You can buy tickets at the door, it's around 20 bucks for a weekend pass, if I remember right. Much cheaper with the VIP passes that Busse, Swamp Rat, and Scrap Yard hand out. How far in advance you have to plan depends completely on your own travel needs. I live less than half an hour from the cobb galleria, so I can pretty much show up, grab a ticket, and start buying knives <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
