The pre-event tickets are all spoken for. There will be plenty of general admission space. We’re overwhelmed by the amazing support from the community, with 450 people requesting tickets in about 24 hours.

You wanted shorter lines and the ability to reserve seats in advance, and we listened. You can now get your ticket to Ignite Portland 3. Here’s how:

  • Go to our registration page & click the “Request ticket” button. (Note: RSVP’ing on Upcoming does NOT reserve a ticket)
  • You must have a working email address to register a ticket.
  • You must bring your ID and printed ticket to the event, otherwise you’ll have to wait in the general admission line.
  • Doors open at 5:30pm and your ticket is good only until the general admission starts (6:15pm), then all remaining seats will be given on a first-come-first-serve basis to those in line.

    • Schedule:
    June 18, 2008
    5:30pm - Ticketed admission begins

    FAQ’s that may answer some of your questions:

    How many general admission seats will be available? 170 at minimum. We will be admit 620 total and 450 tickets will be issued.

    Can I get in without a ticket? Yes. You can wait in the general admission line to be admitted without a ticket at 6:15pm.

    If I RSVP’d on Upcoming.org does that mean I already have a ticket? No.

    What if I don’t have an email address or don’t want to give my email address when registering for a ticket? All tickets require a valid unique email address. If you do not have an email account or don’t want to give out your existing address, search the web for “free email” to get an account. Or come down and wait in the general admission line.

    Can kids come? What if my kids don’t have an email address? Kids are welcome but all minors need to be out of the building by 9:00pm per OLCC rules (the event ends at 9:00 so they won’t miss any of the presentations).Children without tickets will be admitted with ticketed adults.

    Who is the 12th cylon? Starbuck.
