Ticketing Procedures

General admission tickets will go on sale Monday, August 15th, 2011 @ Noon. Regular: $65, Designated Driver: $35.

A limited number of tickets are available before August 15th through the purchase of a Reuse Enthusiast Sponsorship package.  This $140 sponsor package includes: a Big Pour ticket, a Big Pour T-shirt, a $25 CJ gift certificate, name recognition in the event program, and everything else you get with general admission.  That's big!  Thank you!  The opportunity to purchase this sponsorship package will be available until Sunday, August 14th at Midnight.  Act now!

Tickets will be available through ShowClix.  Please click the "Buy Tickets" button to the left or the ShowClix logo or call ShowClix at 1 (888) 71-TICKETS to purchase tickets (once tickets go on sale of course).

Tickets will be delivered via email and will contain a bar code that will be scanned at the gate to allow entry.  Please print each ticket only once.  Electronic tickets printed more than once will not allow additional entry per ticket.  Once presented at the gate, your ticket will be scanned and immediately become invalid.  For this reason, we do not recommend the purchase of tickets through any source other than ShowClix. 

We also recommend that you purchase your tickets without delay as the Big Pour is sure to sell out very quickly.

 

Policy with Regard to Children & ID Checks

Please bring your photo ID.  Indentification, as mandated by state law, will be required to enter.  You must be 21 or older.  This applies to designated drivers as well.  Children of any age, even newborns, are not permitted to attend the Big Pour (also mandated by state law).
