3. ADMISSIONS:

• Admission is strictly online, through Eventbrite. No cash at the door, no other platforms authorized to sell tickets, nor resale.
• Admission alone does not reserve skate rentals, be sure to book them as an add-on to your admission (see #4). If you have your own quads, or inlines you are welcome to wear those.
• Group purchases are not available. Each member of the group must purchase their own ticket.
• We will be running at a limited capacity. Book early. Eventbrite manages a wait list once sessions sell out; the last releases from the wait list will be ~2 days before the event.

4. BOOK RENTALS:

• If needed, skate rentals must be booked as an add-on ticket
• Skate rentals must be booked no later than 24 hours before the event (commonly Thurs. by 9pm) so that our volunteers can retrieve them from storage.
• Rentals are approximately shoe sizes (no half sizes).
• It is always advisable to bring a pair of thin and thick socks just in case as there are often no extras to swap sizes.
• Please wear socks regardless!

5. KEEPING IT SAFE:

• Head and limb protection is strongly recommended for all.
• Youth skaters (<18 yo.) MUST wear head protection.
• Safe Skating Code in effect (to be acknowledged when booking admission).

6. SKATE DATE:

• Want to get serious about skating and attend all (or many) of the sessions? Be our Skate Date! Buy a pass and we'll make sure we save you a seat and make every skate after that a little sweeter.
• This is for attendees who have their own skates. This is not an option that can be done if you need to rent skates.
• We wanted to build the community and offer a bonus for folks who were coming out regularly and committed enough to have purchased their own wheels!
• For $40 you buy access to a discount code for this season (May.-Aug.)to be used to buy adult tickets for yourself. Each session's ticket will only cost $8 and we will reserve a spot for you so you don't have to worry about us selling out for a Friday night!
• Go the Skate Date event 23SummerDates.eventbrite. to purchase your code and then use THAT event (not this one) to buy your tickets for the nights you will attend during the season.
• The code is only good through the end of August 2023 for regular sessions and will then expire.
