Monster Jam is a huge day out for all the family. Kicking off with the world-famous Monster Jam Pit Party where fans can see the massive trucks up close. They can meet their favourite drivers and crews, get autographs, take selfies with the drivers and trucks and enjoy other family-friendly fun. This unique experience is the only place that allows people to get up-close access to the Monster Jam teams. As well as to get an insiders look at how these trucks are built to stand up to the competition.

Before the event, the Pit Party allows fans to get in with the Monster Jam action. Tickets for the Pit Party cost R150 each. Quantities are limited and available only with an event ticket priced at R150, R250, R350, R450 and R600 respectively. Discounted event-only family packages are available.

For decades, Monster Jam has been one of the biggest and most successful touring family events in the United States. Monster Jams three-city debut SA tour in 2019 broke International records with 3 sold-out stadia. They culminated in a new international record with 63 000 tickets sold in Johannesburg, says Tony Feldman of Showtime Management.  We are revved-up alongside our returning partners McDonalds SA and Supersport to bring this unique and exciting family entertainment experience back to South Africa.

Being known for all things family, we are proud to be a partner of this world-renowned action-packed family-friendly event. We believe in the power of sport and entertainment to bring family and friends together and what better way to do this than at Monster Jam 2023, says McDonalds South Africa (SA) Supply Chain, Marketing and Technology Executive, Daniel Padiachy.
