After getting an email from the Faire announcing the 2-1 deal, I figured I'd get some as gifts for some folks I thought might enjoy it. I went ahead and ordered them early last month with the understanding that they might not have been here by Christmas. I'm okay with that. Buuuut.... between the intimation in the email that they were going to try and get tickets out before Christmas and the website itself saying that tickets wouldn't be out until mid-January, I'm not sure what to expect. Does any one have any insight into this? Has anyone else ordered and received their tickets yet?

Unsure of that--..but..but..but...with the season pass holders, we receive a gift certificate that is redeemable in the form of the season pass..l passes can be re-stickered..this is done closer to Faire season with a NEW STICKER>> Drop them an email..about it.. Good Luck!

Thank you for the info. I do have a season pass for myself coming along with the gift tickets I ordered (I wasn't able to take in all the faire on my sole visit last season so I figured this was the best way to really explore it) but I don't recall reading anything about gift certificates or stickers.

Grouser; Don't worry my man, you will get your tickets in time for faire. They just aren't the most organized bunch in the world. Trevor can vouch for that. A couple of years ago he and Britny stood in line on opening morning for a couple of hours cuz they didn't have the season passes ready at that time. Nice folks, but they're not the epitome of organization. This faire has been going on for what now, twenty years? and you would think it was year one and they were still working out the kinks.
HANK.

Heh, guess I can relate to that. I once bought a filing cabinet to keep all my important papers in yet they still manage to end up tossed in plastic bags and shoved in a closet.

Hey Hank, remember when they used to try and do the photo IDs right at the box office? Let's see. In 2009 we waited in line on opening day to buy stickers for our passes, only to be told we had to go to the office to get them. Then, this year, we went straight to the office, and were told we needed to go to the box office to get our stickers. I'm betting they are still waiting for the tickets to be printed up. As Hank says, they aren't the most organized. Especially since, this time of year, they are doing everything from Florida.

I want to know about the Pubs and whether they'll be open or is it BYOB all over again. Totally threw off my rhythm of Faire last year. Maybe they can get a Charity to run the Pubs (I hope, I hope, I hope!)
Hey...only 172 days until Faire!!

Well, I just hope someone is working on the details now and not wait 3 hours before the Gates open...(exaggeration, granted but you get my point.)

I'd like to know when we are getting out tickets also??? I sent an email back in Jan said they were sending them out middle of Jan. Here it is Feb and still no tickets! Phone number to contact does not work plus now I am getting no email response. Now I wish I would of gotten Will Call tickets but the ones I bought were for Christmas. I ordered them back in December.

Don't think I'd wait for Will Call Tickets either as Opening Weekend is pretty crazy and the line for Will Call is absurd! I usually get my Season Pass sticker about 1 week before Faire opens when I know people are on site to take the money and give me the sticker...and I still call ahead just to make sure someone is there.
Really, GLMF Folks...just a lil' E-mail acknowledgement that comments/concerns are being heard and tickets are being printed/being stuffed in envelopes/being mailed/are mailed...etc would ease the tension of no info at all...everyone can't be in Florida...or...maybe they could...
