Where can I buy tickets?
We have two ticket options available for attendees.
The first is a $50 ticket for attendees that will be staying the night and eating with the group. This ticket includes a spot for you to camp with us and will cover the cost of meals for the weekend.
The second is a $25 ticket for those that either live nearby or that will be staying at another location. This ticket will not include group meals. These ticket holders should expect to bring their own food for the weekend.
If you plan on bringing a guest (attendees are limited to two each), you will need to purchase the appropriate tickets for them as well. We highly recommend coming alone as this event is meant for adults in the content creation space.
All tickets are nonrefundable and cannot be transferred.
