Should be a good handful of places near you that have advance tickets. Save yourself a few bucks and some hassle.

They can also be purchased on the website Rina linked to, for $18.95 each.

When Me and Justin went a few years ago Justin paid for his ticket in suit and then we just went right in.  they won’t freak if you are in suit and want to buy a ticket.  🙂

I’m picking mine up from either SuperAmerica or Menards for $19

Hey I sent you a PM, Unico because I didn’t know if you would look here.

[Unico]

Ok since there was a request from one of the group members on here to show up at Children’s Trilogy what do people think of getting the suiters to all gather there at about 2pm?  should be late enough for people who plan to suit to arrive and the festival will be fairly busy so could be a nice Photo opportunity too with kids and adults.

unico,  I plan to be getting there at 8:30, and if anyone wants one, I have a stack of $3 off entry ticket coupons that I will be happy to hand out tonight at the Bi week.

[Little_Rascle]

I hope to be getting there right away in the morning.

Thanks one and all who were able to come out to Ren Fest today for the fun and frolic we all had with everyone as we went around.  Was a bit my fault for not being there at times I set for things, but every plan has a hiccup possible, but it seemed all who went had a bit of fun at least.  🙂

Thanks for setting the gathering up Unico! It was great to hit renfest again, can’t let a year go by without it again.  

Gotta be honest though that as a non-suiter it was really boring the time while I was with the large group. Suiters were constantly getting attention and pictures which is great for them but everyone else just sat to the side. We sat outside Beowolf for over 2 hours. Still a fun time overall and glad to see everyone out there.

[Unico]

I am glad that people had fun out there and yeah if you are not in suit or in costume of the times it can get boring unless you interact with the others directly, but glad it was well received in general at least.  🙂 Was amusing ho many times we got stopped and it wasn’t for someone to take pics of me in suit but to get pics of my dad dressed as Gandalf the White and then outside of Beowulf the wizard gathering Photo Shoot that happened.  I didn’t expect that at all.  🙂

My thoughts on the day:
For a roughly organized event it was good, though the people in fursuit stuck out like sore thumbs, the ones who got who got the attention were those who actually fit in the the scene.  Basically Uni, his dad as Gandalf, I know I was stopped a few times for pics in my Assassin’s Creed II cosplay.  I think the fursuiters weren’t exactly expected, well save for Unico (because unicorns in a fantasy realm).  However, the kids did love them.  And we do have resources around there that keeps our suiters comfortable.

The other thing is that we weren’t completely organized, and its okay.  I would expect people to go to Ren Fest for Ren Fest.  It does provide a venue to suit, but all in all I still hoped people enjoyed being there, and got more out of it than a ticket stub.  I know I had my fair share of enjoyment.

[Unico]

Well I didn’t want to really lock in a schedule for things as different people had different interest in shows they might like to see and things that they might want to do otherwise.
