The website said the cutoff date was February 28, but that might be for FOF only.
I just bought ours and emailed in photos for the ID to srfpics@gmail.com

Looks like I will be making my order tonight then
Even with the price change, if you go more than two weekends fof discount tickets are still cheaper.

*cheaper tickets means more money for rum*

Duly purchased.

Are there any particular requirements for pictures? Pixels, size, etc? I don't think I have a good single pic of me or Sidekick to send but have a decent group one that could be cropped if I knew what size to make it.

Figured folks here might know before I contact Faire.

This is what Berit posted in June, 2010 regarding photos.  As far as I know, the requirements have not changed, but I'm sure he'll let us know if they have:

You are correct sir!  We have added the comp tickets to the paper ticket. That way none of us has to stress over distributing the tickets and everyone gets their comps immediately.  For those of you who have bought your tickets and want to use last years pass: send us an email to Office@SRFestival.com, give us the name on the pass, whether you bought a Season Pass of Friend of the Faire membership last year, and what you bought this year.  Please list your current address. Also it would be helpful to have a phone number to contact you in case we can't find your name.

If you want to send in a picture this year, send it to SRFpics@gmail.com.  It should be 400 X 300 pixels and at least 500K as a file size. We also need to know what ticket you bought, what the first and last name is, your address and your phone number so that we can contact you.   We are still considering the best way to get everyones pins to them.  We will let you know what we come up with.

Oh, you guys are so lucky to have such a great faire!  The village is so beautiful. We had a wonderful time when we visited last year.  Wish we could visit again this year, but it's not in the cards.  Someday, though....... ;D

Ditto on the Wow factor for getting passes delivered so quickly.
The Lovely Lady Trinn's pass and mine were delivered while we were out at the last weekend of TRF. Made a nice suprise and reminder that even though one faire closes the next is just around the corner. And when you add in Sherwood that means even closer.
I Love Our Faire Crazed State! It's nice to have so many options within easy range.

*Kind of like my rum cabinet. Lot's to choose from and never a true end in sight*

Thanks for the kind words about the expeditious pass process. Keep in mind that the office closes for the last two weeks of the month.  And often we leave at noon on the prior Friday.  So if you order your tickets between 12/16 and 1/1, they aren't going to get to you until sometime after January 4 (at the earliest) Happy Hanukkahto all and in a couple of weeks, Merry Christmas.  Friends of the Faire (last year's crop) should be receiving a Holiday email sometime next week with our appreciation.

Wishing you music, merriment and magic,

Sir Berit of Miller

No season passes..... can't figure out the reasoning here. I'm sure someone thinks it's a financial advantage to Scarborough that might force some into FOF passes instead... won't be happening in our clan. I'll be getting my usual FOF but the kids more than likely will only be doing a couple of days instead.
Vendors will be the real losers here.... my kids eat a LOT and spend a LOT of money when they go.

Oh well

Looks like the 6 of us will only be going twice this season..... season passes not being offered this year.

2nd week and Scottish week only for us.

I'll probably miss seeing you this season then, son, unless you're going to be around for Sherwood opening weekend.

What the heck Dad? More broken promises? You said you would spend more time at Scarby this season!

I tell you what.... you come to Scarby 3 weekends and I'll come those weekends.

Dangit ! ! I wish I had a mother sometimes!

sorry to hear that Merlin II, It burns me up that you will not be coming that much this season (and Im sure you wont be the only one, to beat a dead horse again  ;)  ) because of the elimination of the season pass... anyhow, I purchased my FOFs almost a month ago or more, and still have not recieved my hard copys (I figure it will be in soon, delay was probly because of the holiday break)

Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, they just reopened offices today. They've been closed since before XMas.

It suck that the passes are SO much  :-[.
I don't think i will be able to buy one cause we are moving around that time and will have NO extra cash.

 Oh Dear! I just found out there are no season passes. Drat! Not sure I will be able to go to Scarby at all with having to beg rides, too.  fie.

Is there anyone we could express these concerns to directly?

Perhaps it was an oversight?
Title: Re: Advance Tickets for 2011 on sale now
Post by: Lady Kett on January 05, 2011, 07:25:33 PM
There is the contact us (http://www.srfestival.com/contact-us/) link on the website. A lot of us gave feedback last year when there wasn't a full season of bagpipes and drums and this year we have a full season of them, so it's worth a shot.

I can't help but hope that there will be SOME sort of discount/pass arrangement, either like TRF selling their packet of 17 tickets (which I later learned was a full season :D) or if you go with a 1 day pass, you can flip it to some sort of season ticket in person, just not via website.

I may just be dreaming but I surely hope there is something. After all, once you are in the gate, there should be SOME enticement to keep you coming back.

I still think the $115 for an FOF is not a bad deal. If you had to pay full gate price of $24, that's just over 4 visits. Advance online tickets at $20, it's 5, almost 6 visits.

I'm with you on that, Lady Kett.  I think what makes it hard on some folks is the large family.  Unless it smaller kids, it can get pretty expensive!

One excellent reason to only have 1 child for us! God bless all of you who have more. We could barely keep up with 1!

But ya, know whatcha mean. Really do hope they rethink this policy.

Yea.... I sent 2 messages from the site "contact us" link and got no response from either. Having a family of 4 and we always bring at least 3 others with us... me and 1 daughter always got the FOF because we would come every weekend.... the wife-unit and older daughter would usually come about 4 times so the season pass was perfect. The neighbors always got season passes and would usually go 4 or 5 times.... they aren't going at all this season apparently. Just seems more people are going to come less rather than opt for a FOF pass.

They do have two day passes at the gate saves you $14 over individual tickets.   If you can get a group togeather there is groups tickets for $18 but you have to buy 15 tickets.  I know many people have sent message about no season passes and I admit I don't understand the business reason given but not much we can do at this point.

 thats ok, when they see that ALL their other sales numbers are DOWN at the end of the season, maybe then it will open some eyes in the management. It saddens me that I may not get to see all my friends this year because of this. it is killing some of the spirit of Faire for me....   :(   (something I thought I would NEVER have happen)

Ps, thanks to Coy for contacting me, my passes were held up cause I put the wrong last name on Aprils FOF pass (its a long story, LOL)
