Well, it appears that all of you in the ham community just can’t wait for Fest season to get started, at least based on the number of questions we’ve gotten about how soon we will have the Club online ordering site available for you to select your tables and get you discounted tickets!
So, it is with great joy that we’d like to announce that the 2026 SwaoFest page is now open for business! We’re excited to report that we’re holding prices steady this year, with $8 advance admission tickets available online here. We expect an even larger turnout this year than the record-setting attendance last year, all due to the great mix of vendors who will be bringing lots of cool stuff!
Use our online registration tool to skip right to the front this year by ordering your tickets online. After last year’s record turnout, we’ve worked on improving our day-of-Fest traffic flow, but you can skip the line and get right into the Fest with your electronic tickets.
For those of you who still want paper tickets, remember that we need to receive your order by Saturday, March 1st, to ensure that we can get your tickets back to you in time using the self-addressed stamped envelope you provide. Missed the deadline, or need to add an extra ticket at the last minute? Order tickets online and get them via email in mere seconds.
Hate the fuss of self-addressed stamped envelopes and the agony of having to wait forever to get your stuff back, but still want to order a table or tickets? Put the paper form down. Order it online. Check your email. Done. And, while there is a convenience fee on credit/debit cards to cover the PayPal charges, it’s still way cheaper than two envelopes and two stamps.
Every drive off and then realize what you need is still at home? With our electronic ticketing, that worry is a thing of the past. If you can bring up your email on your phone, you can use your iPhone or Android smartphone as your eTicket! We can scan right from the phone, so you don’t even need to print anything!
Got questions? Drop us an email at TCARC@W9MQB.org and a friendly Tri-County club member will get back to you as quickly as we can to help you.
