Tickets for the 2013 Merrie Monarch Festival, being held March 31st to April 6th, in Hilo, are available via the mail.  You can apply for a maximum of 2 tickets to the 3-days of competition, Thurs (Apr 4th), Fri (Apr 5th), and Sat (Apr 6th).  Tickets costs depend upon seat selection.  You can purchase tickets to the Miss Aloha Hula competition held on Thursday night, or you can purchase 2-day tickets for the group competitions held on Friday and Saturday nights.

Most activities during the Festival week are free to the public; however this year, tickets are needed to attend the Wednesday Hōʻike and the three-day hula competition.  This year tickets to the Wednesday night Ho’ike will cost $5.00 each and you can apply for up to 4 tickets.  The Merrie Monarch Festival Committee is coordinating a special Ho’ike to salute the 50th Celebration of the Merrie Monarch Festival.  We have invited some of the original dancers, first Kāne winners and special guests to grace the stage.  You can find the application for the Ho’ike tickets by clicking the link above.

You can print out your ticket request form for the 3-days of hula competition, as well as the instructions in filling out the form, at http://www.merriemonarch.com/images/images_2012/2013_tickets.pdf.

All applications must be postmarked no earlier than December 26th (yesterday), so you still have a good chance to get tickets if you act quickly.  Tickets for the Merrie Monarch hula competition sell out quickly, so if you want to attend, I would strongly suggest you print out, complete and mail your application today!
