Is it possible to go to a workshop but not purchase a day pass?

Also, does a day pass come with a raffle ticket or how much will they be?

You need to purchase a day pass or a 2 day pass if you attend a workshop.

Raffles tickets are

5 for $5
25 for $20
65 for $50

and at this point one is not included.

Thanks
