Ignite Boise 04 Tickets

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

There are two types of tickets: “early admission” tickets and “speaker/volunteer/sponsor” tickets.

Early Admission Tickets. To get “early admission” tickets you needed request a ticket at this web page a few weeks ago. The 600 “early admission” tickets were all snatched up within a couple hours. If you are one of 600 who requested “early admission” tickets, this post on the blog discusses what you need to do next. If you can’t find your “early admission” ticket email, you may be able to have them resend it to you via: http://www.eventbrite.com/gettickets.

Speaker/Volunteer/Sponsor Tickets. Most of the remaining 150 tickets were set aside for speakers, volunteers, and sponsors. These tickets were distributed to the speakers/volunteers/sponsors already.

If you don’t have an Eventbrite ticket or speaker/vendor/sponsor ticket…you don’t have a ticket.

No Will Call. There is no “will call.” There is no “list.” You will need to show your ticket to get in the door. It is Earth Day…thus, feel free to show an electronic copy of your ticket on your smartphone if you want to “save a tree.”

What If I Forget My Ticket? If you forget…you’ll need to get in the “general admission” line. Sorry.

No Ticket? If you do not have an “early admission” ticket or a sponsor/speaker/volunteer ticket, you will need to wait in line at the door to get a seat. When 6:30 arrives, all tickets are null and void and we’ll open the doors for general admission (until we reach capacity). We don’t know if we’ll reach capacity or not…so the closer to the front of the line you are, the better your odds of getting a seat.

It’s gonna be a great show! See you there.

I got my tickets! …now what

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

We’re so excited that 600 tickets “sold out” in a few hours! We get a pretty consistent series of questions about tickets so here’s a quick rundown:

Where do I pick up my tickets/when do you mail out tickets?

You don’t/we don’t. Go to Eventbrite, log in and print out your tickets there.  Then just bring the print-out to the show.  There is no will-call; the Egyptian does not have your tickets.  The entire ticketing system is on Eventbrite (it’s pretty slick!).

I’m going to be a little late; can you hold my spot?

Sorry, but we can’t.  Tickets only hold your spot until 30 minutes prior to the show (i.e., 6:30).  After that, you can toss your ticket and just enter with the masses.  The catch is that if you do show up after 6:30 and the event is full, you’re out of luck even if you have a ticket.  So the moral of the story: get there early! Doors open an hour early (6:00) so come in, get some beer, wine, or other concessions and find your seat.  There is always plenty of mixing before and after the show so it doens’t hurt to come early.

I was mauled by a bear; how do I give up my ticket?

Sorry to hear that!  If you can’t make it to the event PLEASE let us know so that someone else can go in your place.  Once you give up your ticket, it becomes available for someone else via the Tickets page on this website.  We will tweet whenever a ticket becomes available, so if you didn’t get a ticket keep your eyes peeled for cancellations.
