Why is it so #*%#! expensive to enter this show!
The show doesn’t cost a thing to enter. It is absolutely free. The suggested donation is listed to help those that would like to make a donation through this event. Any amount, including nothing, is fully acceptable. Many of the entrants give thousands and even millions of dollars to Georgia Tech in other ways, so donating through this event would be redundant for them. Others are just getting back in touch with Georgia Tech, and do not feel comfortable donating anything. The organizers are simply passionate about the participation of the Georgia Tech community.
Will the show be canceled if it is raining?
If it is a light to moderate or intermittent rain the show will go on as planned. If it is a heavy rain we will cancel the show. Please stay tuned to the web page as we will announce any changes here.
Will alcohol be allowed as part of the tailgating?
Unfortunately, adult beverages will not be allowed on campus as a part of this year’s event.
Will there be trailer parking for participants not driving their cars to the show?
Yes, there is some limited trailer parking on the lot. Please find a show organizer when you arrive at the show to arrange for trailer parking.
