Ticket booking for Cis Hinkle & Frenzy 4-6 March

FAQs that DF dancers should know

Q: “Online booking is not working for me. How can I book this event?

A. Only seconds ago (Friday Feb 25, 11pm), your DF webmaster (Patrick) booked himself online—all you will see is the added “Booking Successful”.

If Patrick can do it, anyone can. But if for some reason you can’t, that’s okay too! Read on…

Q. “I have had no luck finding an active  booking button on Dancing Fish website today. Menu line reads Restricted content. Am I missing something? I believe I attached a Covid card file with my sign up. Can I book this event?

A. Once you are registered, you are ready to go. That is our Number One concern—that we are all vaccinated. Registering online puts you on our list of subscribers—those who no longer need to carry their CDC cards to DF events.

We are still developing our online booking system. So if online booking is not working for you—no sweat! You may still attend and sign in at the door. Just allow a few minutes more so everyone can be checked in safely. Next to your name you will see a box. Just tick it off so we know who-all was present.

When can I book for Wild Asparagus Weekend?

A. The short answer is: Don’t worry. Be happy.

If you have already booked & paid, your donation is received and you are in. However, presently Wild Asparagus Weekend booking is not open. Online booking, although strongly encouraged, remains optional. So don’t worry. Be happy. It couldn’t be easier!

To put it in other terms, we are filtering out the unvaccinated only. These may include some of our best friends—but this is the only way forward for us to resume dancing as a community.

We consider the best medical and scientific advice—and vaccination is our own individual part of the solution that owner Dr. Joe Rush endorses and expects from everyone who attends DF dances.

This means that—provided that you produce proof of Covid-19 vaccination—you are in. Donations however are not accepted at the door, however. Why? Read on!

Q. Can I donate at the door by check?

A. Cash / Checks / Credit cards are NOT accepted at the door. Pay / Donate online only!

Our volunteers are already quite busy enough, thank you! That is from Joe Rush himself, who asks and expects from everyone that they:

  1. register themselves as vaccinated; and
  2. donate to the artists—online only!

The Dancing Fish community depends upon volunteers—including you!
