To qualify for a group discount, the following criteria must be met:

  • The group must designate one person to pick up the tickets for the entire group. Tickets will not be held at the registration desk for distribution to individual members of the group.
  • A group registration must be pre-paid, using only one check or credit card at the time the registration form is submitted.
  • All members of a group must purchase a ticket for the same day or days. For example, all tickets must be for the full weekend, for Saturday only, etc.
  • Postmark deadline for group registrations is September 16, 2019.Group discounts are not allowed for on-site registrations.
