Is the BOGO deal for this coming weekend only for adult admission or for kids also?
So sorry to take so long to reply. It does say adults only in the post.
No teacher discounts?
Under the city discounts, is it supposed to say October 6-6 or is that a typo?
Do you bring the 5 non-perishable food items to the admissions desk at the festival? Is the deal BOGO free?
I am a senior citizen does that take on line tickets down 3$ for us?
Not that I found.
Sorry. Should be 6-8. Thanks!
I assume you drop them off when you buy your tickets. Yes, it’s BOGO free through Sept. 16.
Sorry. It doesn’t look like it.
how do you qualify for the student discount at the gate? do you just bring your school id?
Lee – we’re not tied to the festival organizers so we recommend you reach out directly to the Ren Fest team to confirm. Thanks for reading KC on the Cheap!
