Lottery Ticketing System – Schedule has changed Due to COVID-19
Due to overwhelming demand for tour tickets, Tovrea Carraro Society has determined that a Lottery Ticket System is the only fair mechanism for distribution of tickets to our Guests.
Initially meant to begin for the Fall 2020 regular tour tickets, the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to exchange regular tour tickets from the Spring to the Fall 2020, has changed the regular tour ticket time period for the Lottery Ticket System. The launch date for these tickets has not yet been determined; if you are on our email mailing list for updates you will be notified – and always check our website for updates, too.
The Lottery Ticket System will now cover the Spring 2021 Regular Tour Tickets (January – May 2021). Special Event Tours will NOT be included in the Lottery System at this time, but may be in the future.
If you are interested in adding your email to the mailing list for updates on this new Lottery Ticket System, please click here. You are NOT signing up for the Lottery, itself, but will receive updates when it is open, policies for the Lottery Ticket System and other pertinent information.
