RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Raleigh’s Holiday Express at Pullen Park is once again a sell-out event.
Holiday Express runs from Nov. 29 through Dec. 15. Tickets are sold exclusively online through the city website but they usually sell out quickly. This year, they sold out about two hours after going on sale.
Buying re-sale Holiday Express tickets
The city is warning people to use extreme caution if buying tickets online from anyone who claims to be offering them.
If you are receiving tickets from someone else, it’s important to keep in mind that they are transferrable between guests, not transferrable between nights. Tickets are transferable via email or text message.
The city sold tickets for $16 plus tax per guest. Their policy states they may not be re-sold for more than face value.
