Some of these advance discount ticket prices provides up to 50% savings vs the higher ticket prices at the gate on show day. When we see we are reaching the limit on these advance sale discount tickets, we do have to raise the ticket price. It could happen at anytime, based on sales. That is why we encourage our ticket customers to purchase their discounted tickets early & take advantage of these excellent early bird discount ticket savings.
