Summary
- Sammy Hagar's annual birthday party in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico is a highly coveted event
- Tickets are assigned via lottery, with 70,000 requests each year for the 600-capacity venue
- The event continued despite a tropical storm, with fans braving floods to attend
Last month, Sammy Hagar celebrated his 78th birthday with his annual bash in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, an event that has been one of the most difficult tickets to obtain for the past 35 years. Despite a tropical storm pounding the resort city, the party went on, with fans braving floods to attend the exclusive celebration.
Hagar's most dedicated "Redheads" fans make pilgrimages to the event each year, with the Cabo Wabo Cantina venue having a capacity of only 600 people. The demand is staggering, with Hagar's team claiming they receive around 70,000 ticket requests annually. Attendees either win a spot through a random lottery or line up for days to secure the remaining tickets.
The journalist who attended the event this year described the atmosphere as a "comfortable jam session with friends," with famous faces like Nickelback's Chad Kroeger and Alice in Chains' Jerry Cantrell making appearances. Hagar himself was in high spirits, leading a pre-show prayer circle and interacting with fans, even donning clothing they handed him on stage.
