The main thing I like about the fairever pass is geting it by mail, avoiding the ticket booth lines and thus enjoying the gate show. However, just so mgmt doesn't read all these posts and consider more price increases......
....grumble, grumble, grumble....

At this rate, I'll have to sell off my Lost in Space memorabilia to afford entry...except for the Angela Cartwright picture, of course... Actually, its been a few years since the pass cost was raised...

A lot of talk around the internet about MDRF and photo passes for fairever pass owners and new restrictions. . .heck I even heard they're possibly going to make the event smoke-free due to heat from AA county.
I'm personally waiting till things are announced on the MDRF website and not from someone who heard from someone on staff that ". . . . (insert shocking news here)."
Whatever happens. . . we'll all be there together. . .ale/cider in hand. . .smile on our faces and cash being spent! LOL

Received from Magpie via Vyxen:
"You may have heard some rumblings of changes regarding the Fairever Pass. I did. However, all the info I wanted to know just wasn't available anywhere so I just spoke with Carolyn at the office. The MDRF website will be updated soon, but she was very appreciative of any info getting out early. So, here goes:
Passes this year will cost $80.00
Passes this year will need a photo.
You may send in your photo to info@rennfest.com with your name in the subject line. Credit card information may be called in if you don't want to include the information in an e-mail, too.
Pics should be in color and about passport photosize.
If you don't have access to a photo beforehand they will be taken the first day of faire on site.* If no photo is taken, then you'll have to furnish a picture ID to gain entrance with your Fairever Pass.
There will be a separate line for Passholders to enter MDRF.
I asked Carolyn how these changes came about and she said that Passholders requested them.
~ Vyxen
*Please plan on a long wait in line."

This wouldn't be such a problem if I knew more of how to resize photos, etc. I certainly do not want to spend my first half day of faire in a line for photos! Any help with this resizing/emailing stuff would be most helpful. Thanks and thanks for the info!!

One more question...Kendall and I have decided to TRY to get our fairever pass through the mail, which, of course, will involve having to email a pic to MDRF....we're gonna try to take our photos afresh and having a friend of ours try to resize and email...would it be a problem, I wonder, if we were not in garb for our photos? After all, some people look very different when in garb and when in "dane" clothing...sorry for all the questions here regarding this...it probably isn't a big deal, but I find myself panicking that we're not gonna get our passes before season and then will have to spend hours in a long line...*sigh*
Carry on...

This wouldn't be such a problem if I knew more of how to resize photos, etc. I have an email in to the faire admins to find out about all of this. . .hopefully the reply will include a size. I'd be more than happy to resize and clean up all photos sent to me. I can boost the midtones which usually become muddy when printed on those membership card printers like they use at PARF. (I'm assuming that MDRF is going to use similar equipment)

Thanks, BF...I know I worry too much, but I want as smooth an operation going into faire as possible this year. I thought we were ahead of the game by having our lodging all lined up further in advance of this year than we did last...maybe by the time we're 80 and have attended MDRF for many, many years, we'll get the hang of it...ha!
Also...geez, I just read your thing about the rumors regarding "smoke free" status...I sure hope that doesn't fly...the SDW's and entourage MUST have our cigars!
I sure appreciate your help with all of this...and for calming me down a bit...I freak easily sometimes...

I was a bit rushed leaving work yesterday and didn't have time to post the info I learned to this board, so my thanks to Magpie for forwarding it to BF and posting it.
If you send in a .jpeg MDRF will size it appropriately for your ID.
And I agree, how one looks in garb is sometimes significantly different from regular 'danes.

I'll just head down to the Walmart photo studio with the family in garb, and get passport shots taken. That way I don't have to fiddle and I can just send in the pics. $80 is kinda sucky, but one thing that we should all remember is that BGE screwed all of Maryland over with the rate increase this summer. So I don't feel all that bad about $10 more to keep the lights on and the beer cold.
