Re-Post from Vampy...Due to the number of party campers mainly ravers
who cause issues in camp 24/7 but never attend fair they are
requiring everyone to show proof they are attending fair IE you must
have a ticket to get into camp or you will have purchase one for 21
bucks at the gate.

Please pass this on to everyone.

Thank you! It is good that I have my comp pass (Pink Ticket) then! :) I just hope this does not hurt the people who go to see friends only.

By "pass' are you referring to work/employee pass? They will NOT let you in with that! They do not want employees at drum circle, because it is believed that employees (particularly the ones who live on renfaire drive)  are the ones bringing the drugs to playtron camp.

Everyone, be sure if someone is drinking your booze that they are 21! Major crackdown starts this weekend.

Messyn is correct.  The Particpant Pass will NOT gain you free entry into the patron campgrounds through the camping entry gate.  If you go through that gate, you will be charged the camping fees.

Interesting.  What are the time periods to purchase tickets on Friday?  I'll be needing weekend passes when I go, but chances are I won't be able to get there until late Friday afternoon.....

You will be forced to purchase a ticket at the guard shack.

The front castle etrance doors and the gate (where you can drive between camps) are both closed and locked up as of right now! (I just got off the phone with a friend who is there.) They REALLY do NOT want employees going into playtrons.

Ugh.  I suppose I shall call them and see if I can purchase weekend passes at the guard shack then, see if they take credit cards or if they're cash only. (I've never done this before.)  *sigh*  That sucks about the employees being locked up. :(  Maybe this is temporary.... I imagine when the bad news runs off, they'll slack up a little bit.  Hopefully.

Yeah I know the suck factor will grow as these inconveniences go up but one I'll galdly bear until the ravers are run off completely. Since I know it's for our own good and that they're taking the extra steps to make sure our grounds are safer, I'm all for whatever they need to do.

Ditto! I thank them for being so supportive of our wishes and complaints.

I believe that Element was referring to a one of the pink Complimentary tickets that so many of us receive as perks of employment, not our white employee pass. And yes, she would still have to pay the $10.00 camping fee.

Randal

Yes Sir! And I am perfectly OK with paying the $10 to camp. I do so every weekend, always have. I however do not have a white employee pass. Just my pink Comp pass. (I up-dated my post to show that is was a pink ticket, because after reading everyones responses it seemed as though they thought I had a White Participants pass.)

Good deal, thanks for the heads up PapaGnome. I've double checked to make sure I have my printed tickets in my wallet so I don't forget them.
Still Meggers, just a little more grown up now. :)

Hmm, odd, couple of my group members told me they just said that their tickets were in their gear and packed away and they lettem in....

....Still not impressed

So far they only hurt the good guys and the bad guys can still lie their way thru without consequence... (mind you my friends DID have their ticket, they just didn't have to showem)
