Yes, you can, for a transfer fee of $25 per person. If you (transferor) have reserved with the accommodation option, the person to whom you are transferring to (transferee), will be in the same room. The transferee will need to register in the Sadhu Sanga mobile app and make the payment using a custom payment link that we will be sending. Once we receive the payment, we will refund the transferor after deducting the transfer fees. This transfer is allowed until April 15.

No, you need to register to get access to the kirtans. You can either register for the own accommodation option which is $185 per person over 5 years of age or you can buy the daily passes, which is $80 per day. Please check the other FAQ for more details on these two options.

Yes, it is important that you register your daughter as well, even though you are not paying for her and she will be sharing the bed with the other members. The reason is some hotels have a policy to limit the number of people in a room, regardless of their age. By knowing the total number of people in a group, we will be able to allocate a room accordingly.

You are charged only for people who are 6 years or more. Private room fees are dependent on the number of people in your group who are 6 years and above. You will need to accommodate your kids (5 years and younger) in any room option that you have chosen.

Yes, we have a daily pass which you can get. This costs $80 for Saturday, $80 for Sunday, $80 for Friday and Monday combined. You can buy one or more of these passes. This fee gives you access to all the kirtans and Prasadam for that day. You can either park for free at the nearby mall or pay $6/day to park in the garage at the venue. This is the fee even if you do not want to have Prasadam, but just attend the kirtans. And there are no passes available to just pay for a meal. You can purchase these daily passes for yourself and your family members in the Sadhu Sanga mobile app itself. These daily passes are non-refundable. We won’t be selling any day passes at the event itself, as it’s not logistically feasible.
