Frank's Place Super Bowl Bash! Just want to make it clear that the tickets are 100rmb in advance. Western Breakfast Buffet (you will not be disappointed), Two free drinks, and three chances to win a raffle drawing for a weekend getaway to the Goose and Duck Ranch in Mutianyu!

100rmb gets your pre-order tickets simply by emailing kodibj@hotmail.com

If you don't get pre-sale tickets they are 150rmb at the door.

Hi jadarite,
Your bring up a valid point. I guess some more background info might have been useful:

The Bookworm International Literary Festival is an annual event here in Beijing. There are usually dozens of author talks, panels, discussions, workshops, etc. taking place over a span of about two weeks.

Ticket prices are for admission to the events themselves and usually include one free drink, but not the book or books related to the event. You will usually have the option of buying the book separately. (All this info is at bookwormfestival.com, which I linked to in the post.)

Also, if you clicked on the link to the Bookworm Festival's site, you should have found a list of events, each listing its date, time and location. The main venue will be The Bookworm itself, which is a bookstore located in on Sanlitun Nanjie, south of the Village in Sanlitun. That's also where you can go to buy tickets for any of the festival's events. (As mentioned in the post, early bird tickets are on sale this week, but tickets go on sale to the general public on Feb 6.)

Hope that helps.

I use these people: http://www.boxvoyage.com/

You pay US$13 and $3 for extra parcels they can consolidate, as well as the cost price of the postage you choose.

They are super reliable and communicate well. They also go above and beyond the call of duty: when my box of stuff got Return-to-Sendered (thanks China Post), they resent it to me and even paid the postage themselves.

Also, if you have an Australian bank account you pay even less fees.

Can you explain when this event is? I don't see an actual start date, just times to buy "tickets". Also, when I went to the site to see details, it had prices like 80 RMB. What is this for? Can we get the book or are there additional fees? When I looked for an address/location I saw several maps with contact info. Does this mean there are several events taking place or is there one central location? Please clarify, thanks.
