Other than be there early, does anyone have any strategies about purchasing tickets?

[rhood]

Don't just get there early, get there first.

[gingersnap]

Ahhhh YES...I get that! Thanks!
I just find the whole procedure mind boggling! It would be so much easier if each event had a code number to order the tickets by. I have a strategy put together...I hope it works!

You do not have to get there early.... tickets for almost all activities can be purchased online at Home - The Villages Entertainment * Special Events * Box Office

Some appear to be available on line and others only through the box office.

Does online purchasing begin Thursday morning at 8:30 like box office? I'm new at this.

We're new at all this too and Bogie Shooter shared this site last year. There was no on line in 2014 that we saw. I'm going to check the site when I get up on Thursday morning. It appears to be very popular and things fill quickly.

I noticed last year some people listed their tickets on this forum when their plans changed and no longer needed the tickets. I plan to watch again this year for those ticket too.

Tickets available at all Box Office locations
and online (login required)!

I bought tickets for 12 activites on-line in 30 minutes at 8:30 this morning (when they went on sale). Eazy Pease and no standing in line!!

I bought 15 tickets online and it was quite nice. I got everything I needed.

We purchased what we needed as well! Felt like I was waiting for Rolling Stones concert tickets to go on sale! Had my iPad ready to go at 8:30.

Take a chair and lots of water. I was there last year to buy tickets not available online and waited nearly three hours. Hope it's better organized this year.

There was quite a bunch in their chairs @6:30 this morning in Brownwood--hope the 2 hr wait was successful

Hubby and I waited 2 hours this morning and still wasn't close to the front of the line in SL. I drove home ordered them on line, with an extra $3 charge per ticket, and went back to pick him up. Unreal.

I got there at 0705 and had my tickets at 0930. Sounds worse than it was. Beautiful morning and lots of nice Villagers. Brought a chair and was glad I did.

I thought TV did a great job with the forms they provided. Nicely organized. Can't wait for Bug College!
