Do you have to buy a ticket in advance or can you pay at the door?

 

[NancyC]

If you want to attend the Saturday night social then advanced tickets are required. All other tickets will be sold at the door. The workshops that are being offered have limited space available so if you are interested you can pay for those on the website as well.

Will there be a certain time for buying/selling frags? By the schedual of events on the site, it doesn't specify that.

Thanks,
Rich

The trade show and frag swap are open from 9-5 Saturday and 9-3 on Sunday. I thought the information was up but it looks like it is not. I will get it updated.

Thanks

Good News,

We got some new information from the Clocktower that we can accept people to the Saturday Night Social until the day of the event. We have reopened the shopping carts if you would like to preregister for the event.

We will close the carts for good on Friday the 24th.

We still have plenty of room for fraggers. We have 15+ already!

There will be plenty of coral to choose from. Come on out and pick up some nice pieces for your tanks
