Tips & Advice

  • Buy tickets online by December 3rd for the advance discount, especially for Sunday, which has a new Shop Sunday and Save deal this year.
  • Wear your most comfortable shoes and bring a water bottle, since over 475 exhibitors fill four adjoining exhibition buildings.
  • Pick up a cash re-entry pass before you leave if you think you'll want to come back on another day of the show.
  • Leave rolling handcarts at home because they're never allowed, and bring a friend or buy a Bizarre Bazaar bag to carry your finds.
  • Come during General Admission if you're bringing a stroller, since strollers aren't allowed at Opening Night or Early Bird shopping.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Wednesday Opening Night Shopping Spree benefiting Sportable, ticketed separately. Choose Early Entry with Prizes (light snacks, two drink tickets and a tote) or Shopping Only (a shopping bag).
  • Early Bird Shopping on Thursday and Friday mornings, before General Admission, with its own ticket.
  • New this year: Shop Sunday and Save. Sunday tickets bought by December 3rd get a discount.
  • Thursday and Friday tickets bought online by December 3rd are discounted.
  • A cash re-entry pass, bought before you leave, lets you come back on another day.
