=====================================================
FAQ NEW YEAR'S EVE at BELLEVUE ARTS MUSEUM Saturday, December 31st 2011
Ticket prices are subject to change/go up as we get closer to event date - 12/31/2011. All ticket sales are final and non-refundable. Event has annually attracted 500+ people per event for the past 7 years.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS IF I PURCHASE TICKETS ONLINE?
A: First, please note, physical tickets will not be mailed to a physical address. You will pick up tickets upon check in at the day of the event. You will need your ID and your proof of receipt from where you purchased tickets (BollyGrooves Blog (this site), Sulekha.com, or any other online websites) so we can check it against our master purchasing list and hand you your purchased passes upon arrival/check in. Check in begins at 9:15 PM.
We ask that all persons be present at the time of check-in, for example, if you have purchased 4 tickets, it is highly advised that all 4 people be present at the time of check-in with the purchaser of the tickets - if not, then we will hand the purchaser of the tickets all the admission passes and it is the purchaser's responsibility to hand the passes over to their party if all from the designated purchaser's party are not present at the time of check-in.
Tickets/passes will ONLY be handed to the person whose name is on the master list (the actual purchaser) and checks in with proper ID and receipt (via print or show a copy of the receipt via smart phone). The purchaser will be responsible to give the tickets to the people in his/her party if all are not present at time of check in. We CAN NOT hold spots under your purchased party at the door for people whose name is not on the master sheet even if you have a number of people showing up later. Again, the person who is the purchaser on master list must be present with ID and proof of their receipt (whether printed or on their smart phone in email) to gain admission and receive all admission passes. We can not emphasize this enough, there will be no exceptions to this.

There will also be an area for people to check in their coats as well in case they get there late and can't get a table.
