Tickets

Good news! (And there's some bad news.)

Firstly, you only need a ticket if you wish to attend the full, ticketed event from Sept 18th-20th as a costumed "Time Tourist." The one-day "time travel convention" on Sept 19th is free, all-ages and open to Fillmore region residents.

This years tickets employ a sliding scale pricing.

This year, our effort to address income disparity is a pay-what-you-can ticketing system. We trust our community and we think the honor system can let everyone attend at the lowest price appropriate to their financial situation.

Time Tourist is committed to financial transparency within the collaborator community. Due to our limited year-one capacity of 75 guests we're not able to issue comp tickets this year. But if you join as a collaborator, you'll see what we spent and where. This public-service event is indeed not-for-profit and nobody's getting rich off it. We're here to make something great but not go broke.

Can't make that work? Everything is figureoutable — please reach out.

This year's tickets are available only to invited guests.

For this year, we're being extra cautious and inviting only vetted individuals. In future years, tickets will be available to the public in two ways — you can either be sponsored by someone who's already part of the community. Or any person can submit a public service art proposal as an outsider and get approved to make art.

What's included in my Time Tourist ticket?

  1. Way more than 24 hours of fun & funny pop-up playable immersive activations masterminded by a stellar team of award-winning game, theatre and theme park designers. For 2026 we're traveling to Fillmore, California!
  2. A costumed live-action adventure game with staged theatrical events — where player actions determine the outcome of the story!
  3. A chance to make the magic. The option to submit a public-service art project based on Fillmore's community needs - you and your pals can create an original game or activation subsidized by micro-grants!
  4. Initiation into a trusted community of playful, smart and funny creative types with a strong social conscience.

With these additional stretch goals…

  1. Our Saturday night finale party will now include a sumptuous, bumptious dinner with alcohol pairings.
  2. Our Friday night opening party will now include a sumptuous, bumptious dinner with alcohol pairings.
  3. A 365-episode expansion pack to the Time Tourist game that keeps the story and community going daily, all year-round.

(These stretch goals are currently planned, but technically cost-dependent - we'll announce each officially as soon as we're sure. Since tickets are PWYC, we're attentive to the danger of over-promising.)

Price tier has zero bearing on attendee selection — tickets are distributed only in the order they were reserved, after collaborator dispersement.

We're truly on the honor system — choose the price which best describes your financial situation.
