Do we have to pay anything up front for the tickets?
No money is required up front to receive tickets. You will be responsible for turning in the $14.99 per ticket or $15.34 times the number of tickets you have sold if your organization is not tax exempt (you keep $5 per ticket) and/or any unsold tickets on or before the final ticket turn-in session.

How do we get tickets?
Each participating organization receives an initial allotment of tickets at the ticket distribution luncheon. Remember, no money is required up front for your initial supply of tickets. After you have submitted your participation form for the event, you will receive a confirmation email of your participation including details about the luncheon time and location.

Once you have paid for your initial supply of tickets, you may request more tickets. To request more tickets, please email info@springspin.com or call (866) 388-SPIN (7746). Once full payment for all sold tickets has been received, subsequent tickets will be sent via FedEx Express Saver.  When requesting additional tickets please confirm the physical street address where you would like to receive the tickets. A signature is required.

What are the rules regarding ticket sales?
Tickets are to be treated as cash. Team Captains are responsible for lost or stolen tickets. They are valued at 19.99, plus tax and should never be sold at more or less than that value. Tickets are not to be given away or reproduced under any circumstances. Tickets cannot be mailed to individuals or companies in hopes of purchase. Each organization must account for all sold and unsold tickets by the final ticket turn-in on Wednesday, May 26th.

Charging Tax
Please fax a copy of your New York State Tax Exempt form ST 119.1 to 866-871-9937. Only those organizations that have sent us a copy of this tax form verifying their sales tax exemption status prior to receiving tickets are exempt from collecting tax. If you have not sent a copy of this form prior to the ticket distribution luncheon, you will be responsible for collecting tax on every ticket sold. The ticket price, including tax is $20.34.

Ticket Tracking
All tickets have a bar code and ticket number. The bar code will identify the selling organization. The ticket number will be used by the organization for tracking ticket sales. All Team Captains are responsible for accounting for all ticket sales according to the schedule provided. To help you stay organized we provide you with an accounting, by ticket number of all your tickets.

Ticket Sales Reporting
It is very important that you follow the schedule for ticket reporting, payment and reconciliation for all tickets sold. We use this information to plan for guests attending Spring Spin: One Good Turn To Benefit Another™ and to calculate the winner of the incentive prizes.

Important: It is necessary to report on each and every ticket-reporting day even if you have not yet sold tickets and do not have money to turn in. To be eligible for the incentive prizes, your organization MUST report ticket sales by all the dates listed. If your organization has no ticket sales or money to turn in, you must still send your report by email to info@springspin.com

Are there recommendations on ways to sell tickets?
Get the word out to your members, supporters, friends, neighbors, etc., by hanging posters, putting information in your newsletter, on your website and through Facebook, Twitter and other Social Networking sites. Once people realize the great value, the fun it will be and that buying a ticket will support your organization - they won't want to miss it. We will also provide posters and flyers about the event to your organization at no cost.   Or, you may download a flyer that you can customize for your organization.

How do Team Captains receive FREE tickets?
Leadership has its privileges! Every Team Captain (two tickets per charity) who attends the ticket distribution luncheon will receive two COMPLIMENTARY tickets to the Spring Spin™ event. Note: These “comp” tickets do not qualify for the season pass upgrade or the C’mon Back tickets – only paid Spring Spin™ tickets qualify for the added value benefits. Additionally, every Team Captain will receive two FREE tickets, valid any operating day during the 2010 season, at the final ticket turn-in if their organization sold 50 tickets or more.

If someone pays for tickets by check, to whom do they make it out?
Your organization! You can also suggest the purchaser use a bank charge if your organization accepts contributions that way. Then, your organization creates a consolidated check made out to Spring Spin for $14.99 times the number of tickets you have sold or $15.34 times the number of tickets you have sold if your organization is not tax exempt.

What do we do if the ticket and stub become separated?
It is important to keep the ticket with its stub attached so guests can enter the park. If the perforated ticket becomes separated, please tape the two pieces together, and make sure the ticket sequence numbers match.

What about inclement weather?
This event offers 12 days from which to choose to attend. Some rides and shows may close temporarily in severe weather. As soon as conditions permit safe operation, these rides and shows will re-open. In the rare event that the park is closed due to extended severe weather, tickets will be honored for admission any other regular operating day through June, 2010. Please call 518-792-3500, Ext. 3376 to determine if the event has been officially cancelled due to weather.

Can guests upgrade to a Season Pass?
YES! To take advantage of this great offer, guests must present their Spring Spin™ ticket stub along with an additional $34.99, plus tax at the Guest Relations window (guests need to enter the park, turn in their Spring Spin ticket at the turnstile, then use the stub to purchase the upgrade). This offer is available only on the day of the event.

How do guests purchase the C’mon Back ticket?
To receive this great added value, guests must present their Spring Spin™ ticket along with $13, plus tax at the Guest Relations window. This special “C’mon Back!” ticket is valid any day during the 2010 season and available for purchase only on the day of the Spring Spin event.

Does everyone need a ticket to enter the park on Spring Spin™: One Good Turn to Benefit Another?
Yes, everyone who enters the park must have a ticket, except guests ages 2 and under, who will be admitted free. Tickets purchased the day of the event will be $40.99, plus tax.

Will all of the rides be open?
