Let's Talk BreyerFest... Ticket Information, That Is!

 Let’s Talk BreyerFest...Tickets, that is!

Breyer released their ticket information and it has caused some chaos to say the least. However, I will be going over the information released about them here in this post. Please remember that with Breyer, anything is never set in stone unless it happens so these could potentially change and I will then update the information then.
First, BreyerFest is a hybrid event. This means that there is an in person portion and a virtual portion. For the most part, everything will be the same between the two, meaning that the equine demonstrations will be the same and the content will be available to everyone. Tickets will not be going on sale until early 2022. However, there is one glaring difference that seems to be attracting attention. The virtual attendees are not able to purchase Special Run Models. However, they are able to purchase the Limited Edition Models and other models available during BreyerFest. There are many opinions on this limitation, however they will not be allowed in this post as I am here to bring information and answer questions based on the information that we know so far. Comments will be heavily monitored.
In Person Event Ticket Information
The first type of ticket that we have for the in person event is the VIP ticket. This ticket was introduced in 2021 and presented the buyer with the ultimate BreyerFest experience. For 2022, it seems that it will be making a return for the same price and nearly the same abilities. This ticket has a base price of $230 and you are able to purchase two Special Runs and two Limited Editions at the time of buying your ticket. Right now, we have no information on how we will be able to purchase these tickets or how limited they will be. So, at the time of purchase, your ticket will be over $400 at the time of purchase. I hear you know, but Rachel, what comes with this ticket? With the VIP Ticket, you will receive one Celebration Horse (Nikolas the German Riding Pony), one set of the Event Stablemates, a parking pass, the ability to purchase two Special Runs in advance (as mentioned above), the ability to pay for two Limited Editions in advance (as mentioned above), access to attend in person workshops (for an added fee), access to participate in the live model horse shows (for an added fee), access to participate in the contests, access to shopping on site, access to all three days of the event, and access to virtual content. Remember that this is for an in person event.
The next type of ticket is the All Access Ticket. Debuted in 2021, this $80 ticket option gives you access to all three days of the event, one Celebration Horse, access to purchase up to two Special Run models per ticket purchased, access to purchase the Limited Editions, access to the in person workshops (for an added fee), access to participate in the live model horse shows (for an added fee), access to participate in the contests, and access to the virtual content.
The last ticket option available to those that are attending the in person event is the General Admission ticket. This $25 ticket allows you to have access to all three days of the event, one RANDOMLY selected Event Stablemate, access to purchase the Limited Editions, and access to the virtual content.
Remember that with each ticket, you have access to the Kentucky Horse Park, access to the sales that happen during the event, access to the Breyer Store on site, and so much more that has not even been announced yet. I am almost certain that you will be able to purchase all of the Limited Editions, if you have a VIP Ticket, so do not worry about that (I do have a question in to Breyer about that).
With the In Person Tickets, you will be receiving a Ticket Book in the mail. If you are an International attendee, you will not receive the Ticket Book in the mail, but will need to pick this up at Will Call during the Event.
Virtual Event Ticket Information
Now we move on to what will be available for those that are looking towards the virtual event. Back in 2020, Breyer stated that they would always keep a virtual component to BreyerFest, so this is what we are seeing now. Remember that this is the first year (other than 2020 and 2021) that it has ever been offered so I am sure that it will evolve in time.
The first ticket type that will be offered is the Online Traditional Ticket. This $55 ticket option comes with one Celebration Horse (Nikolas the German Riding Pony), access to purchase the Limited Editions, access to model horse photo shows (for an added fee), access to participate in the contests, and more virtual content.
The second ticket type that will be offered is the Online Stablemate Ticket. This $25 ticket option comes with the Event Stablemates (I have a question into Breyer about the wording of this option), access to purchase the Limited Editions, and access to more virtual content.
The virtual event tickets do not allow the purchaser to purchase the Special Runs that will be available for the event, however you are able to purchase the Limited Edition models that will be available.
With the Virtual Event Tickets, you will not be receiving any tickets mailed to you. Your Breyer account will be your ticket, so if you have not already made a free Breyer account, you will need to do so to purchase your ticket.
So, in conclusion, this is all of the information that has been revealed about BreyerFest 2022 Tickets. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to information so hang in there Roadies, there will be a LOT more information coming soon. I hope that this information has helped you a bit.
Reminder: Comments about the tickets that are not asking questions directly related to them will be deleted with no warning. This is NOT a place for discussion at this time, especially if it trends negative. Thank you for understanding.
