NERAX 2010 SESSIONS AND ADMISSION

As always, we do our best to ensure a pleasant, pub-like atmosphere for all sessions. During the festival, new casks are tapped every day, with special British beers reserved for Saturday. Also, admission will be strictly limited. While advance admissions sell out quickly, walk-up Cash Sales admissions remain available at the door for every session.

  • Wednesday 6:00 – 10:30 p.m. $15
  • Thursday 6:00 – 10:30 p.m. $15

As in past years, Redbones sandwiches will be available for purchase in the hall.

UPDATED TICKET INFO
CASC thanks you all for making NERAX so popular. The sales of the limited number of advanced admission tickets is now closed. However there will be a Large Number of admission tickets available at the door for every session.

Unfortunately there are times when we have more customers than we have capacity in the hall. At our busiest times individuals who fail to gain entry by 6:30 p.m. may face a wait of 90 minutes. On the other hand we rarely if ever have lines after 8:30 p.m.

This is a pay as you go event, but each pub is going above and beyond the usual in some way for The Crawl. Total walking time, start to finish is only 25 minutes!
