Less than a month out, here are some quick updates…
1) CIRCUS & PERFORMANCE LINEUP ANNOUNCED: Our CirQualarious! army of circus and performance artists has been announced and the lineup has more diversity and out-of-town talent than ever before. Check it out on the Facebook page and @ http://www.seaofdreamsnye.com/info - ART & INSTALLATION lineup coming soon too!
2) VENDOR VILLAGE: Interested in vending at Sea of Dreams, or know someone who is.. have them contact Nicole of NicolePresents at http://www.nicolepresents.com/newsletter/index13.html
3) DEC 15 TICKET PRICE HIKE: Early-bird discounts are about to run out. Ticket prices will go up on December 15. GA from 75-79 and VIP from 125-139. Click here to go buy your ticket NOW: http://seaofdreams-fblisting.eventbrite.com/
4) PRINTED HARD COPY TICKETS: These are available at our outlets NOW. HARD VIP TICKETS will be at Distractions and Streetlight (SF only) by this weekend. Prices will go up in the stores simultaneously with the online hike on December 15.
5) BOX OFFICE/ENTRANCE REDESIGNED: Much has been done to make sure the entrance breakdowns of last year are not repeated. We held ourselves fully accountable and made fixing this problem one of our top goals this year. Hopefully, with your cooperation (show up EARLY! - Doors open at 8pm), we can make your arrival into the NYE friction-free.
Among the important changes there will be..
= NO WILL CALL - so PLEASE DONT lose your Print-at-Home tickets.
= TRIPLE THE SPACE - The entrance area has been tripled, to give us the space we needed to revamp the entrance. This has allowed us to set up a simple, streamlined barricade system that can accommodate up to 1000 people at once and 4000 people/hour. This is four times what we could handle last year.
= DOUBLE STAFF - We doubled the amount of security, scanning, and customer service staff to try to help you get in quickly and with minimal hassle. There will be as many as 8 lines running and an express lane for VIP.
= METROWIZE- Local box office experts Metrowize (who successfully handled 8000 (all Will Call) entrants at the Skillz event at the Civic Aud. on LoveFest will be managing the process for us this year. Their expertise and perspective is already paying BIG dividends.
PLEASE HELP US HELP YOU BY GETTING THERE EARLY! Doors open at 8pm. Please make the most of this fabulous event by arriving before 10pm.

Thank you.
Has this event always been 18 and older? Seems like this is the first time.
2006, 2007 & 2009 have been 18+.. Actually, I don’t think I’ve heard any complaints.. the 18+ that do come self-select for the vibe and the lineup and so don’t create the stereotypical situation. In fact, there’s something entirely upbeat about the mix.
If I.D. was lost but obviously look 18,how strict are the ticket takers?
no way.. not a chance.. don’t even try. .. get an ID.. you have time..
does it matter what the name is on the ticket? does ID have to match?
Actually, the tickets are treated like hard copy tickets, so even though
they have your name on them, you can sell them to someone else. We only ask
you to bring your ID because the event is 18+, but we do not match your ID
to the tickets.
