TICKET FAQs:

How much are tickets?

Premium gala tickets (open only to Designated REALTORS® and/or managing brokers begining Monday, January 20, 2020 at 9:00 a.m.) are $900 for a table of 10. Brokers will only be able to purchase tables during this time (limit 4 per brokerage).

General admission tickets (open Monday, February 3, 2020 at 9 a.m.) are $75 per seat or $750 for a table. 

Can I purchase tickets in person or over the phone?

The preferred method for purchasing tickets is through Eventbrite. This method provides the quickest way to purchase your tickets and select your seats.

PLEASE NOTE: The mobile version of Eventbrite will not allow you to select specific seats. We recommend completing your order on a desktop/laptop computer.

If you are unable to purchase tickets online, you may call 208-947-7236 and leave a voicemail with your name, number, and the number of tickets you would like to secure. Calls will be returned in the order received. Please note that purchasing via phone will not be faster or ensure better seats than purchasing online through Eventbrite. Leaving a message DOES NOT guarantee your order will be fulfilled. If tickets sell out before we are able to return your message, then your order will not be completed. Additionally, if you do not answer the phone when we return your call, we’ll call again when we’re able to.

THERE WILL BE NO IN PERSON TICKET SALES.

I need to purchase multiple tables, is there a maximum number of tickets I can purchase per transaction?

The Eventbrite ticketing system can process a maximum of 100 tickets (10 tables) per transaction. If you need more than 100 tickets you will have to make two separate transactions.

Can I add an extra seat to my table?

Unfortunately, no. Due to the size of the event, we are unable to add extra seats to any of the tables. Through the ticket selection process you are able to select seats for your attendees at a neighboring table, if available.

What is the refund policy?

Tickets are non-refundable but they are transferable.

Is my ticket transferable?

Yes. Tickets are transferable.

What if I would like to sell my tickets to someone else?

If you have tickets you’d like to sell or transfer, either do so independently or post how many tickets you would like to sell and how others should contact you to our Gala Facebook Event.

Is there a waiting list for tickets?

If the event sells out before you are able to purchase your tickets, post your name, phone number, email address and number of tickets you are looking for in our Gala Facebook Event or peruse the other posts to see what others are currently selling.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

Yes. Tickets are required for admission.

For Gala check-in, we’ll be scanning tickets, so you’ll need a physical copy of your Gala ticket from Eventbrite.

Each individual will need their own ticket to get in. If your company bought multiple tickets, those need to be distributed to each attendee prior to the event. Keep in mind, once a ticket has been scanned, it cannot be used again.
