Same price.
Pre-ordering saves time.
Given a sizable portion of VCF attendees will also buy a museum ticket,
unless you offer a 1/2 price advance ticket or combo vcf / museum ticket,
not sure who would want to buy a ticket in advance. Those who buy a ticket
now will not be able to take advantage of the 1/2 price VCF ticket that
comes with the purchase of their museum admission.

From vcfed.org:
"*Note:* Tickets are half-price for Computer History Museum members and
those who purchase CHM admission the day of the event."

Hold on a second I thought CHM admission was included in the price of the ticket. Also, is
it saying that you have to be a CHM member and buy CHM tickets to get half off (i.e. just
buying on the day of admission is not enough) otherwise I agree with Bill those of us who
bought our tickets early you are being screwed.

Yes, please clarify both the CHM admission and how my Paypal receipt
email will translate into admission in various places.

Any word on how the admission will work for those of us who prepaid?
Do we need to show our PayPal receipt, just have our ID with the same name, etc.?

purchased.

CHM admission is not part of VCF admission. Sorry if we caused confusion
about that.
CHM gives half off admission if you have a VCF ticket, and vice-versa.
We hope the success of this year's show allows us to have a deeper
partner with CHM in the future, vs. this year we're simply an event
group renting the space.

THAT should be mentioned on the ticket page of the website. (along with
full details of how much, a link to the CHM ticket page, AND
howzbout, on the ticket page, have a deal to buy both CHM and VCF
admission as a package deal?

Since he stated they are only a renter, sounds like
they are only
getting what a renting event gets as a courtesy. They may not have the
means to collect funds for the CHM admission and guarantee that. That
sounds a bit complicated if there isn't a pre existing agreement to do
that, and from what Evan said there isn't.
Just show your ticket and buy a CHM ticket isn't that hard to do. I
doubt they will run out of tickets to be admitted to the CHM.
thanks

You're right. It is updated now.

We weren't able to arrange that. It is definitely on our radar for next
year.

I agree with Fred on this. My second day purchase (and a ticket for a second
person) was based on the thinking that CHM was included. That by itself is
not such a big deal, a little bit of money lost, the bigger issue is timing.
It seems as if the cool exhibits (IBM 1401 and PDP 1 Space War) at CHM are
all on Saturday. If the festival continues on in the future you guys may
seriously want to consider better coordination (e.g. CHM has exhibits open
on both Saturday and Sunday). As it has already been pointed out a large
group of people attending one will probably want to attend the other.

VCF West is definitely back to stay. You're right, we need to improve
some things for next year. We already had a long list before this ticket
confusion arose. I promise this year's show will be awesome, and next
year's will be awesome-r.

There will be PDP-1 and 1401 demos on Sunday as well.
I arranged for this relatively early in VCF planning.

According to their website, there is about 400 parking spaces at/next to CHM plus some 200
near site parking. As far as I'm aware it's always free even when they have
valet because parking has filled up the onsite parking.
Maybe someone who has been there for a weekend event can comment more on their experience.
