to purchase a ticket online via Eventbrite. There is a waiver at the
checkout that each attendee needs to read and accept before you make
payment. Once this is completed you'll receive an email from
Eventbrite with your tickets. DO I NEED TO LIST EVERYONE IN MY GROUP
WHEN I BOOK? Yes! We cannot allow entry to any guest who does not have
a ticket in their name (including children) so please ensure that you
name everyone in your booking. If you don't know exactly who's coming
yet, or if you have a change of plans, you can change the name on any
of your tickets through Eventbrite. This must be done before you
arrive to avoid delays at check-in. CAN I BUY TICKETS IN PERSON?
Occasionally yes, but we strongly recommend booking online to
guarantee entry, as sessions are often booked out. Christmas is a busy
time of year and we don’t want you to make a wasted journey across
town if there are no tickets available! CAN I CANCEL OR CHANGE MY

happy to talk about your Christmas list and jump in a photo with you.
