You can also buy General Admission tickets at the following locations:
Best Place Gift Shop (917 W. Juneau Ave.)
Lion’s Tooth (2421 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.)
Riverwest Co-op (733 E. Clarke St.)

Nice List Donation Ticket: This ticket pays penance for protection from Krampus! Actually, we set it up for those who want to contribute a little more toward the event. We always have a lot of expenses so if we can get some generous attendees to pay a $20 instead of a $5, we’ll meet those goals a lot faster and pay for even more great additions.
