Let's Talk BreyerFest...Pick Ups, Model Locations, Full Set of Event Stablemates, That Is!

 Pick Ups

Hello Roadies! So while I do not allow pick up requests or offers here in the group, there are so many people that are interested in them. I have hinted at how they will work in the last three posts, but there is nothing like a direct post. I hope that this will help you!

Ticket Sales end on May 2nd at 5 PM EDT and the Preference List for All Access Ticket Holders will go out some time after that. You should have two weeks to fill out that list. You will be paying for your Special Runs before the event in July.

So, the VIP Ticket will allow for pick ups, if you are unable to actually get to the event in person. The person that is doing your pick ups for you will need you to mail the Ticket Book that comes with your VIP ticket to them. I highly suggest not changing the address and having it directly sent to them due to other issues that we have seen when this happens, especially if you are wanting to purchase the Online Only Limited Editions. International VIP Ticket Holders will need to have their Ticket Book picked up at Will Call, starting on Thursday July 14th. Your pick up person will need all of your account information, like your ticket order number, your full name, etc. See Guide about where to find your Ticket Order Number.

All Ticket Holders will be able to purchase the Limited Editions on the Breyer website during BreyerFest weekend.

You can also do Pick Ups with the All Access Ticket. This ticket does come with two Ticket Books though and can get a bit more tricky in the working it all out, but it is easy enough! With the All Access Ticket, you will get sent one Ticket Book that contains the admission wrist bands, the parking pass (if you purchased one- price is still not been announced), the Celebration Of Horses Evening Performance Ticket, the Celebration Horse Redemption Ticket. That all is the first Ticket Book. The second Ticket Book comes into play after the Special Run Preference List is done in May or June. This Ticket Book will only be available to pick up at Will Call starting on Thursday, July 14th. This is where your pick up person will need your account information, like your account number, your full name, etc.

So, yes, you can totally do pick ups with this type of ticket sales and Breyer did kinda cover it in their FAQs, but they kind of pushed it aside a bit, I guess hoping that you will come and not just do pick ups. But of course, I am totally guessing on that one, so don’t hold me to it! The rest of the information is correct as of right now. If it does change, I will make those changes.

Model Horse Pick Up Locations During BreyerFest

Hello once again! This post will go over where you will be able to purchase and pick up your models during BreyerFest weekend. This will also include shipping information.

First, make sure that you have a map handy of the Kentucky Horse Park, if you are not familiar with the area or this is your first time. You can find a map in the BreyerFest 2022 Prost! Models and More Album here in the group. Breyer also has it circled on their sample and I will be adding that to the Album as well.

Model Hand Out Tent

In Person Ticket Holders (VIP, All Access, and General Access) will be picking up their Event Models (Celebration Horse Model Nikolas for the VIP and the All Access Tickets, the Full Set of Event Stablemates for the VIP Tickets, and the randomly selected Event Stablemates for the General Access Tickets) at the Model Pick Up Tent that is located at the corner of Nina Bonnie Drive and Lee Cholak Drive. This is across from the Lunging Pads that are behind the Covered Arena and in front of the Barns where the horses are located. This is also where the All Access Ticket Holders and VIP Ticket Holders will be picking up their Special Runs Models.

VIP Tent

The VIP Tent is new this year and the location has NOT been announced yet. This is where the VIP Ticket Holders will go in order to pick up their Pre-ordered Limited Editions and their Swag Box.

In Person Limited Editions

This year, all of the Limited Editions (from the Portrait models to the Crystal and the rest of those awesome models) will be located in the BreyerFest Stores, while supplies last. At this time, it does not state how many of these stores that there will be or where their locations will be. These BreyerFest Stores will also contain Warehouse Finds, Event Swag (merchandise), and the Full Sets of Event Stablemates (Limited Supply.)

The Online BreyerFest Store

This year, all BreyerFest Ticket Holders (both in person and virtual) will be able to purchase Limited Editions from the BreyerFest Store online. This year, shipping is NOT free. The online BreyerFest Store will go live in the afternoon on Friday, July 15th There is no current set time on when that will be.

Shipping

This year, there is no special BreyerFest shipping rates at this time. The BreyerFest Blog states that shipping rates vary by location. Online Traditional and Online Stablemate Ticket Holders will have all of their Event Models and their purchased Limited Edition models sent to their location. I recommend making sure that your address is correct even now because they will be shipped to the address that Breyer has on file, as we saw for BreyerFest 2021.

Buying Limited Edition Models

No matter what type of ticket that you have, you will be able to purchase Limited Edition models. Limited Editions can and do sell out, however as we saw last year, with the raised numbers, these models did not sell out right away. So, I would just keep that as a reminder in the back of your mind. However, when you purchase Limited Editions during the event, no matter if you are purchasing in person or online, you are only able to purchase one Limited Edition of each kind during one transaction. You are more than welcome to make as many transactions as you want/can afford and you can purchase as many Limited Editions as you want/can afford, just keep in mind that you can only purchase one of each kind during one transaction. So here is a break down:

If you want two Rhenish Draft (the Online Only Limited Edition and the one that I am seeing is very much needed), you will need to buy one and pay for it and then buy the second one. But if you want only one Rhenish Draft and one Torelinie, then you are able to purchase both of them at the same time.

Virtual BreyerFest Veteran Tip: Buy your model and pay for it when you see it. While you may want to just add to your cart and pay at one time, this is a recipe to maybe see your items be “stolen” out of your cart. I know, shipping is not free or pro-rated this year, as far as we know, but this will help with hoping to not lose items. Of course, it could also be perfectly fine since the numbers have raised and I am just stressing for all of you to get the models that you want.

Full Sets of Event Stablemates

Hello and welcome back! This time, I am going to be going over the Full Set of Event Stablemates. This seems super popular this year and while Breyer has released their information, it is shrouded in mystery. I hope that I can help clear it up for you!

VIP Ticket Holders ($230 ticket) will get one Full Set of Event Stablemates with their VIP Ticket.

All Access Ticket holders ($80 ticket) will need to purchase a Full Set of Event Stablemates at the BreyerFest Stores during the in person event in July. There is a limited supply of these Full Sets and right now, the prices has not been announced. In the previous years, it has been $80 to $100.

General Access Ticket Holders ($25 ticket) will receive one randomly selected Event Stablemate for their Event Ticket. Buying more than one of these tickets will NOT guarantee you a Full Set like it did in the past. You will need to purchase a Full Set of Event Stablemates from the BreyerFest Stores at the in person event. The price has not been announced yet.

As of right now, the virtual event tickets, Online Traditional and Online Stablemate tickets, have not had any mention of the Full Set of Event Stablemates.
