When is the next event?
Bingo A Go Go events are held twice each year. Our next event, Boob Tube Bingo, is September 25, 2010.
Where can I get tickets?
Tickets are now on sale online, click here to purchase. There will be no actual tickets for on-line purchases; just a receipt. If you aren’t at a printer, fear not. Your reservation will be at the check-in table at the event. You can also buy tickets directly at the following stores in Minneapolis until the day before the event. Call first to make sure they are still available.
- Rainbow Road, 109 W. Grant Street, (612) 872-8448
- True Colors Bookstore, 4755 Chicago Avenue S, (612) 821-9630
How much does it cost?
$35 in advance. $40 at the door.
What does the cost include?
Admission to the event and a 9-page packet with 9 games, 6 cards per page. Extra packets available for purchase at $35 each. Also includes loads of fun entertainment.
How can I be sure I can sit with my friends?
If you have a minimum of five friends, you can reserve your very own table, that's how! Pick a table captain and any purchase of six or more tickets automatically reserves a table under the name you chose as your table captain. When you click the on-line link above, just follow the instructions for ordering. FYI – Each person in your group can order tickets separately, using their own credit card. There is a spot to designate the table captain of your group and you will all be seated at the same table. No tickets will be mailed; you just need to check in when you arrive. Questions? Call Lee Haugee at 612.236.9527.
What time does it start?
Doors open at 6:00. Ticket holders must be seated by 6:45. Unoccupied seats may be resold. Games begin at 7:00. Be sure to arrive early to meet your friends and enjoy the pre-Bingo food and beverages. Check out the pre-bingo activities!
Where do I go?
Please check the home page for exact location for each Bingo A Go Go. One never knows where we may show next!
What kinds of prizes are there?
Some games have cash prizes - multiple winners split the cash. Other games have fun and funky game prizes - multiple winners result in a playoff. We strive to secure amazing raffle prizes – A dinner a month for a year, theatre tickets at the Twin Cities finest venues, home design, A Weekend Getaway from a fine hotel, pamper yourself pretty at local spas. Would you believe that we once offered a Botox treatment?
What else is there besides Bingo?
With your hostess, the Twin Cities' own Miss Richfield 1981, you can count on lots of laughs throughout the evening. And don’t be surprised if some “unusual” entertainment shows up occasionally. You can buy raffle tickets for chances to win fabulous prizes. You might even be the lucky winner of the final Cover All game - $200 in cold hard cash! You can eat yourself silly with great Bingo fare. Of course, you also receive great satisfaction from knowing that Bingo A Go Go benefits Clare Housing and Park House providing supportive housing and day health services to the HIV/AIDS community.
What if I'm hearing impaired?
ASL interpreted upon request. Email lee.haugee(at)clarehousing.org two weeks prior to the event to request an interpreter. You will be notified if one is available.
What kind of food will be available?
Delectable surprises, depending on what we can get donated. Remember, we want Bingo A Go Go to be a fabulous and fun event. However, the bottom line is that we need to raise valuable funds to serve people living with HIV/AIDS. Our food sleuths are busy finding donations of your favorite foods! There will always be Sweet Martha’s Cookies!
What kind of beverages will be available?
Water, pop and selections from a full cocktail menu if you are thus inclined.
What about smoking and guns?
This is a smoke-free and gun-free event. Smoking is allowed outside the building.
