RonnySimulacrum Posted July 5, 2014 Its been a long time in the making, the Mini EB seeded the project in Ringwood library for around 3 years before EGA sprouted. I just love that a psychedelic conference started in a library, humble beginnings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RonnySimulacrum Posted July 30, 2014 Hey everyone, we did correct a small issue on the first day tickets went on sale and it only affected 8 orders. Pm me personally if you have a question regarding this. Otherwise there is just a booking fee of $8 and registered post charge of $4 per order (not per ticket that gets added). This helps us cover cost relating to ticketing processing, banking fees and postage. Also there is this note on the ticketing page to let you know Please note: AS WELL AS POSTAGE, AN ADDITIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE AND BOOKING FEE IS CHARGED. All international orders please contact us via email to discuss shipping costs or ticket collection at the event: tickets[at]entheogenesis.org The team have really tried to keep the cost to student/concession card holders for this event down, and if you get tickets in the early bird stage there a steal any way ;-) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
