WARNING- THIS IS A LONG POST. THIS POST CONTAINS ALL OF THE INFORMATION FOR EACH TICKET AVAILABLE FOR BREYERFEST AND GOES IN DEPTH ABOUT EACH ONE. WHEN THINKING ABOUT WHICH TICKETS THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO PURCHASE, THIS POST SHOULD HELP YOU DECIDE.
In Person Tickets
VIP Ticket
What does the VIP Ticket cost? It has a base price of $240, however you will be paying for 2 Special Runs and 2 Limited Editions at the time that you purchase your ticket so that the ticket final price ranges from $400 to over $500, depending on the models that you selected. You will be able to purchase more Limited Editions during the event at BreyerFest.
How many VIP Tickets can I buy? Last year, the VIP Ticket was limited to one per account/address, however that has changed for this year. This year, you are not limited in how many that you want to purchase, but you can only purchase two VIP tickets at a time. Remember that all BreyerFest tickets are limited, so they can sell out at any time. We do not know exactly how many tickets are made until Breyer releases that information.
Do I need to be a club member to buy this ticket? No, you do not need to be a club member to buy any BreyerFest ticket. However, you do need to have a Breyer account. This is a free account on the Breyer website and is used as your ticket for the online portion of BreyerFest.
What Event Models come with the VIP Ticket? Event Models are the models that come with tickets, they are not models that you can purchase, with exceptions that will be discussed in the All Access Ticket Post). The VIP Ticket comes with one Celebration Horse Model (this is the model of Anthenian Lady) and it comes with one full set of the Event Stablemates (this is the set of models that were shown right after New Years.).
How many Special Runs can I purchase with this ticket? You are able to purchase two Special Runs per ticket. Remember that the Surprise Special Run is still a Special Run, so it will take up one of your slots, if you want to purchase that one. You will be paying for the Special Runs at the same time that you purchase the ticket, so make sure that you know which Special Runs that you want before you purchase your ticket as you are not able to change your selections once you have purchased the ticket.
How many Limited Editions can I purchase with this ticket? You are able to select and purchase two of the Limited Editions when you purchase your ticket. However, you are able to purchase as many Limited Editions during BreyerFest as you want. Once you are at the event, there are no limits on how many models that you want to purchase. The only limit is that you can only purchase one of each kind during one transaction.
Can I participate in the Workshops? With this ticket, you are able to participate in the workshops. However, please keep in mind that the workshops are always an add on so this means that you will be paying for them. While we do not know yet exactly which Workshops will be there, please keep in mind that they are additional to the cost of the ticket.
Can I enter the Live Show with this ticket? If you are wanting to show your models at BreyerFest Live, then this is one of the two tickets that you will need to do so. The other is the All Access Ticket. The BreyerFest Live show is an add on so there is an additional fee.
Am I able to enter the Contests with this ticket? Yes, you will have access to the in person and the virtual contests with this ticket. However, keep in mind that the fine print does limit who can enter the contests. I urge you to read the fine print about the contests.
Do I have to buy a parking pass with this ticket? No, the 3 day Kentucky Horse Park Parking Pass is included with this ticket.
What else comes with this ticket? There is a VIP Swag Bag that you will get, you get access to the Kentucky Horse Park, access to the events at the Clarion hotel, a ticket to the Celebration of Horses Evening Performance, and more!
What makes the VIP Ticket better than the All Access Ticket? With the VIP Ticket, you are guaranteed your Special Run choices and you are guaranteed the two Limited Editions that you have purchased. There might be special VIP Workshops that you can purchase entry into and you get a VIP Swag Bag as well as the complimentary Parking Pass and the full set of the Event Stablemates. Outside of those things, the VIP Ticket and the All Access Ticket are virtually the same.
Can I buy this ticket for my child and buy myself another ticket? Yes, you are able to mix and match the ticket types with no issue. You are allowed to be with your child at all times, however just know that when it comes to workshops, this means sitting there and watching them rather than helping them.
So should I buy this ticket or not? It really comes down to what you want to experience and what you want to do. Personally, I try to get it because I am a BreyerFest Junkie and I want everything. However, unless you are a die hard BreyerFest fan and want to try to get all of the models that you can, the All Access Ticket is just as good as this ticket. Sure, you are not exactly guaranteed those Special Runs, but the Special Run Preference List is not a bad thing and there is also trading at the event. So, the biggest draw to the VIP Ticket is the guaranteed Special Runs.
All Access Ticket
What does the All Access Ticket cost? This ticket costs $90. You will need to purchase your Special Runs and Limited Editions at BreyerFest.
How many All Access Tickets can I buy? You can purchase as many All Access Tickets as you wish. Last year, you were limited to six tickets per transactions.
