TBA Big Surprise involving the number 14 (Trivia Area/Main Area)
We’re not quite ready to announce this one yet, but when you think of the number 14 what pops into mind?
Plus more stuff for kids to do, a few scavenger hunts for kids and adults, and more to come!
Then after the event, McFadden’s will be hosting an after-party. Details on that to come!
Don’t you think allowing people to buy QBC tickets in advance of the general public is enough? Do they really have to be discounted too?
It’s like other fans paying a penalty for not attending the calendar party
Well no, we just want to move some tickets while there is a concentrated group of fans…and the more money in-hand the more we can reinvest to get Player X to come by.
I’m interested in attending, will you be setting up an internet buying option soon? Thanks.
Yeah, I just have to test it and didn’t get to finsh that project last night.
Wow theres room for all that stuff at McFaddens? Ive been in there before but it didnt seem THAT big….sounds fun though. ..my kid is gonna rock the kids trivia!
We scouted it out Tuesday night. It will work. Also this event is going to sell out so get the tickets before they do!
totally get the $ in hand piece. the discount in addition to early access seems so Mets-ian
Why no online presale for those who don’t want to go to the 7 line party? Will ticket prices for after pre sale be more than $30?
Tickets will be $35 for 13 and over, $10 for 12 and under.
As for the pre-sale question – we just decided to do a presage tonight. No real rhyme or reason.
No real rhyme or reason. Then we get angry with the team when they don’t think things through.
