Special Run Line Update!

31 Comments

While you’re busy trying to figure out who that sneak peek was that we posted earlier today, here is some updated information on how this year’s Virtual BreyerFest Celtic Fling Special Run line will work.

How will the Special Run Line work this year?

• Sales for 3-Day tickets will end on May 31, 2020 at 11:59 PM EDT or when inventory is sold out, whichever occurs first. 
• Ticket holders will still have the opportunity to purchase up to two (2) Special Runs; no purchase is required if you do not want the models selected for you.
• Ticket holders in each timeslot will be placed into a random order and models will be allocated to each ticket holder based on preferences submitted via an online form, which will be distributed via email the week of June 1, 2020.  This method worked extremely well to replicate the onsite shopping experience for our Seattle Soiree Breyer Boutique.
• Accounts that have purchased 3-Day tickets to BreyerFest will receive an email with detailed instructions on how to submit your model preferences for this year’s event. Preferences must be submitted by June 15, 2020 or preferences will be randomly assigned.
  • Submitting preferences does not guarantee which models you will receive. 
• If you have purchased multiple 3-Day tickets and have selected more than one Special Run time slot, you will have an opportunity to submit your model preferences for EACH Special Run timeslot you’ve purchased.
• During BreyerFest weekend, models will be released to ticket holders by timeslot.
  • Example – on Friday, July 10 at 10 AM EDT, ticket holders with Friday 10 am tickets can log into their accounts to see which models have been made available for them purchase. There will not be an option to select Special Run models other than the models you’ve been assigned.
  • All accounts will also receive an email notifying them that their models are available for purchase.
  • Complete information on making these purchases will be outlined on the Special Run Models buy page that you will have access to.
  • Purchases must be completed within 24 hours. 
  • Models can stay in your cart while you shop throughout the 24 hours; you do not need to check out your Special Runs separately from other items, like Store Specials, swag, or Fling! Shop models.
• As always, each shopping time is equal in terms of availability of models.
• Ticket holders with multiple tickets are not guaranteed to be able to purchase one of each kind of model.

Do I need to be online to shop live during my Special Run Time?  What time zone will this be in?

• Models will be released to the ticket holder by the timeslot you selected (following Eastern Daylight time) and purchases must be completed within 24 hours of your ticket time. See “How will the Special Run Line Work this Year” for more details.
