Title: So I think we are actually going to make it this year! Have a couple questions..
Post by: JJames on July 02, 2010, 01:06:27 AM
We went in 2008 and that was my, and my familie's first Ren Faire. We loved it and are planning to attend again and maybe make it a two day visit! I read on here a couple times about the FoF deal. Do I understand correctly?, that you can purchase a "weekend pass" for $5 per person?, versus $35 per person (which I am understanding are more or less season memberships)? And as far as tickets go, is purchasing them on line going to be the cheapest way to go? I mean from what I can tell its a dollar off per ticket, but I seen a deal where you can purchase discounted tickets from Walgreens, jus wondering if those would be any cheaper. I was suprised to see no discount for purchasing "two day" tickets.

Non the less we are going! Jus trying to get the little details figured out! Many thanks!

Click on the Tickets tab for the latest.  I don't know what the discount price is at Walgreens, however there's a good discount on opening weekend.  As the season progresses, there are usually buy 2 get 11 free and other "deals".  Keep checking, and Welcome!!!

Re: FoF weekend memberships, yes, for $5 you get all the benefits of full membership for the full weekend, except that you get a wristband instead of a shiny medallion.  Well worth it, just in the savings on bottled water.  If you are here Saturday July 24, for an additional $5 you can eat all day from our never-ending ever-changing Feast!!!

Where do you get the FoF pass - at the front gate or FoF area inside?

Last year we went inside the faire and then to the garden to purchase ours.
