Waiting for the Opening, NTIF 2010
Prices increase, but so do the discounts.
We recognize that these are still tough times financially for many families, including our own staff and volunteers, so this year we are again doing everything possible to provide discount tickets to our loyal visitors. However, costs are increasing every year.
Although we have raised the nominal Saturday ticket price this year to $20, we are discounting prices at our two advanced sales outlets, Tom Thumb and this online site. Buy your ticket ahead of time and we will cut the price of the Saturday ticket back to $15. What can be better than that? Our Sunday ticket remains at $15, but even that you can get at Tom Thumb or online for a $2 discount.
Buy weekend passes and save even more. And remember, we still give free admission to children 11 and under when accompanied by an adult family member.
6:00 pm to 7:00 pm - Free - yes, arrive early and stay all night for absolutely nothing. Anyone in line at 7:00 pm is allowed in free.
After 7:00 pm - $10, but there will be 50% discount coupons available in local newspapers and on this site hidden in (not very) secret places.
Daily ticket - $20
Discount tickets at $14 available at Tom Thumb in February or online at any time.
Daily ticket - $15
Discount tickets at $14 available at Tom Thumb in February or online at any time.
Saturday and Sunday, two-day ticket - $25 - that's a saving of $10 off posted price.
Wekend pass - $30 - that's a saving of $15 off the posted price.
The Weekend Pass is the best deal. With this you get up to 18 hours of top quality music, dance and storytelling plus plenty of time to eat, drink and shop at over 250 arts and crafts shops. That is less than the price of the cheapest Cowboys ticket for just a 3 hour show!
Weekend passes available online or at the gate.
Children 11 and under free (when accompanied by an adult family member).
SCMA Members get a two-for-one on a daily ticket, two day ticket or weekend ticket purchased at the gate.
Seniors over 65 and serving military (with valid military ID) - $5 off any daily ticket.
Leprechauns (in full ceremonian dress and carrying pot of gold) - Free!
Of course, the best deal of all is to be an NTIF volunteer - work one shift and spend the rest of the day on us!
NTIF is a pet friendly festival. In fact we have assisted in adopting out over 500 animals during our last 30 events. Most pets will be permitted entry for a nominal $1 donation that goes to a selected pet adoption agency. However, reptiles, birds, tarantulas and other pets that may disturb guests are not permitted. All pets, including Wombats, must be kept on a short leash at all times.
Tickets will be on sale at all gates during the following hours:
