Thanks for your help

Hello! The 2024 program is not even published yet… when we know, we will share it!
entrees.com it is better not to buy anything at all, if it is canceled for any reason, they will not refund your money.
In my point of view, if it is true, it is fraud on the part of the company. Do I have to inform myself if it is true? THANKS FOR THE WARNING
On which website will tickets be sold? I have NOT seen any statement from the city council with the dates or the official website where they can be sold. Thank you
Hello, Martha! I think I read that on entrees.com, but the ideal is to consult the City Council, since they are the official body that organizes it. Greetings 🙂
Thank you very much for the monthly LPGC Carnival programs: detailed, clear and practical.
It doesn't matter! all the best!
Could you let me know when the pre-selection tickets for the drag gala go on sale, as well as the day on which the gala tickets go on sale?
Thank you very much in advance.
Hi!
Tickets to the Drag Gala go on sale on February 11 and those for the queen's gala on February 2 (as I see in a statement from the city council), but we are not the official body, it is better to contrast with them.
A greeting!
Thanks for showing us the programs
It doesn't matter!
