2008 TICKET PRICE STRUCTURE

Did you know that the first 10,000 tickets are sold at below the cost per person to produce the event?

Please help our community and do your part: buy tickets at the highest price level you can afford. When you buy a higher priced ticket it allows lower-income members of our community to purchase tickets at price levels they can afford.

The first three levels of tickets are SOLD OUT.

Fourth Level:
All tickets are now $295, while supplies last

• Available through the Internet Sales and Walk-in Outlets ONLY
