FAQS
ARE THERE ID REQUIREMENTS OR AN AGE LIMIT TO ENTER THE EVENT?
Yes, you should bring valid ID to the event. Also, if you are a
student and you purchased discounted tickets, you should bring your
valid student ID. Valid student ID should not have been expired. There
are no age limits. However, we require you to take proper actions to
keep the environment quiet for the event.
WHAT ARE MY TRANSPORT/PARKING OPTIONS FOR GETTING TO THE EVENT?
Free CMU parking is available for use. There are also parking spots in
streets around the venue. Numerous bus lines are also available that
you can use to go to the venue.
WHAT CAN/CAN'T I BRING TO THE EVENT?
You can bring water and soda for yourself. Due to university law,
alcoholic beverages are prohibited on campus and action may be taken
by university campus police.
WHERE CAN I CONTACT THE ORGANIZER WITH ANY QUESTIONS?
You can contact US through: isa.ptgh@gmail.com
IS MY REGISTRATION/TICKET REFUNDABLE?
No, unfortunately, we do not do refunds unless there is a system
glitch.
CAN I REQUEST A REFUND IF I COULDN'T ATTEND THE EVENT?
Unfortunately, we are not able to process any refund. Moreover,
Eventbrite does not allow us to refund tickets after the event.
IS MY REGISTRATION/TICKET TRANSFERRABLE?
Yes, we allow transfer tickets but we can't offer to introduce any
potential buyers. However, you can use our groups or page on facebook
for this purpose.
I'M ALUMNI OF PITT/CMU/OTHER UNIVERSITIES. CAN I PURCHASE STUDENT
TICKETS?
Unfortunately no. The cost of a ticket is determined by the exact cost
for each person based on the estimated number of attendees. The
student tickets are discounted using the student organization's budget
allocated each year from the student activities fee paid by the
students each semester.
CAN I UPDATE MY REGISTRATION INFORMATION?
Please contact Eventbrite for this manner; However, what we really
care about is your full name to be as it is on your ID, and your email
to be correct.
CAN I BRING KIDS TO THE EVENT?
Yes! Children are welcome to the event. Tickets for children Under 3
years old are free if they don't need a seat, and tickets for children
age 3-7 years old are the same as a student price.
IS THERE ANY PLACE TO PURCHASE ALCOHOL AT THE VENUE?
Unfortunately, due to campus rules, we can't provide alcohol.
WHY DO YOU HAVE EARLY BIRD TICKETS AND LATE FEE TICKETS?
The reason we have two different tickets is the followings:
1. The main reason is that we are trying to promote the early
purchase. We prefer that everyone buy their tickets, but, having the
numbers earlier helps us reduce waste and costs.
2. We have to submit our request for facilities such as tables and
chairs to the university 10 days before the event to
ensure we have enough seating. Also, some of our purchases are over
the internet and we have to make sure they arrive on time.
WHAT IS THE COST OF THE EVENT AND WHY ARE STUDENT TICKETS MUCH
CHEAPER?
This year's event cost is $48.94 per person. The reason the student
tickets are significantly cheaper is that we use student budgets to
pay for the remaining portion. These student organization budgets are
provided by the university from the student activity fees that
students pay each semester.
