(2 day min charge/person + swapper display space pricing as listed below applies for SWAP OPTION 1.) Swap Entry Gate (Gate 4) is for SWAPPERS ONLY.
SWAP OPTION 1: Swappers (only) have the option of arriving into the swap area with items to sell/swap for EARLY ENTRY AND SETUP starting on THURSDAY EVENING 4:00-9:00 PM OR FRIDAY at 7:00 AM. If you choose this option, a 2 day minimum charge applies: $10/person x 2 days in addition to SWAPPER DISPLAY SPACE PRICING as listed below. All swappers selling items here should enter at GATE 4 from 128th Ave - see event site map below. Swappers often choose this early entry option if they have many items to setup and need extra time or just want to avoid any unexpected delays (including heavy weekend traffic, longer than expected entry lines to swap areas on the day of event, etc.) Please have CASH payment ready (sorry, no pay-by-phone, checks or credit/bank/debit cards allowed for swap space payment) to ensure a smooth swap area entry for yourself and others arriving in line. Anyone attempting to enter swap areas on either Thursday or Friday without having swap items for sale will be turned away and asked to return as spectators during the posted event dates (FRI & SAT) and re-enter through Gate 1, the main gate. All swap space is assigned on a first arrived, first assigned basis so buyers don't experience large empty areas on the grounds where no items are being swapped/sold. We're ONLY at the swap entry gates Thursday 4:00-9:00 pm and Friday 7:00 am until approximately 10:00pm so if you're planning on entering for one of the early setup options be sure to arrive between the hours specified. (NOTE: Gates open to the public on Friday at NOON. Please know that Security turns away all persons after 10:00pm. and this entry option is no longer available after that time.
