BreyerFest 2020: What Is Going To Happen and What We Already Know

BreyerFest 2020: What Is Going To Happen and What We Already Know

On April 13, we all received an email, a post, and a video that stated that BreyerFest would be moved to a virtual event. Many complaints, compliments, and more has surfaced since then, but here at Road To BreyerFest quickly jumped into action to field questions, find answers, and more. So now we will reveal all that we know, what we do not know, and what we are waiting on answers for right now.

First, BreyerFest is NOT canceled. That is right, it is not actually canceled. However, it has been moved to a virtual event so that everyone will remain safe during this unprecedented situation and now many more people can attend that have not been able to attend in the past. What does that mean for you? You might want to purchase your ticket as quickly as possible as they can and will sell out. Right now, we know that tickets will NOT be sent and will be a virtual type ticket. We also do not know about the Children’s ticket and if that means that you will be able to purchase the models with a Children’s ticket if you do not have an Adult ticket. Adult tickets will have bonuses that the Children’s Tickets do not have. We have been asked to wait for at least 3 to 5 days before we call them with questions and my personal emails have not been answered yet. So, our best advice about the Children’s Ticket questions is to just wait a bit and we will address it when Breyer has hammered out their details a little bit more.

If you do not want to participate in a virtual BreyerFest, that is alright as well. However, you will need to contact Breyer’s Customer Service as Road To BreyerFest is a fan site as we have no way to help you there sadly. That being said, there are two options that have never been available in the past. You will be able to roll your tickets over to 2021 or you can request a full refund. Again, we would wait a few days to allow Breyer to start working on their system to set all of this up as the switch over to virtual could take a toll on their servers and phone lines since most people are working out of their home. Please be patient as I am sure that everything will be worked out. As for parking passes, these will automatically be refunded since they are not needed. Lounge tickets will be refunded as well, some have already been processed.

Three Day Ticket Early Bird Special has been extended to April 30^th in order to make up a bit for what has happened and it is suggested to purchase your tickets early to take advantage of this as well as make sure that you get your tickets for purchasing models.

The Live Shows are being worked on to take a virtual aspect, however if you do not wish to participate in a virtual model horse show, they are looking to roll over your entry to 2021. Make sure that you read the email from Michelle Masters that was sent to your email account for more information as the Admin Team of Road To BreyerFest does not currently Live Show, but we have shared the email that had been posted by a member.

Breyer has announced that there will be extra events that three day ticket holders will have access to during the Virtual Event. This will include videos of the horses that were to attend, interviews with the owners of the horses, and so much more. We do not know exactly what is in the works, however we are all excited to see what Breyer has to announce. Road To BreyerFest will also have their own events to add this all of this excitement as we are trying to make this virtual experience memorable and all year long right now!

Breyer has stated that you will be receiving your Celebration Model sent to your home with your other purchased models. We do not know about the Single Day Models, but I am sure that we will be getting an update soon about that as well. As for the rest of the unknown, all details will be posted in May and rest assured that we will share that with you as soon as it is released. We also do not know exactly how the Live Auction Models and the Raffle Models will work, however Breyer has said that they will continue to happen so we will share that information as soon as it is released!

Make sure to read the files to start planning for next year, see the prices for the previous years as prices for this year have not been released yet, and join in our excitement as we wait for the rest of the models to be released!

A recap of what was posted from Breyer:

BreyerFest Ticket Update!

Many of our fans have been asking for clarification about their tickets for our virtual BreyerFest 2020 Celtic Fling event.  We will have several options available to you. If you purchased 3-Day tickets already, they will automatically convert into a virtual BreyerFest ticket with all the benefits you expect and more!
As a 3-Day ticket holder, you will still receive this year’s Celebration model, shipped to your home, be able to purchase Special Runs, have insideraccess to all BreyerFest content, and some other special benefits we are working on.  You’ll be able to take part in special raffles and contests, shop the BreyerFest pop-up store, watch equestrian performances and interviews with horse owners and artists, and so much more!
Only 3-Day ticket holders will have the opportunity to purchase Special Run models, and as usual, there are a limited number of 3-Day tickets available to purchase. Just like at BreyerFest, these Special Runs will be sold in a similar format with a random number draw and specific access time blocks.  More information to come on that!  We have a lot of details to work out.
The other options you have will include the ability to exchange your ticket for a 2021 BreyerFest ticket, and you may also request a refund. Please be aware that there will be a limited number of tickets available for the event, and if you request a refund now and choose to repurchase tickets later, availability is not guaranteed. We have also extended our Early Bird pricing through Thursday, April 30^th.
We are working out all the details now, and will provide more complete information at the beginning of May.
