Alas, our money order was returned. And we SO want to go! Please email me if you or you know of anyone who has tickets they may not be using. I would be most grateful.

Just a quiet fact that for the most part you really don't need a ticket. The seating is pretty uncomfortable and a good number of people leave about midway through the evening.... about the same time they stop checking tickets at the gate. Fact is the tv coverage is very good with better view and camera angles than you can get in person. But in-person is definitely worth the experience at least once.
Assume the best and ask questions.

I have had the experience of TV and live. Live is The Best. Yes you can stay home eat,drink,party pause and come back later. But you don't experience what goes on while present. You miss the real manna!

Well, actually the first night of MM is called the ho'ike and is totally free - no ticket needed - just a long line. If this is what you mean then you're in luck - you just need to get down there real early and have at least one person in your group stand in line. Last I remember it starts at 6 and I think most people try and get in line at least by 4. For better info you can check their website. Good luck!

Oh nooooo - sorry - my bad. I just looked myself and found that they are indeed selling tickets in advance for 5 bucks this year. I'm sorry I spoke too soon. But, like the others I think it is still nice to watch on TV or the internet.

Because it is the 50th anniversary, Wednesday Hoi'ke is by ticket only, all tickets have been sold!
You can try calling the Merry Monarch Festival Office (808) 935-9168 to see if your name could be added to a contact list, in case of cancellations!
