- How can I get to the FUN faster? If you elected to save your credit card when you purchased tickets, you are pre-registered. If you did not save your credit card when you bought your tickets, we will send you an email from Nimbus Arts, so you can pre-register for faster check-in.
- How can I help my guests get to the FUN faster? If you have additional guests listed as TBD, you have received an email from Nimbus Arts with a ‘guest update’ link. You may forward this to your guests for them to update their own information or you can update their information yourself. We will also send this email again as the event approaches.
