Our sale opens to everyone on Tuesday, April 23, at 5pm. There is no pre-sale or opening night admission charge. Only volunteers are allowed in the Arena before that time.
Shoppers often begin lining up by mid-morning that day. We don’t use a numbering system; if you want to keep your place in line you’ll need to remain on site or work out a deal with the people around you in line. The line is typically a friendly, social scene.
Arriving early only gives a minor advantage, however. Because of the size of our sales floor, everyone in line is usually shopping within 5 minutes after the doors open, so you can show up at 5:10 and walk right in.
