[HCRA] Big E Space Chat Details

[Rich]

Jeff,

I seriously doubt the Big E volunteers manning the box office or the box office itself will be that well coordinated/aware. Me thinks if you show your FCC license you will get your ticket vouchers. 

I say this having been an IT worker for the Eastern States for many years. I dealt with ticketing. Times do change, but the nature of running the fair does not. It’s always a bit chaotic. You’ll be good. 

Hope you can listen to the ISS downlink.
