NEW FOR 2018 - Seating at the Crops

We know how important it is for you to sit by your friends. Our crop hosts do an amazing job helping guests find seating together. If you have a party of Two, Four, Six or Eight guests and would like to reserve your seats prior to the event you are welcome to do so. Reserved seating is not necessary as all seating is on a first come first serve basis. However, this option is available to guarantee that your party will be seated together, without having to exercise our first come first serve policy. There is an additional fee to reserve your seats prior to the event.

  • Reserved seating is available for a party of 2, 4, 6 or 8 guests.
  • Each guest will need to purchase their own crop ticket online.
  • Once your party has purchased their individual crop tickets, one person from the party will need to visit our "Reserved Seating Application" to reserve your seats.
  • There is a $15 flat fee for Reserved Seating of 2; per day when paid online.
  • There is a $25 flat fee for Reserved Seating of 4; per day when paid online.
  • There is a $40 flat fee for Reserved Seating of 6; per day when paid online.
  • There is a $50 flat fee for Reserved Seating of 8; per day when paid online.
  • Once we receive your application, we will add the reserved seating to your order. Please allow 48-72 hours to process the application.
  • When you arrive at the crop; please notify your host to assist in locating your reserved seating.
  • Online seating applications close one week prior to the show.

Special Requests: If you have any special requests or needs, please be sure to add this request to the seating application. Special requests or needs are filled to the best of our hosts ability and not always accommodated.

Moving Reserved Seating Tent Cards: Much time is taken to fill requests for those that have paid extra to "Reserve Seating" ahead of time. We ask that you PLEASE be respectful and do not move your tent card or other guests tent cards. All reserved seating tent cards will be marked with their row/aisle number for our crop hosts to assist guests in locating their reserved seating. If tent cards are moved; that party will forfeit further seating reservation privileges in the future. We ask that you please see your crop host if you have any concerns with your seating arrangements and they will be happy to assist.

Many of our guests attend multiple crops throughout the weekend.  Here are two helpful tips for leaving your stuff overnight.
  • If you have a reserved table you may leave your items at your table if you are reserving it for the next day. Please see your crop host prior to leaving for your reserved table card for the following day.
  • For those guests who do not have a reserved table, but are planning to attend the crop the next day...you are more than welcome to leave your items overnight in a designated area at the crop.  Unfortunately, you will not be allowed to leave your items at your table. Please inquire with your crop host.

When attending the crop, you will need to bring supplies that will keep you busy throughout the day.  Many guests will bring their rolling storage totes filled with paper, scissors, trimmer, adhesive, embellishments, albums, pens, ink, stamps…you name it!   Remember, some crops are 16 hours, so bring whatever will keep you busy.
We love our young scrappers!  Children are welcome at our crops, however all children under 18 must be accompanied with an adult and must purchase a crop ticket for the event.
We try to have a variety of all types of music at our crop events.  Guests who wish to bring and listen to their own music are welcome to do so, however you will need to have headphones so the croppers around you can enjoy the music provided by the EXPO.
Concessions will be available throughout the day and into the evening at each of our show locations. Times vary during the evening hours. Your Crop Host will notify attendees when concessions are about to close, so you can be sure to stock up on any last minute drinks or snacks. Please note that the facility does not allow outside food.  Concealed snack food is okay, but please no rolling coolers.  Pizza delivery is also discouraged.
Controlling the temperature in a large hall can sometimes be difficult.  We do suggest that you bring a sweater or sweatshirt to make your stay more comfortable.
