COMING UP: The Window To Claim Your ApeFest 2023 Tickets Opens Tonight. Here's What You Need To Know

ApeFest 2023 in Hong Kong is right around the corner and the window for Bored Ape Yacht Club members to claim their tickets opens tonight!

Beginning at 8 P.M. EST, BAYC members can visit Yuga Labs’ https://apefest.com website and claim their tickets for the club’s 3rd annual ApeFest!

As the Bored Ape Gazette previously reported, ApeFest 2023 will be taking place in Hong Kong from November 3rd to November 5th.

These tickets will be distributed on a first come first serve basis, according to the club.

Further, in an effort to make sure only members who can attend the event are claiming tickets, the BAYC will be charging members a $169 deposit fee that will be returned to them once they scan in at ApeFest 2023 or give up their ticket to someone on the waitlist. Along with this refundable deposit, the BAYC will also be charging Apes $269 USD for a plus one ticket.

“Our goal is to have a packed house of apes,” the BAYC wrote. “So the deposit serves as an incentive for apes that can no longer attend, to remember to release their tickets to the next in line on the waiting list. If you do attend, the $169 ticket will be refunded shortly after you attend the event and get scanned in.”

If you’re unable to make it to ApeFest 2023, fear not. The BAYC has all sorts of things in store for members who cannot make it!

“There's plenty in store for apes who can’t make it to Hong Kong,” the club wrote. “There’ll be ways to participate virtually, and we’re also working with the BAYC community to host IRL events globally. Stay tuned!”

The Bored Ape Gazette will continue to follow tonight’s ticket claim and will keep you posted on all things ApeFest. Stay tuned!
