Tickets: The ticket price is $25 for the entire festival. That gets you into both nights. You won't receive a physical ticket-- there will be a list of names at the door so people can "check in" during the show and get a pass for the festival at the hotel. You can purchase more than 1 ticket at a time, and enter the names of everyone during the checkout. All children 12 and under can enter free with a parent or guardian. It is not necessary to order a ticket or provide the name for a child-- they will be allowed in at the festival as long as they are with their parent or guardian.
