I purchased tickets online. Will I receive physical/digital tickets?

Please make sure your phone number is on your account to participate in programming during the event. There is no physical ticket for this event. All ticketing is done through GiveSmart and SMS. Table numbers will be sent via text. In case of emergency, text will also be the main form of communication. If you need assistance, please contact your table captain. Don't worry, your phone number will only be used for this event and not for future marketing purposes.
