VIP Ticket gets you 1-hour early access starting at 10 am; a limited-edition tote bag filled with swag, an event bookmark and sticker, 2 raffle tickets, an annotation kit, a friendship bracelet, a free bottle of water from the concession stand, and a colored marker for author signatures on the back of the tote bag, plus anything else we think will be fun! :)
VIP tickets must be purchased in advance; you cannot buy VIP tickets at the door.
To redeem: please keep your ticket email; your name and however many tickets you purchased will be on the guest list. Arrive at the event center and give your name to the ticket taker at the entrance. You will then receive a VIP wristband and your tote bag full of goodies and be allowed entrance.
Be sure that all people have VIP tickets, with the exception of a kid's ticket. They may accompany a VIP ticket. General admission tickets get access to the event starting at 11 am.
