ONLINE TICKETS FOR 6 VENUES 

To help eliminate the frustration of long lines, festivalgoers will be able to reserve free tickets to our six busiest venues starting at noon on Monday, March 7. Online ticketing will be available through noon Friday, March 11, while tickets last, for: 

  • Student Union North Ballroom (Seats 640).
  • Student Union Gallagher Theater (Seats 340).
  • Education Kiva (Seats 200).
  • Koffler Room 204 (Seats 304).

For individuals who are unable to secure tickets in advance, 25 percent of the seats in each of these venues will be held for walk-ins the day of the presentation. All other venues will seat on a first-come, first-seated basis, as in previous years.

BOOK SALES 

The University of Arizona BookStores are the official book seller of the festival. Buy books at any of their many tents throughout the festival. Books may also be purchased through the festival website. Many exhibitors may also be book sellers and may be hosting author signings.

Please be considerate of others and limit yourself to three books per author signing. Authors set their own policies about what and the number of books they will sign. Schedule changes will be posted at tucsonfestivalofbooks.org 

WHY ATTEND BOTH DAYS? 

It's nearly impossible to attend presentations, panels and workshops and have time to check out what's happening at all the booths and tents in just one day. Plus, you'll need to stop at the food courts to enjoy some of Tucson's best local cuisine. 

LOST AND FOUND 

Items will be collected at information booths. After the festival, unclaimed items will be turned over to the UA Student Union Information Desk, 621-7755. 

FIRST AID 

Medical tents are on the mall near the Children's Area in front of the Psychology Building, in front of the Chemistry Building and near the East Food Court.
