Purchase Tickets
So Sneaky Advance Tickets are back on sale!
Thank you for your patience as we worked to troubleshoot problems with the payment gateway. We’ve gone with a simpler solution – direct pay links through PayPal.
Our apologies for the inconvenience, but this method does mean Tickets for the event must be purchased separately from Tickets for dinner.
So Sneaky Advance Tickets – Available through February 15, 2026
Group Dinner Tickets – Available until the event
Thanks once again, and we’ll see you in July!
