright-crawl/san-diego. Every stop, every time, updated live on the night. 🎟 Tickets: Prices climb as tiers sell, and the launch tier is capped at a handful of tickets that always go first, so grab yours early. Doing more than one night? The Weekend Pass in the ticket menu covers all four San Diego crawls for less than buying them separately. Throw on your wildest costume and crawl the city with a crowd that is all in costume. Creepy, cute, or covered in fake blood, this is the crawl to be a part of this Halloween weekend. 🧟‍♀️ ⭐ Over 10,000 crawlers joined The Fright Crawl last Halloween. 💬 "Got our tickets the day before and had no idea if it was going to be worth it.
