Enter here!<\/a><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n #3 ~ Follow on Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n It’s not a huge group, so that means your chances are better, right? I’m bad about posting there since … well, it’s a small group and it’s hard to rationalize the time, but … I want to grow it and get more motivated to share there. Please join us! I’ll be giving passes away.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n #4 ~ Local Facebook groups<\/strong><\/p>\n Follow along in the Phoenix area group near you for chances to win tickets and also to find and share deals that are in your neighborhood.<\/p>\n East Valley Bargain Believers<\/span><\/span><\/a> Since my main Facebook page was hacked, I only have my local groups that I can access. Technically, they were also hacked. Only “Bargain Believer” was kicked out, but my personal page “Juli” is still able to post there.<\/p>\n FYI, I also have groups that aren’t very active (join and help make it active\/valuable if you’re nearby), but I won’t be giving away tickets there. Please only join a group if you live or work in the region.<\/p>\n More discount information below!!<\/strong><\/p>\n Here are the regular prices, if you pay at the gate. . .<\/p>\n AZ Ren Fest admission adult ticket pricing is the same online as at the gate, but you will pay an additional $1.99 processing fee for each ticket if you make your purchase online. The exception is that there’s a $5 off coupon for kids’ tickets that you can use online! (See below.)<\/p>\n Adults = $36 + tax Parking = FREE!<\/p>\n See below for discount options.<\/p>\n You have some options for getting a discount . . . The best deal for the Renaissance Festival is to attend opening weekend, January 31 or February 1, 2026. (Or, even better is getting 2 free tickets for making purchases at Desert Ridge or Tempe Marketplace — more details below.)<\/p>\n The BOGO tickets to the AZ Renaissance Festival have not happened since 2004, but this is a good deal . . . <\/p>\n This offer is only valid on opening weekend, which is January 31 & February 1.<\/strong> There is also an offer to get $5 off kids’ tickets below (good any day)<\/p>\n To get two adult tickets for $46 + $1.99 processing fee (opening weekend only): You can only do this offer once per email address, getting a total of 2 tickets. <\/p>\n There will be a $1.99 processing fee added per ticket plus taxes.<\/p>\n The offer is not good at the gate.<\/p>\n Get $5 off each child’s admission ticket (ages 5-12) to the Arizona Renaissance Festival. Use code BBCH<\/span><\/strong> to make each ticket $19. It’s not valid at the gate; must be purchased online.<\/p>\n Before doing this, check below to make sure you’re not going on a weekend when kids can get in free. Scroll down for more info.<\/p>\n To get $5 off kids’ admission tickets: You will get $5 off each ticket. The discount won’t show until the end when you see the deduction in your cart.<\/p>\n There will be a $1.99 processing fee added per ticket plus taxes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can stop into a Bashas’ or Food City to purchase your tickets. You’ll save $1 per ticket.<\/p>\n At Bashas’ or Food City, adults will be $35; kids (5-12) will be $23.<\/p>\n If you order tickets online, there is also a $1.99 processing fee per ticket, so you’ll also save that if you make your ticket purchase at Bashas’ or Food City. (At the gate, there won’t be an added fee, so you’re saving $1 off gate pricing.)<\/p>\n BUT … you’re better off getting kids’ tickets online with the $5 off. Even after the $1.99 processing fee, you will save more than getting $1 off at Bashas’ or Food City.<\/p>\n If you bring the right item, there are FREE Kids’ days at the Renaissance Festival for 2026.<\/p>\n Monday, February 16 ~ Queen Katherine\u2019s Birthday Surprise February 28 and March 1 ~ Kids Need to Read March 28 and 29 ~ Superstition Community Food Bank They are not offering senior (65+) or military discounts this year. However, if you show your ID at the box office, you will receive a FREE beverage voucher. The voucher is valid for soda, tea, or bottled water up to $3 and is not valid at the coffee shops. <\/p>\n There is not an extra discount for President’s Day weekend, but the other discounts mentioned above apply.<\/p>\n Parties of 15 or more can get a $2 discount on Ren Fest tickets if they plan ahead. Tickets will be $34 for adults and $22 for kids. The organizer also gets a free ticket. The bus or tour operator will also get in free with proper ID. If you have 30 or more in your group, you can get a second ticket free. If you need more than that, either ask or place separate orders.<\/p>\n You need to request a promotional code by 5 pm on the Thursday before the weekend you plan to attend, so don’t procrastinate too long.<\/p>\n Keep in mind that using the discount code RC5PHX will save you $5 for kids instead of $2, so you probably want to use that instead … unless you need them to count for getting to 15, I guess.<\/p>\n Go here<\/a> for the form and full information.<\/p>\n Make $200 worth of purchases February 2 -28 at Tempe Marketplace<\/a> or at The District businesses at Desert Ridge Marketplace<\/a> and you’re set for getting two free tickets. District brands are from AMC Theatres to Barnes & Noble and Jin Jia. It does not include any exterior brands including Albertsons, Target, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n VERIFY THEY HAVE TICKETS BEFORE MAKING A SPECIAL TRIP. THEY WILL RUN OUT!<\/p>\n At Tempe Marketplace, it sounds like a lot to spend, but with places like Target, JCPenney’s, and Ross it might not be as hard as you think. Plus, keep in mind that the $200 could be spent on gift cards if you’re in a hurry or want to make your “real” purchases later.<\/p>\n You can shop any one day, combining receipts from different places at one shopping center. When you’re done, for Tempe Marketplace head to the management office is located next to Yogi\u2019s Grill facing the north parking lot, open 8 am – 5 pm Monday – Friday. At Desert Ridge, you will also go to their management office. (I’ll update soon if I get better instructions.)<\/p>\n When you bring all your receipts from purchases on a single day, they’ll stamp them to indicate you’ve received tickets. You will get your receipts back, in case you have another need for them later. Simple!<\/p>\n Locations and further instructions for earning tickets and where to go to redeem your receipts can be found on each of their websites at the links above.<\/p>\n It’s “while supplies last” so make sure you verify they still have them if you’re doing it later in the month if you’re making a special trip or purchases just for the tickets!<\/p>\n It’s always free to park at the AZ Ren Fest, so you won’t have that extra expense! Bashas’ & Food City are sponsoring it this year.<\/p>\n Some more questions you’ve had in the past, that I want to address so you don’t have any surprises . . .<\/span><\/p>\n The address for the Renaissance Festival for your GPS is: Map & directions here<\/a>.<\/p>\n It is seven miles east of Apache Junction on US Highway 60. Plan extra time to get there since traffic can get backed up on the road leading to the festival from the Mesa area.<\/p>\n The 2026 AZ Renaissance Festival will run from January 31 – March 29. It will be open Saturdays, Sundays, and Presidents\u2019 Day.<\/p>\n Dates include: Your AZ Renaissance Festival ticket includes admission to all shows & covers parking.<\/p>\n For an additional cost, you can enjoy rides, games, food & drink, and merchandise vendors.<\/p>\n You can go here for a schedule of events<\/a>.<\/p>\n Be aware that after each show, performers ask for tips. Tipping is not required, but you may want to have some cash handy to support them for a job well done.<\/p>\n Each person is allowed to bring one 16-24 ounce factory-sealed water bottle into the Renaissance Festival. No other food or beverages are permitted.<\/p>\n The AZ Renaissance Festival is open 10 am – 6 pm rain or shine. If it’s graining, grab an umbrella and enjoy a less busy day when others are scared away or assume they are closed! Refunds will not be given.<\/p>\n If you get your hand stamped on the way out of the Renaissance Festival, you can get back in for free the same day.<\/p>\n Pets are not allowed on the Renaissance Festival grounds.<\/p>\n Wear comfortable shoes and clothes to fit the weather. Keep in mind that all the activities are outdoors, spread over 50 acres.<\/p>\n In general, the Arizona Renaissance Festival will probably be sunny and warm. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, or other sun protection. If it’s a cooler or rainy day you may want to bring a light jacket.<\/p>\n Of course, you can go all out and dress in a costume if you want.<\/p>\n If you don’t have a costume, you can rent one outside the gate. Prop swords and daggers are allowed as long as they are properly sheathed, peace tied by safety personnel at the main gate, and remain sheathed while there.<\/p>\n Shirts and shoes are required, so don’t forget those!<\/p>\n You can buy your Renaissance Festival ticket at the gate and pay for most merchandise with a credit card. However, only cash is accepted for food, drink, games, and rides. You will also probably want cash for tipping after shows.<\/p>\n There are eight ATMs on the fairgrounds if you need access to one.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We will have giveaways on Instagram<\/a>, in our Phoenix area Facebook groups, for email subscribers<\/a>, and even more for paying members<\/a>.<\/p>\n See above for more specifics on the giveaways.<\/p>\n Facebook groups: Extra giveaways will be happening for Beyond!<\/em> members<\/a>.
