If you decide to party with the official Fiesta station at these exclusive events you will be able to hang out with the KSAT anchors. There will also be food, drinks and great views of the parades.
By the way — KSAT Insiders got access to these tickets before the general public so if you want first dibs on seats next year you can become an Insider for free.
