Admission
This year MEQ will be charging an entry fee for all non-players and non-coaches. Tickets can be bought Thursday - Sunday at the rate of $4 a day or $10 for a 3-day pass.
As many of you know, MEQ made the decision several months ago to charge admission for all spectators into the Columbus Convention Center for our 2009 event. Due to the rising costs associated with the Convention Center and labor, we had to make this difficult decision. We wanted to make everyone aware that we will be using admission bracelets that will need to be worn all weekend. All bracelets will be available in Room D130 at the Convention Center. Daily Passes are available for $4, and Weekend Passes are available for $10. ;All children 10 and under will be free.
We will start selling bracelets on Thursday March 26th from 5:00pm - 8:30pm. Admission will then again be open at 7:00am on Friday March 27th. "Lost" bracelets will not be replaced. We will replace damaged bracelets if needed. There will be security guards at the entrance and each hall and you will need to have the bracelet around your wrist to enter.
