We try our best to keep all our rates as low cost as possible. The true rate of running Scrib Fest comes to $160/ticket/day. We are proud to offer our Regular Rate tickets at a 50% discount. However, we also have a Reduced Rate if you are in need of more assistance and a Boosted Rate if you would like to pay-it-forward.
