After that, Guinness will certify the attempt, and all participants will become Guinness World Record- holders. All you need to do is be on time, have fun and eat pizza.

Can I show up on the day of?
Ideally, it is best to pre-purchase a ticket so we can gauge how many people will be attending, as well as making it easier for entrance. It's TOTALLY OK to show up the day of the event, BUT you will still need to purchase a ticket to the TU Basketball game against Tulane. Tickets at the door will be priced at $10. Pre-purchased tickets are $5.

How old do you have to be to participate?
All participants must be 12 or older and that you are entirely sure they or you can eat 1/4 of a 10-inch pizza (that's less than half a personal pizza). If you bring a child who cannot eat that, they can be next to you but not count toward the attempt.
