EEEEEATSCON Chicago 2025 is coming on August 23-24, and Chase Sapphire cardholders can now score early access and a $10 cash back offer. If you have the Chase Sapphire Reserve® (Rates & Fees), you’ll also get complimentary bites and a drink. Plus, Sapphire Reserve cardholders have the option to purchase all-you-can-EEEEEAT tickets.
In this article, we’ll cover what EEEEEATSCON is and how to take advantage of this promotion.

What Is EEEEEATSCON?
EEEEEATSCON (yes, that's five Es) is a food festival that first launched in Los Angeles in 2017. In 2021, JPMorgan Chase & Co. acquired the company behind the event, and since then, the festival has continued to grow. Furthermore, Chase Sapphire cardholders have exclusive perks at the festival. EEEEEATSCON now hosts annual events in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Miami.
EEEEEATSCON is more than just food. You can attend panels with famous podcasters, enjoy musical performances, or attend a comedy show. Each EEEEEATSCON is a unique experience.
EEEEEATSCON Chicago 2025
This year’s EEEEEATSCON Chicago returns to The Salt Shed on August 23 and 24. Tickets went on sale July 1 at 10 a.m. CST — that's right as we are publishing this post — exclusively for Chase cardholders.
The lineup includes legendary improv group The Second City, popular podcast hosts How Long Gone, and musical performances by DJ Trew, Big Once, Ca$h Era, Cut Cruz, and dance collective M.A.D.D. Rhythms.
Get early access to EEEEEATSCON and unlock savings with your Chase Sapphire card
If you're a Chase Sapphire cardholder and planning on heading to EEEEEATSCON this year, you can get into the event early. While general admission runs from noon to 6 pm, cardholders can enter an hour earlier, starting at 11 am. You can purchase tickets to the event here.
Unfortunately, the long-running 50% discount to EEEEEATSCON for Chase cardholders is no longer available.
At the event, all Chase cardholders (not just those with Sapphire cards) can activate a Chase offer through Chase.com or the mobile app to receive $10 in cash back after spending $10 or more at EEEEEATSCON. In other words, your first $10 is effectively free.
Perks for Sapphire Reserve cardholders
In addition, Sapphire Reserve cardholders have access to a premium F&B experience. This includes a complimentary beverage, exclusive bites, and more. More details will be released in the coming weeks.
Sapphire Reserve cardholders can also buy a special all-you-can-EEEEEAT ticket through Chase Ultimate Rewards — while supplies last. This perk was previously open to all Chase Sapphire cardholders but is now limited exclusively to Sapphire Reserve cardholders.

Our Take
If you're a foodie (like me), can get to Chicago on August 23 or 24, and have a Chase Sapphire-branded card, consider getting tickets for this year's EEEEEATSCON event. While you're there, enjoy your complimentary beverage and bites if you have a Sapphire Reserve card. And remember that all Chase cardholders can activate a $10 cash back offer for their first purchase of $10 or more.
