Important Announcements about Firefly 2009!
==========================================
* NEW LOCATION of the event;
* NEW TICKETING process;
* Your VOLUNTEERING is NEEDED more than ever!
New Location:
------------
This year Firefly will be taking place in central Vermont, about 2.5 hours North of Boston. This is a new land, but we are optimistic about it based on what we've seen so far. It appears like it may be less muddy and otherwise not as rough on the event as we're used to by now. It is somewhat similar to the land from the first Firefly, for those of us who were there.
Please note that due to traffic and parking concerns with the new land:
* There is no re admittance to Firefly.
* Carpooling is highly encouraged.
Volunteering:
------------
Firefly is still run and organized by volunteers!
fireflyartscollective.org/tiki-index.php
Everything from managing ticket sales to wood gathering is up to the participants - THIS EVENT HAPPENS BECAUSE OF YOUR HELP. Please take a moment to think about how you will contribute this year. To get involved make contact through the Volunteer page above or email one of the group organizers. If in doubt, contact the volunteer coordinator at:
volunteer@fireflyartscollective.org.
Ticketing (NEW!):
----------------
Tickets are still $40/each and are only available before the event. There will not be any ticket sales at the gate. We are limiting sales to 3 tickets per person.
This year we will sell tickets in three blocks of 150, on three different days, at different times. We recognize that not everyone has access to the internet all day long, so hopefully this will give people with sporadic access a chance to get tickets, too. Here is the official release schedule for tickets:
* Thursday, May 28 - 8:00pm
* Friday, May 29 - Noon
* Saturday, May 30 - 10AM
Ticket Ordering Process:
-----------------------
To order tickets you must first register with a working email address and enter in your mailing information so we can mail you tickets. You can register when ticket sales begin, but we strongly recommend you pre-register beforehand, this way your ordering process will go smoother. Preregistration is open right now:
fireflyartscollective.org/ticketing/
Preregistering does not guarantee you a ticket - it will just speed up the process once the sales begin.
Note on the working email address requirement: We need a verified address to have a way to communicate with you before the event. Please note that all major email providers (like google, yahoo, etc.) filter their incoming messages for spam - and sometimes non-spam messages end up in your junk mail folder. We have found that Yahoo is the biggest culprit of both not delivering email or delaying its delivery. So please check your junk mail folder and white-list ticketing@fireflyartscollective.org if this is a problem. Normally, you should receive a confirmation message from us almost immediately.
Payment
-------
Firefly only accepts credit card payments through PayPal - other methods such as personal checks have proven to be a bigger headache than PayPal is. When ordering through PayPal we accept all major credit cards (Amex, Discover, Visa and Mastercard). You will also have the option of paying without needing to setup a PayPal account. Please do not try and order tickets by going directly to the PayPal site and sending us money. Ticket sales are through the Firefly web site only.
Children at Firefly
-------------------
Children and minors are allowed at Firefly. All participants over 2 years of age will need a ticket for admission. Anyone under 18 years of age must
be accompanied by an adult parent or adult legal guardian. Firefly is not necessarily a child friendly event - it is up to the parent or guardian to decide what is appropriate for their children to see and do. We ask that if you bring children, please act in a safe, sober, and responsible manner, and be aware of where they are at all times.
Learn about Firefly culture
---------------------------
Firefly is all about creating an experience for yourself and others. Please be sure you have read over the web site, especially the Event Guide fireflyartscollective.org/tiki-index.php so you have an understanding of the event and your role in it.
Now that you have read all that....
