The biggest changes for the haunted house this year are that attendance will be limited each night and people will only go through the venue with the group they came with, according to the 13th Floor website.
While tickets can be purchased at the gate it’s being recommended that they are purchased beforehand online. All admissions tickets will also be reservation based.
