VIP passes are limited to 100, and other tickets will be capped to meet the capacity limits of our event space. Once they are sold out, we cannot add more.

We highly suggest purchasing sooner rather than later; we sold out tickets our first year.

All tickets are non-refundable.

At this time, we do not plan on selling tickets at the convention. If tickets do not sell out prior to the convention, they will close a week before the event.

IMPORTANT PROGRAM AND RAFFLE INFORMATION:

Special workshops that require materials may be an additional fee for attendance; info will be made available as they become part of the program.

We will be updating the Program Schedule as able, but suggest buying two-day passes to avoid missing out on something.

Ticketed Raffles take place on Sunday at approx. 2pm. Saturday-only tickets are not eligible for the raffle, as the physical ticket must be in presence on Sunday to claim prizes. Raffle ticket sales end approx. one hour prior to the raffle drawing. Guests must be in attendance at the time of drawing to receive their prize(s). If they are not present and/or do not claim their prize upon their ticket being drawn & called, there will be additional tickets drawn & called until a present winner accepts the prize(s). The winning ticket will be verified by staff confirming the ticket number.

Please see our website for list of Special Guests & Vendors.
