INSTRUCTIONS
Opportunity Drawing Submission Period:
April 20, 2026, 10:00 a.m. EDT/7:00 a.m. PDT through April 26, 2026, 8:00 p.m. EDT/5:00 p.m. PDT
Age limit to attend: 12 years old & up

The number of Hearties we can accommodate is based on many factors, including venue availability, lodging options and costs, as well as making the experience as pleasant as possible for all Hearties in attendance. There is a four-ticket maximum and the age limit to attend is 12 years old and up. Please note that any registrant between the ages of 12-17 must be accompanied by a registered adult. Review the registration cost and refund policy below prior to entering.

STEP ONE: On April 20, 2026, the Opportunity Drawing navigation tab will become active. Complete the Opportunity Drawing form found on that page.

There is a four-ticket maximum, so if you want to attend with friends or family members, you will enter them on the same opportunity drawing form as you (Person One, Person Two, Person Three, Person Four). You will need to coordinate with your group and complete only ONE form. You will need each individual’s name, address, and a different email address for each person you will be listing on your form. If you just need one ticket, complete Person One information only.  

Review your information for accuracy PRIOR to clicking “submit” since this is the ONLY way we will have to contact you.

Duplicate entries are not permitted. Any duplicate entries found will be removed.

STEP TWO: After the opportunity drawing entry window closes on April 26, 2026, forms are then randomly drawn and individuals notified via email from Eventbrite. If there were two to four individuals listed on your Opportunity Drawing form and your form is drawn, each individual listed on the form will receive an email to register. Full payment is required at Step Two of registration, so be sure you have reviewed the refund policy prior to submitting payment.

The drawing takes some time, so please be patient. We will post on social media when the first batch of emails are sent.

Check your email regularly (best practice is to check both your inbox and your spam/junk folders)! We cannot stress this enough. Once the email is sent, you will have 48 hours to complete your registration through Eventbrite with payment as instructed in the email. If you have not completed your registration with the link provided within 48 hours the link will expire, and we will move on to the next Heartie in the drawing. We will continue to draw names until all spots are filled. We will post a “sold out” notice on all of our social media pages and here on the website once all spots have been filled.

PLEASE NOTE: Not everyone who enters claims their spot! Many factors may keep them from being able to claim their spot. For this reason, we will continue to draw again after each round until all spots are filled. This usually takes several rounds before the event is sold out.

Refund Policy
All sales are final. Registrations are non-refundable and non-transferable to other individuals.
