Sold Out: Pullen Park's Holiday Express sells out same day tickets go on sale

They're all gone.

Tickets to Pullen Park's Holiday Express sold out today, just hours after they went on sale. Despite some outages this morning with the city's RecLink system, hundreds of families picked up the coveted tickets for the popular holiday event.

This year's event, which is Dec. 1 to Dec. 4 and Dec. 8 to Dec. 11, includes a visit with Santa, a ride on the holiday train to view lights, unlimited carousel rides, a snow covered sledding hill, crafts and other activities. Tickets for this event have sold out nearly every year - but never this fast!

If you were one of the lucky ones, congratulations!

If you weren't, never fear. There are plenty of holiday events in our region and the tickets haven't even gone on sale for them yet. Check my posts from 2015 about Santa trains and holiday light shows for more information and to make your plans.
