This is how the Advance Order Procedure is processed:
All orders received at our Festival Box Office at Toronto Life Square before 1:00pm on Friday, August 29, 2008, will be placed in numbered boxes*.
- A draw will determine which box of orders will be processed first. For example: In the event that 40 boxes of orders have been collected, a number representing each box will be placed into a drum for random selection. If box 16 was selected, it would become the first box of orders to be processed. Box 17 would be next followed by box 18 and so on until box 40. Boxes 1 through 15 would follow behind in order.
- *NEW! Advance Order Processing for Donors: Donors at the Benefactor giving level and above (gifts of $250 or more) can drop off their orders in boxes representing each donor level. Orders will be processed in giving level order in advance of the first numbered box of orders as determined by the draw. For example: Donors at the 52/7 Circle will have their box of orders processed first, followed by the boxes representing each donor level in descending order.
- Orders received after 1:00pm on Friday, August 29, 2008, will NOT be part of the draw. These orders will be processed after all the draw orders, in the order in which they were received.
Beginning Monday, September 1, 2008, at 10:00am, all processed Advance Ticket Orders will be available for pick-up only at the Festival Box Office at Toronto Life Square (10 Dundas Street East, third floor).
