FAQs
▶ I purchased 8 tickets four weeks ago, now two of my friends have purchased tickets and I would like them to sit with us since there are still two seats left at my table. How does this work?
This is a difficult situation. Efforts are always made to sit friends together. It is always more fun to sit with friends. When you buy individual tickets and do not reserve and pay for an entire table, then only the seats you pay for are reserved for you. Empty seats are sold to guests on a first come, first serve basis. If these seats have not yet been filled, your friends will be seated with you.
▶ I paid & received raffle tickets, what do I do with the completed stubs?
Bring the stubs to the Ball with you. There will be a drum located next to the silent auction area in which you should deposit them before the drawing at 11:00pm. If you will not be attending the Ball, bring them to City Hall or the Community Center by noon on the Saturday of the Ball.
▶ When does the food line start and what is the menu?
The food line opens at 7:00 and stays open until about 9:00 p.m. See this years menu under the event link. Dessert and snacks are served throughout the evening.
▶ When does the second band start?
The second band starts at 10:00 p.m.
▶ If I can’t attend the ball, can I get a refund?
No. Refunds are not given. You may consider your payment a contribution to the Kids on the Block Program. Another option is to leave a message through the Web Site that you have tickets to sell. Once all of the tickets are sold, we will help you to resell your tickets.
▶ I sent in money but did not receive tickets in the mail. How do I check in?
Confirmations and tickets are not mailed. When you arrive at the Ball, your reservation will be listed under the name(s) used on your reservation.
▶ What is the attire?
The attire is formal. Many guests wear tuxedos or ball gowns, but this is optional. Women in nice dresses and men in suits is also acceptable. Guests also dress in the theme of the Ball, which is acceptable too.
▶ How can I be seated at someone’s table?
It is always best to send in your reservations together. If you can't do this, when you send in your reservation, make sure you make a note on the form that you want to sit with someone who has already made a reservation. If seats are still available, every attempt will be to seat you at their table. Send in your reservation as soon as possible.
▶ I want to sit on the main floor, what is the process for this?
The main floor is reserved for large groups that reserve an entire table on a first come, first served basis. So, to sit on the main floor, you should organize your friends to reserve an entire table and send in your reservation as soon as possible. The main floor usually sells out in the first two weeks.
▶ I want to sit with my friends. How is the seating arrangement made?
The best way to ensure that you are seated at the same table is to send in your reservations together. If you need two or more tables, make a note on your reservation that you would like tables side by side. If you are unable to send in your reservations together, make note on your reservation that you would like to be placed at the same table as your friends. Every attempt will be made to seat friends together.
▶ How do I get my name on the invite list?
Send an e-mail to director@mayorsball.com with the name and address and your name will be placed on the list. Address and email changes can be made in the same way.
