Please note: we can only guarantee dietary restrictions noted by Wednesday, April 17. Please submit your dietary restrictions through the ticketing portal or by contacting Dream@childrenscancer.org as soon as possible so we can order you the corresponding meal.

There are three different ticket levels for Dream 2024:
VIP ticket/table: New this year! You can purchase individual VIP tickets for $500 or a VIP table of ten (10) seats for $5,000. In addition to all of the general ticket inclusions, VIP tickets include access to an early VIP reception with the research Dream Team from the University of Minnesota, the CCRF Board of Directors, Dream Committee, CCRF CEO, and corporate sponsor attendees, professionally printed event photos of you and your guest(s) and two (2) drink tickets/person for the bar. VIP table purchasers will also have the option to elect to have a University of Minnesota cancer researcher sit at their dinner table (table purchasers must acknowledge that this sacrifices one of your ten seats for guests).
General tickets/table: You can purchase individual general tickets for $350 or tables of ten (10) general seats for $3,500. This ticket includes welcome hors d’oeuvres at a pre-dinner reception, a plated dinner and entrance to the after party featuring live entertainment and late-night bites.
Young Professionals ticket: New this year! Guests aged 35 years or younger have the option to purchase general Dream tickets at a discounted rate of $150. This ticket includes everything offered with the general ticket.
If you purchase individual tickets, you will have the option of including a table name or seating preference in the “special request” field of your order form, so we know who you’d like to be sat with.
-
All attendees will receive a link via text or email to check-in 24 hours before the event. You will be asked to provide any missing information including your phone number, guests’ phone numbers (optional) and payment information so you’re able to bid and donate directly to CCRF.
If you purchased multiple tickets, were given two complimentary tickets or sponsor tickets, or are already sharing a cart with another attendee, you'll be asked if anyone else is arriving with you. Check the box next to anyone you're checking in with, click next, enter their name if you haven't already, and indicate whether you'd like to bid and pay together or separately.
Once you have completed the check-in process, you’ll see a QR code for yourself and any guests you’re checking in with. Present this to the check-in team when you arrive at the event. You can access this QR code at any time by clicking the link in the Express Check-In Questionnaire text or from Profile > My Tickets > View Express Pass on the Event Page.

No, we do not provide physical tickets to the event. You will be invited via email or text to check in 24 hours ahead of the event day. Once you complete the check-in process, you are all set to show up and enjoy the evening.

Yes! To let us know of the change, please update your guest’s information in the ticketing portal. If guest information is changed after April 18, however, we can’t guarantee we’ll be able to fulfill dietary restrictions.
-
Yes! When you purchase a table for Dream, you will receive a link to the ticketing portal. You can log in to that portal at any time to update guest information.
