From the Organizers:
...because it’ll be a whole year before there’s another weekend like this!
Tip 1: Skim the schedule to find authors you love or topics you’re interested in. That’s the scaffolding of your weekend. Note if they require paid admission (indoor sessions do; Chronicle Stage and kids’ stuff don’t).
Tip 2: Decide on one of two easy options for those sessions: whether to get priority tickets or a general admission wristband.
If you want to make sure you can get into a session, get a priority ticket. Arrive 10 minutes before session start time.
If you’re more flexible and hope to attend more than two sessions, get the wristband—only $15 for access to all sessions all weekend. Caveat: general admission line is honored after priority ticketholders. The door staff (and box offices) will have up-to-the-second info about remaining capacity and will keep the line informed.
To maximize the weekend: Get two tickets for the sessions you want most, plus a wristband so you can roam the rest.
Trick: If you’re in the general admission line and hear that a session is filling up, buy a ticket on the spot on your phone via Eventbrite.
Tip 3: Get tickets or wristband now to make sure you’re in and save time. Just bring the Eventbrite receipt to the venue.
Tip 4: Or, for you non-planners, on the festival days go to one of three box offices to get your tickets and wristband. Or get a wristband at any venue.
STUDENTS: Show your valid ID (includes if you graduated in May) at any venue or box office, and get a free wristband!
Tip 5: Allow enough time between sessions to cruise the amazing array of literary exhibitors!
