Saving You Money

This is important, unlike most of the crap I write here, so pay attention. Are you paying attention. Finish that donut, I'll wait.

Okay, good. Irish Fest opens a week from today. You need tickets. There's a change from last year on tickets that you need to be aware of. If you're buying your tickets online through our website, do before 5:00 PM on Friday, a week from today. Because if you don't and you wait until you're walking out the door on Saturday or Sunday you'll be paying an extra $5 per ticket.

In our long history we have never had a ticket price increase. Not one. Until this year. Booooo. Now I warned you about it last year, remember? I told you that with sponsor dollars becoming scarce and our cost of doing business ever increasing, the ticket price was going to increase and soon. Well, soon is here. Only it isn't, if you're smart and planning ahead. Until Friday at 5:00 that ticket is still the same old $10 it's always been. Or if you buy in advance at your local HyVee store, same deal. Just like old times, when gas was a nickel a gallon and you could buy a sandwich and a pair of shoes for $1.25. Or something. Anyway, if you come to the gate without a ticket, the price is $15. Which is still a bargain, to tell you the truth. But still. Be smart. Plan ahead. Buy now through our website with your credit card or pick up tickets at HyVee when you go in to buy Cocoa Puffs.

Got it? Good. Back to that donut.

Don't forget, also join the Snug on-line so you can get that Fest admission included. And the two-for-one Friday Snug with Fest admission deal? Only in advance through the website. Don't put it off, we're filling up!
