FAQ

Will there be more tickets for sale?

Generally, once tickets are sold out, they are sold out for good and we don't add any more. However, in the rare chance more tickets do become available, we will always make the appropriate announcements via our email newsletter and our social media.
Can I go to the Soirée with my Lit Feud ticket?

Yes! Lit Feud and the Fantasy Lush Soirée have the same ticket, so you have access to both events. Originally the ticket was titled "Lit Feud," but it was later retitled to "Lit Feud + Soirée" to help those looking for the soirée ticket. The soirée is a mixer event with light appetizers and a cash bar. All attendees with a ticket must attend, and 21+ wristbands can be picked up for the bar. Dress up or cosplay if you'd like to! The Lit Feud author tournament will occur right after.
How do Lit Talk tickets work?

A Lit Talk Add-on ticket gives you access to all general sessions during the weekend event. 1 ticket = all sessions.
Can I bring my kids?

IBF is a kid-friendly event, so you can certainly bring your kids. Children 12 and under may attend for free. All children must be supervised by a guardian/parent. If your kids would prefer a lanyard and/or a swag tote, you will have to purchase a ticket for them.
Will books be available to buy on-site, or do we bring our own?

The on-site bookstore (B&N Fairfax) will be open on both days of the festival, at the University of the District of Columbia. Many authors will be selling their books at their table as well, so you can purchase books at the festival AND/OR you can bring your books from home to be signed.
Are tickets refundable?

After March 1, 2025, tickets for IBF are non-refundable. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at info@imaginariumbookfestival.com. You may safely trade and resell tickets in our website member forum.
Am I allowed to bring books from home?

Yes! Definitely feel free to bring books from home to have your favorite author(s) sign. However, there is a limit of THREE(3) BOOKS each time you go up to have something signed by a queued author. If you have more books you would like signed, you can just get back in line, if there is a line.
Is there a hotel discount code?

We are currently not affiliated with any hotels and do not have any hotel blocks reserved for the event. If you are coming from out-of-town and you're hoping to stay at a hotel near the University of the District of Columbia (IBF venue), we have a list available here.
