8th U.S. National Bonsai Exhibition, Rochester, NY, USA, September 9-10, 2023

All this "discussion" about the photo policy made me go and pre-order the book, since I can't make the show this year...

I purchased tickets on August 21 (and have a receipt) and haven't had my card charged nor a response from an inquiry as to whether I actually have tickets or not.

Do I just drive all the way there and hope, or is this normal?

 

[Ruddigger]

I never got a response either. I’d show up.

Happened to me too… no charge I think they charge or have 60 dollars at door with your ticket receipt. Tickets are handed at the door

I did get charged, took about a week after purchase. But no receipt or email confirmation. Luckily I had a screenshot of the purchase page.

I’m here now, first tree of the show in the hotel lobby!

Old fashioneds you say…

Technically not allowed to take photos but you can take photos of your own trees so here are my two trees.

I forgot to mention @Hartinez was the creator of this bad ass stand!

He posted about it on IG. He’s a rockstar, that stand is

 

[coh]

Just checked my credit card statements, I got charged a few days after putting in the order. Interesting, though, was only charged $60 despite the email receipt showing $64.80 (tax). Not sure what's up with that.

Tell that guy to log in here if he can once in a while and stop being a stranger... We need updates on his trees. Or maybe he's keeping them a secret to be exposed this weekend???

This is killing me. I had planned on attending with my 12y.o. kiddo back in early spring but we had obligations arise. Now I’m cut loose but have no tickets, no lodging and an 8 hour ride between me and the show with just the possibility of Sunday tickets as an enticement… oh yeah, then work on Monday

Part of me says “screw it” and just get up in the morning and start driving… the other part is reminding me of all the regret I may feel at 5a.m. Monday morning back at work
