1. Look at the event layout map below and select your desired table/s by #
2. Click “Select a time” in the upper right of the screen
3. Choose the time you would like to reserve your table for and click “Tickets”
4. Select your desired table at that time and choose 1 ticket (1 ticket = full table reservation at that time). See 7. below for securing multiple blocks
5. Scroll down to “Add On” and pre-order food, and any memorabilia to be delivered to your table during your reservation.

7. To secure a table for multiple time blocks (you know you want to hold it down all day) you have to start the order / reservation process again from the beginning for each 2 hour time block. We realize when you go to add another time block someone may have already reserved that table at that time, pick the next closest table and we will work our digital magic to avoid you having to physically relocate. Unless you’re into musical tables then we’ll ride with you.
