Q. Where do I buy presale tickets?
A. Go to www.tapandcraft.com and click on the Festival of Slice button, which leads to the Eventbrite page. Both presale tickets will also be available for purchase at the Niagara Falls Convention Center, October 20-November 20 during regular business hours
Q. Can I buy tickets at the door?
A. Yes, but only 200 tickets will be available at the door. We hate turning people away, but we need to have an exact count so that the food vendors are prepared.
Q. Who are the vendors?
A. Vendor list will be announced on September 22.
Q. Can kids come?
A. Families are welcomed, of course. Children under 16 are free. Just email
Y2hlZXJzIHwgdGFwYW5kY3JhZnQgISBjb20= from the same email address that you booked your ticket with the number of kids coming, and we will make a note.
Q. Do I need to print my ticket?
A. No, we can scan on your phone. You can also print it out if you would like. Please have your ticket ready to scan as you enter the event space, so we can keep the line moving.
Q. How does the pizza tasting work?
A. You purchase $1 food tickets from the registration table after-entry. You can buy as many as you would like. The vendors are selling festival slices (party slice size) for 1-2 tickets. You can also use dollar bills to make your purchase, and you can make change at the registration table. Vendors are also selling full slices and other items that you can purchase separately. We think that $10 in tickets equals a nice sampling of great food at a fair price. So, $20 = a great meal, music, and a fun atmosphere. Food tickets are not included in the admission cost.
Q. What about drinks?
A. There will be two bars at the Festival of Slice, where you can purchase beer, wine, mixed drinks, soft drinks and water.
Q. Do the bars take credit cards?
A. Yes, and so does the registration table for your tickets.
Q. Are there ticket refunds?
A. No, there are no refunds for this event. Thank you.
