FAQ

Q - What should I wear? A - Remember there will be Costume Contests! The 5 categories will be: Best Goddess, Best God, Best Fantasy Being, Best Coordinated Couple, and Scariest. Remember to sign in for your costume category as soon as you enter the Ball Room. There can only be 10 candidates for each category and there cannot be any repeated entries. Keep in mind that you will be navigating through a crowded room and seated at a table with other people when you look at large or extended costumes. We do ask that there be a costume or plain clothes. Due to the age acceptance of 16 and up, we are asking that people do not attend "Sky Clad" (nude) or extremely scantily dressed. |

Q - Can I bring infants? A - Due to the noise, drinking and crowds,we do not allow infants at the Witches Ball. If you are nursing you may want to reserve a hotel room and have a baby sitter there in the room. This will allow you to take breaks to your room to feed the baby. |
|
Q - Do I get a Discount on the hotel room? A - Yes! Crowne Plaza is offering a special rate for AZ Witches Ball attendees. If you want a room for the night mention that you are with the event when registering. We have been quoted a rate of approximately $89 per night. This is very reasonable considering the elegance, spaciousness and beauty of the hotel rooms. |

Q - Are tickets sold at the door? A - No. Because the event will have a seated and exquisitelycatered dinner with two selections, the catering service needs to know how many of each delicious dinner will need to be prepared. They need this information before the night of the Ball. This does not allow us the option of selling tickets at the door. The ticket dead line will be October 10th and the Grande Ball Room only has a capacity for 320 people to dine.Therefore, we must stop selling tickets by October 10th or when seating is no longer available. |
