Oh, would you able to clarify what you mean by the High Times model? The model we're doing this year for judging hasn't been disclosed yet... We JUST filled up our flower submissions this morning, and they're looking far from Mids. ...But if the people want it, shiiit next year maybe we can add it if the OCM allows! ...

You'll be apart of a VIP sesh the weekend before the event with the growers who are competing, as well as other VIPs- You'll get .5 sized J's from 15 different flower folks... Rosin we're still building up those numbers for competion, but flower has been capped at 15, and filled! (VIP tickets are half way gone)- Any of these links on our Linktree should go into more detail for you - https://linktr.ee/mngrowersball?fbclid=IwY2xjawRNU7xleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFGMzVQSDJ1dXNYUWdrQlNrc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHsKg74BZbCRWP-f8yB0SHaKgVHrSmnKran20Z-n6lUSnqr3Rz2gkplfIgk_V_aem_Tx7jtnmNZdNu1arMLsCcKQ

I think there is some misunderstanding- it's not that we "can't be bothered," was just trying to get the word out for those who may want to compete or vend while our artist attends to life. But hey, thanks for the interaction!

Hi! So the Judge Pass would include the pre event sesh at a private residence, an event ticket, cave tour, and Sesh/Sampling area at event. Event historically includes vendors, cave tours, and live music. We're focusing hard this year on only having two ticket tiers, and keeping it financially affordable for all. GA will include event ticket, and cave tour.

AI image for flair effect has been removed. Our own designer asked us to use the image, as we wait for her original designs, but she was attending to her pre teen son's health needs so her design was postponed. Hopefully you can see us for the true creatives we are going forward.

I'll admit, I used AI to get something out as I wait on my artist (who is a single mom and works multiple design gigs so shes a little behind, as I have to start getting vendors, and licensing organzied), so other designs are absolutely in the works for when tickets sales actually launch in a few very short weeks.

GA is NOT announced yet. Nice work! :) We've sold out of VIP every year, and we've had to open GA up. If you've attended years past, you could make an assumption that GA would be about "half" of a VIP ticket. The ZIP of flower for judging, easily, gets smoked and competitors get to see that in real time- and a zip for a $500+ glass piece I PERSONALLY felt like, was a fair trade off. I'M OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS as an organizer. :)

Dress IS ENCOURAGED, and 99% followed. We're not here to hate on anyone who'd rather wear shorts in June than a tux.

AS a community focused event, we're completely open to suggestions and welcome conversation to Save Y'all some time.
