Tickets purchased by April 21 will be mailed home. As always, you can earn free admission as a volunteer.

On the final summary screen you have an opportunity to make an optional donation to Zeffy, the platform that’s providing this completely free ticketing service to us. Please consider making a small donation to them so they can continue to offer this free service to NEFFA and other non-profits. Bear in mind that in the past we’ve paid 3-4% of the ticket cost in fees to PayPal, which was optionally covered by the buyer. If you would prefer not to make a donation to Zeffy, be sure to change the 17% default to “Other” and enter $0 for the amount. (This is different from the additional donation to NEFFA you may have chosen on the ticket types screen!)
