Season Pass

[Puck]

So I already bought my season pass, and I found out maybe three or four days ago that I'd won a free one for an honorable mention photograph. Well, they called me today asking if they wanted me to have it mailed, and I told them yes. When I asked if I could have it refunded or anything like that (since I'd bought mine only a few days prior), they said no, but that I could give it to somebody. The certificate is in my name, however.

So is there anybody here who has yet to buy a pass? The whole point of me entering the contest was so that I wouldn't have to pay for mine, but that didn't quite work out. As opposed to just letting it sit around and go to waste, I figured I would offer it to somebody else, even better if that somebody is faire family.

Hey Amanda. I haven't gotten mine yet. I wouldn't be able to give you all the cash for it first weekend. I was going to have to put it on my credit card. If I bought it from you, is there anyway I could pay you half this Saturday and the rest in a couple weeks?

how does that work since it has your picture on it?

[Puck]

I was told it was a certificate for a pass, not the actual pass. Don't know for sure, still waiting on it to show up in the mail. I really hope it gets here, Aubrie.

In the past, if you still have your 'season pass ID' picture, you can have it re stickered-
not sure how the certificate works, I had my past pass, along with the certificate turned in @ the office..

Hi Puck,

I just got my season pass a few weeks ago. When I bought it, I rec'd a certificate in the mail, then you take it to the GLMF office and Kara takes your picture and prints you a badge. They then take the certificate from you. Sorta think of it as a gift certificate at a store. Now, if you already have a pass from prior years, they just add a sticker to the back of it for each year to update the pass. Hope that helps.

I already have a pass, it's the same one from six years ago, but with the updated stickers for 2010. The whole issue was that I didn't want to wait until two days before faire to buy my stickers (essentially, the pass)... Then when I went and bought it, I was notified that I won a free one. Well, I obviously don't need TWO season passes, that's why I'm giving the other one to Farren O'Malley. The same thing happened a year or two ago to my mother, and we ended up just getting refunded the pass amount since we hadn't even been notified that she'd won.

They won't let me do that this year, and since I'm not sure when it will actually come in the mail, Kara informed me that they will have a second certificate waiting for me at the Will Call box, which I can then take (with Farren) to the office, to have the pass given to her instead of me. Whenever I receive the first one in the mail, I take it back to the office to have it voided so that their records aren't thrown off.
