COBA EVENT QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q. When can I purchase a ticket?
A. Tickets may be purchased anytime after Jan 15th, up to the day of the event.
Q. Where can I purchase these tickets?
A. You may purchase the tickets on this website, using PayPal, by printing out the purchase form and mailing to COBA 61383 S Hwy 97 Ste B, Bend, OR 97702, or over the telephone by calling us at 541-317-8798. Your purchase can be made with a Visa or MasterCard. Tickets will also be available on the day of the show, which may be purchased with Cash or Check only.
You may also purchase at Sports Supplements 2 locations in Bend, OR.
Q. Is there a service charge added to the ticket price?
A. No, we do not charge a service charge per ticket, and no mailing charge.
Q. When will I receive my ticket order?
A. Your tickets will be mailed the day following your telephone order, or the day following our receipt in our mail of your check and ticket order.
Q. How is the seating arranged?
A. Our seating is traditional stadium/ auditorium seating. First come, first serve. There is not a “bad seat” in the house.
Q. I am competing, do I need a ticket?
A. You are not required to have a ticket to enter the doors. However, please keep in mind that we will continue to sell tickets until the auditorium is sold out. If you go out to visit or watch the event and the seats are sold out, you will be asked to go back to the competitor’s area. We usually suggest that Bodybuilders buy a seat with their people. You will have one Class, and then what will you do with the remainder of the show? It adds a lot of fun to your experience to be able to celebrate with your people in the auditorium.
Figure Competitors, my suggestion is that it is completely up to you. You will be pretty busy back stage, as many you will have two classes, some 4...and Fitness 3. That keeps you busy enough that you may really not benefit from a seat.
Q. Can Children/Minors attend our Events?
A. Yes, they may attend our Events, they do however need to purchase a ticket. If they can walk, they need a seat. We sincerely discourage you from bringing babies and very small children to our Events. It is not fair to expect your children to sit still and watch an event, as their attention spans are just too short. Generally children above 10 years are able to appreciate and understand what the event is all about.
Q. How close to the Event date can I still call and get tickets?
A. We will cut off telephone sales and PayPal sales on April 15th, 2008. That means we will take your order on April 15th before noon, and mail it the same day. As we advertise our ticket sale dates, and everyone knows that we have been selling tickets for months, please do not wait until the last week to call. If you have waited, your option is to buy your tickets at the Doors.
Q. Can you hold tickets in WILL CALL for me?
A. Yes. Any tickets purchased after April 15th, will be held at will call on event day. This may cause long lines and waits, so we urge you to purchase your tickets well in advance.
Q. What happens if I purchased tickets and I find out that I cannot attend the Event, can I receive a refund?
A. There are no refunds or exchanges. This is following the protocol of other Special Events, Concert or Sporting Events. Once you purchase a ticket ALL SALES ARE FINAL. If you are "iffy" on attending, do not purchase in advance, wait until the event arrives and get your tickets at the door.
*If you find yourself with tickets, and now do not want to attend you may be able to sell your tickets to other at your Gym or Health Club. Ask around, and you will find someone competing, or who knows someone that may want to buy you tickets.
If your question is not answered here, please call us at 541-408-7124 or email to: centraloregonbodybuilding.com and we will do our best to answer you question.
Q. What happens if I forget or lose my tickets?
We cannot be responsible and will not replace your tickets. Please do not ask us. This is the policy for almost anything you would buy tickets for. If you forget your concert or football tickets, you must buy more to enter, and if you forget your tickets to our event, you will also have to purchase again. We are on task running our event, and we cannot replace your tickets, or let you in, so please do not ask us. We also are subject to ticketing fraud, and so we are firm on our policy!
*Please put your tickets into a safe place after your purchase until you are ready to leave for the event, and make sure they are in your hand when you drive away from home.
