Tips & Advice

  • Buy your ticket ahead of time, because prices go up as the date gets closer and walk-ups pay much more at the door.
  • Get at least four friends to buy together for the group rate; names don't need to match because QR codes are scanned at check-in.
  • Get to Three Sisters during the check-in window, since that's the only place to swap your ticket QR for your badge and drink vouchers.
  • Wear your ugliest sweater and find the photographers at check-in with your group, so you end up in the album and the photo contest.
  • Donate a qualifying toy to Toys for Tots and email proof to support@crawlwith.us to get a free ticket for each toy.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Group deal: buy four or more tickets together for a lower price per person; names don't need to match
  • Toys for Tots: get a free ticket for each donated toy that meets the minimum value. Email a photo of the toy going into a Toy Drop Box, or your online receipt, to support@crawlwith.us
  • Mid party at The Old Wagon Saloon & Grill
  • After party at The Brit - Sports Pub & Patio closes out the night
  • Photo contest: the local winner gets a free future crawl ticket, and city winners compete for a year of free tickets

Frequently Asked Questions

How does check-in work?

Show your ticket QR code at Three Sisters during the check-in window. You'll swap it for your badge or wristband and your drink vouchers.

No. Once you have your badge, you can hit the six bars in any order. Vouchers are redeemed at designated bars.

What comes with a ticket?

You get no-cover entry to all six bars, tear-off vouchers for a drink or shot, the mid party at The Old Wagon Saloon & Grill and the after party at The Brit - Sports Pub & Patio. Free photos from the event photographers are included too.

What should I wear?

Ugly sweaters are encouraged.

How does the photo contest work?

Get photographed at check-in, or upload your own shot to the album, then tag yourself and collect hearts. The local winner gets a free ticket to a future crawl. City winners then go head to head for free tickets for a year.
