Firefly will be on July 2-5, 2009. Tickets are $40/each and are only available before the event. There will not be any ticket sales at the gate. We are limiting sales to 3 tickets per person.
This year we will sell tickets in three blocks of 150, on three different days, at different times. We recogonize that not everyone has access to the internet all day long, so hopefully this will give people with sporadic access a chance to get tickets, too. Here is the official release schedule for tickets:
Thursday, May 28 - 8:00pm
Friday, May 29 - Noon
Saturday, May 30 - 10AM
Preregistration for tickets is open right now and we really recommend you do this to ease your path.
To order tickets you must first register with a working email address and enter in your mailing information so we can mail you tickets. This email address noes not need to be the same one ou use for PayPal. You can preregister now or register when ticket sales begin. We recommend you preregister beforehand so your ticket ordering is not delayed for any reason. Preregistering does not guarantee you a ticket - it will just speed up the process once tickets are made available.
A note on email and ticketing: We now require registering and verifying your email address so we are certain we have a way to communicate with you before the event. All email providers (like google, yahoo, etc.) filter their incoming messages for spam - sometimes messages that should get to you end up in your junk mail folder, and often will not even get to you. We have found that Yahoo is the biggest culprit of both not delivering email or delaying its delivery. So please check your junk mail folder and white-list our addresses (ticketing@fireflyartscollective.org) if this is a problem. You should receive a confirmation message from us almost immediately.
Firefly only accepts credit card payments through PayPal - other methods such as personal checks have proven to be a bigger headache than PayPal is. When ordering through PayPal we accept all major credit cards (Amex, Discover, Visa and Mastercard). You will also have the option of paying without needing to setup a PayPal account. Please do not try and order tickets by going directly to the PayPal site and sending us money. Ticket sales are through the Firefly web site only.
Children and minors are allowed at Firefly. All participants will need a ticket for admission - including children and minors over 2 years of age. Anyone under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult parent or adult legal guardian. Firefly is not necessarily a child friendly event, it is up to the parent or guardian to decide what is appropriate for their children to see and do. We ask that if you bring children, please act in a safe, sober, and responsible manner, and be aware of where they are at all times.
Firefly is run and organized by volunteers. Everything from managing ticket sales to wood gathering is up to the participants - THIS EVENT HAPPENS BECAUSE OF YOUR HELP. Please take a moment to think about how you will contribute this year. The best ways to initially get involved it to make contact through the Volunteer information page, email one of the group organizers, or contact the volunteer coordinator at: volunteer@fireflyartscollective.org.
Firefly is all about creating an experience for yourself and others. Please be sure you have read over the web site, especially the Event Guide so you have an understanding of the event and your role in it.
