BreyerFest 2020 RECAP

Road To BreyerFest

BreyerFest 2020 Information Recap


Tickets:

Tickets were offered in several different categories this year and all of them have their highlights.


Adult Three Day Tickets were the absolute highest level of access for this Virtual BreyerFest. They offered a Celebration Model, Access to purchase Special Run Models, Access to purchase ONE Breyer Warehouse Grab Bag per ACCOUNT, Access to purchase Store Specials and Fling! Pop Up Shop Models, Access to Behind the Scenes tours at the Kentucky Horse Park and other various Horse Farms, Access to virtual interviews and performances by Guest Horses, Access to the Celebration Of Horses Evening Performance by Silvia Zerbini and the Celebration of Horses Performers, Access to the virtual Workshops, Access to the virtual seminars, Access to the virtual Equus Film Festival, $20 in Free Raffle Tickets, $10 coupon for BreyerFest Swag, Access to the virtual Live Show, and more.


Child Three Day Tickets were the next tier and offered much of the same of what the Adult Ticket had to offer. They included Access to purchase the Special Runs, Access to purchase Store Specials and Fling! Pop Up Shop models, Access to Behind The Scenes tours, Access to the virtual interviews and performances by the Guest Horses, Access to the Celebration of Horses Evening Performance by Sylvia Zerbini and the Celebration of Horses Performers, Access to the virtual workshops, Access to the virtual seminars, Access to the virtual Equus Film Festival, and more. This ticket level did NOT include everything that the Adult Three Day Ticket included.


Celebration Tickets are the next step down and were new this year. Offered after May 1st, these tickets allowed those that purchase them to receive the Celebration Horse, Access to purchase the Store Specials and the Fling! Pop Up Shop Models, Access to the virtual Workshops, Access to the virtual seminars, Access to the virtual Equus Film Festival, Access to the virtual Live Show, Access to behind the scenes tours, Access to the virtual interviews and performances by the Guest Horses, Access to the virtual Celebration of Horses Performance, and more. This level did NOT allow you to purchase the Special Runs.


The last Ticket option was the Single Day Tickets. These tickets were offered in either a Single Day option where you purchased your tickets and received the Stablemate model at random or a 4 Pack which allowed you to get all four of the Stablemates that were offered. The 4 pack sold out within hours, but still allowed you the same type of access that the Single Day Tickets allowed for all three of the days. The Single Day tickets allowed Access to purchase Store Specials and Fling! Pop Up Shop models, Access to the virtual Seminars, Access to the virtual Equus Film Festival, Access to virtual interviews and performances by Guest Horses, and more. This type of ticket does NOT allow much of what the Three Day Tickets offers as it is a lower tier of ticket type. The 4 pack of tickets still allows you the same access of the Single Day Tickets, but for all three days.


Reminder that you absolutely need to have an active Breyer website account to participate in the Virtual BreyerFest! This is NOT something that Road To BreyerFest can help you with. You will need to call Breyer Customer Service to have them help you set this up.


To check your ticket days or time slots, you will need to log into your Breyer Website account and go to the Account Details page. Scroll down to where you purchased your tickets (I normally look at prices) and click on the order number. That will then pull up the page with those details and it will say what day and time your Special Run Time Slot is for or what day your Single Day Ticket is on.


Models:


There are several types of models that are available at all BreyerFests and this year is no different in that regard. Exactly where they are located on the website will be announced at a later date.


Celebration Horse: Ballynoe Castle RM, an Irish Sport Horse on the Show Jumping Warmblood mold. He is free to ALL Three Day Ticket Holders.


Single Day Stablemates: Jersey the walking Thoroughbred, Orkney the Palomino Pinto Clydesdale, Skye the Morgan, and Arran the bay roan pony. These stablemates are free to all SINGLE DAY TICKET HOLDERS. Unless you purchased a 4 pack, the Stablemate that is sent to you is Gambler’s Choice, this means a randomly selected model.


Special Runs Models: These 9 models are ONLY available to Adult and Child Three Day Ticket Holders. They require a Special Run Ticket to purchase and these tickets went off sale in May.


Store Special Models: These 3 models are available to ALL ticket holders. Located in the Breyer Store at a normal BreyerFest, these models are always portraits of Guest Horses.


Fling! Pop Up Shop Models: Also known as the Tent Models, these 5 models are available to ALL ticket holders. Located in the Pop Up Tents at a normal BreyerFest, these models are always related to the actual theme of the event.


Where the models will actually be located in the Virtual BreyerFest is not something that we all know just yet, but that information is coming soon. As soon as we know exactly where it is located, we will share a link with the group.


Buying Models:


Special Runs: On June 1st, there was an email sent out that asked for your Preference List. This List was just an insight to help Breyer understand which models appealed to you more than others. The virtual line is being ran the exact same way that the line at the event is ran. It is all based on luck and where you are in the line. If you did NOT send in a Preference List, you WILL still receive models when your time slot is up, they will just be at random. During BreyerFest, you absolutely do NOT have to be on the computer or whatever you access the Breyer website from all day long. If you are only wanting to purchase the Special Runs (Store Special purchasing will be down below), you will receive an email when your models are available to purchase. They can remain in your cart for up to 24 hours and you absolutely do NOT need to buy them if you do not want to. Remember that you cannot change them at all, the ones that are on your page are the only ones that you will receive. If you do not receive an email, you will be able to access the page to purchase them at your time slot only.


Store Special Models: These models are available to ALL ticket holders and will be available in the Breyer Store during the Virtual BreyerFest. There will likely be a button to click that will take you there so you will not need to search for it. Road To BreyerFest will also provide a link once it is revealed. These models will NOT sit in your cart for the 24 hours that your Special Runs do. Store Specials can and do sell out so purchase these soon. You can purchase one of each per ticket per day. If you have one ticket, then you can purchase one of each Store Special on that day.


Fling! Pop Up Shop Models: These models are available to ALL ticket holders and will be available during the Virtual BreyerFest. Their location is NOT exact just yet, but the link will be shared as soon as it is available. Purchasing these models is the exact same way that you purchase the Store Special Models. One of each kind per ticket per day.


Adult Three Day Ticket Warehouse Grab Bag: These are offered to the ADULT THREE DAY TICKET holders ONLY. We are not sure how long they will be available, but they are limited to ONE PER ACCOUNT ONLY! There will be different price points and each one offers models that go with that price, but which ones exactly are a mystery until you open them.
