Our "home venue" in San Francisco is able to have us the following dates:
-Saturday, January 21st for a regular evening event starting at 6 pm
-Sunday January 22nd for a day event starting at noon. 

The Sunday Noon event will be a Fresh Meat Horse Market. This means that we will be only accepting Mares who have never attended a Horse Market as a Mare before. This is to help the Mares who have not gone to an event before.

The ticket process is the same as always for both events. Mares can sign up for our lottery and Stallion tickets are open now and can be purchased right after registration! (Note: Any Stallion can attend the Fresh Meat Event. You don’t have to be a first timer to go as a Stallion.)

As Stallion tickets are purchased, we will then randomly draw Mares from the lottery list. This is for a couple of reasons:

• To ensure we have the right ratio of Stallions to Mares and that we don't have too many Mares for the number of Stallions we have. We will only release Mare tickets from the lottery according to the number of Stallions sold (so please Stallions get your tickets as soon as possible so that we can draw early for all willing mares. San Francisco tends to sell out so make sure you get a ticket!)
• This is also to make sure getting a Mare ticket is as fair as possible for everyone wanting to go.

We know the lottery system is not a perfect system, but we feel the benefits out weigh the cons for attending Mares.

Lastly, we like to let new people to Horse Market know of a few options for attending that they may not know about. After you sign up for the lottery to go as a Mare, it will take you to the ticket purchase page. 

Once there, you have a couple of options:

• 1. You can close the page and cross your fingers you get randomly chosen in the lotto.
• 2. After registering as a Mare, if you don’t mind attending as a Stallion, you can simply purchase a Stallion ticket and plan to go as a Stallion. But, at any point, if you get chosen in the lottery, we can transfer your Stallion ticket over to a Mare ticket if you like. (Note: We have no idea which Stallion ticket holders are on the Mare lotto when drawing names. It is completely random who gets chosen and both lists are separate from one another.) 

You can choose this option if you want to ensure you get to attend no matter the role. In addition, this adds more Stallions to the event which means we can then add more Mares.  

• 3. On the ticket page, you may purchase a Golden Mare ticket if any are available. These are VERY limited in quantity and go fast. They cost a little more than a regular Mare ticket in exchange for bypassing the lottery. Keep in mind these are VERY limited in quantity and are first come first served. 
• 4. There is always volunteering. Volunteers do get to have breaks and can have a little time as a Mare, Stallion, or even both if they like and the time permits. It may sound like it could be a lot of work but in reality it's not and it's actually fun. We promise! We have a signup button next to the ticket button. We like to fill volunteer spots with people who sign up for all 3 shifts and then move to people who sign up for 2 shifts and so on. The more shifts you can help out with the more likely you will be selected.
