Tips & Advice
- Purchase tickets early because only a limited quantity is available, and every person entering the event must have a ticket.
- Arrive on time to secure your place in line and your book; late arrivals may not get into the event space.
- Keep your ticket or QR code ready on your phone or as a printed copy so check-in can scan it at the door.
- Leave large bags at home because they are not permitted in the event space, and bring only what you need for check-in and photos.
- Bring your own phone or camera if you want a photo with the Grinch, since the bookseller takes candid shots on guests' devices.
