Eat Mobile Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: If it rains, will I get my money back?
A: The event is rain or shine. We will not offer refunds.

Q: Does my ticket cover the cost of samples?
A: Yes.

Q: Why does my general admission ticket cost more than it did last year? 
A:
With each year, Eat Mobile is all about enhancing the experience of its attendees. Last year, with more than 3,000 tickets sold, lines were too long and samples ran out. This year, we're selling about 1/3 less tickets total, meaning much shorter lines and more food for you, dear ticket holder! More bang for your buck plus a taste of nearly 40 samples from this city's finest food carts. 

Q: I'm thinking of getting a pre-tasting ticket, what does it get me?
A: Pre-tasting tickets allow the bearer into Eat Mobile an hour and a half before the general admission ticket holders. Pre-tasting includes samples from a carefully curated roster of Willamette Week's favorite food carts without the lines! Guests are welcome to stay for general admission event once the pre-tasting is over. Only 400 pre-tasting tickets will be sold.
