Pick Ups

 Let's Talk BreyerFest...How To Work These Pick Ups, That Is! (Repost)

Roadies,

While I say no sales or trades in this group, there are many of you that cannot physically make it to BreyerFest so you need someone to pick up those awesome models for you. Hopefully you have found someone and either you or they are now wondering how they are going to go about this pick up business.

The thing this year is that they are operating the tickets completely differently than they have in the past and that is perfectly alright. Maybe this will work out for the best and this will become the new standard, but who knows! This year is all about new changes to BreyerFest and I, for one, am living for them! So let's get into how to do pick ups with the tickets:

VIP Tickets:

With the VIP Tickets, the Special Runs and two of the Limited Editions are already paid for. So, for those that are doing pick ups for this ticket, your job is incredibly easy. First, you will need the tickets of the VIP Ticket Holder. The main ones that you are going to be needing are the following: The Celebration Horse Model Redemption Ticket, the Full Set of Event Stablemates Redemption Ticket, the Special Run Redemption Tickets, the Limited Edition Redemption Tickets, and the Swag Box Redemption Ticket. That is all of the things that come with the VIP Ticket that you will need in order to pick up these models.

Tickets are only sent to those that reside in the Domestic US, so if the person that you are picking up the models for lives in any other location, you will need to also pick up their tickets at Will Call. Right now, Breyer has not actually said what specifically they will be asking for when you go to pick up the tickets, so I am telling everyone to be uber prepared. Make sure that you have the full name on the account, the Ticket Order Number which can be found on the Account Details Page, and a printed out version of the Ticket Purchase Receipt. They have said that they will not be asking for ID, so that is great for those doing pickups.

You will be paying for any more Limited Editions that you want at the event, so if the VIP Ticket Holder that you are doing pick ups for want more than just those two models, you will need to gather payment from them or work out the small details. There are several locations to ship models from in Georgetown Ky and Lexington Ky, including a UPS Kiosk at the Covered Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park.

All Access Tickets:

These tickets are going to be similar to the VIP Tickets above, but also very different. So let's get into it: With the All Access Ticket, you will get one Celebration Horse Model Redemption Ticket and two Special Run Reservation Tickets if you purchased the tickets on or before May 22nd or two Special Run Tickets if you purchased your tickets on or after May 23rd. The Reservation Tickets are which models that were selected for the account that you are doing pick ups for. You need those in order to purchase the Special Runs. You will need the Special Run Tickets to purchase the Special Runs as well. The Special Run Line will open up around 2 PM EDT on Sunday to ticket holders. Now, the pick up process for these Special Runs is very specific:

Special Run Reservation Tickets: Those with the Special Run Reservation Tickets will go to the assigned tent and present the tickets. The BreyerFest employee/volunteer will take the ticket and present you with the Special Run that was on that ticket. You will then pay for those Special Runs. Remember that you will have two of these Special Run Reservation Tickets per one All Access Ticket.

Special Run Tickets: These tickets will allow you to go through the Special Run Line and purchase Special Runs from the REMAINING STOCK on hand. Yes, that does mean that some of the Special Runs could be sold out at that time. No, it does not mean that they are all sold out of all of the models. The BreyerFest employee/volunteer will let you know which models are available and which models are not available.

Tickets are only sent to those that reside in the Domestic US, so if the person that you are picking up the models for lives in any other location, you will need to also pick up their tickets at Will Call. Right now, Breyer has not actually said what specifically they will be asking for when you go to pick up the tickets, so I am telling everyone to be uber prepared. Make sure that you have the full name on the account, the Ticket Order Number which can be found on the Account Details Page, and a printed out version of the Ticket Purchase Receipt. They have said that they will not be asking for ID, so that is great for those doing pickups.

You will be paying for the Special Runs at the event, so make sure that you are aware of that detail and get the money, if you are doing the pick ups, or send the money if you are having pick ups done for you. There are several locations to ship models from in Georgetown Ky and Lexington Ky, including a UPS Kiosk at the Covered Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park.

General Access Tickets:

These tickets only come with one Event Stablemate Model Redemption Ticket and the access to purchase Limited Editions during the event so you will not be receiving Special Runs or Special Run Reservation Tickets.

A Small Note: All BreyerFest Times are approximate. They have ran late in previous events, but I always state the time announced by Breyer.

I hope that this helps!
