Sonoma County Chapter No. 48 Disabled American Veterans

Child Dinner Tickets are for children 12 and under. Children sit with guardians at designated open-seating tables. The child's ticket entry time is based on the guardian's earliest ticket check-in time.

One Child Dinner Ticket

Seating is at designated open seating tables.
The Early Bird ticket includes: 1) Early admittance (3:30 PM), 2) happy hour, and 3) an opportunity to win early-drawn raffle prizes. When you purchase single tickets, you select seats at designated open seating tables, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of the event. To ensure your party sits together, please arrive early (at your earliest check-in time), as buying multiple single tickets does NOT reserve tables or seats. 

Each guest must bring their unique ticket with QR Code (printed or digital). Guests in groups don’t need to arrive together but must each have their own ticket for entry.

Early Bird (3:30 PM)  - One Dinner Ticket

Your table will be reserved for eight guests. The price reflects the Early Bird table discount. The Early Bird ticket includes: 1) Early admittance (3:30 PM), 2) happy hour, and 3) an opportunity to win early-drawn raffle prizes. Premium tables get first access to their reserved tables in the auditorium. 

Each rectangular table seats eight people (four on each side). If you purchase more than one table, they will be reserved end-to-end to accommodate your group. For larger parties, tables will be arranged end-to-end and parallel to keep your group’s tables as close together as possible. Purchasing a table includes a group discount.
