I have never purchased the "Boss Hog" pass, so I cannot speak regarding that.

I remember the food was in the $3-$7 range for most stuff. A few samples will fill you up. Beer prices were $4-$5. I remember them offering Nola Blonde and Brown.

Definitely go and pray for no rain. It's one of my favorite New Orleans events.

ETA: My girlfriend and I both had our debit card numbers ripped off out there. I only had $70 worth of fraudulent charges, but she had close to $300 in fraudulent charges. Both of our banks traced it back to the Hogs for a Cause ATM machines. So, in short, I'd have cash handy.

12 Pence, sorry to hear about your debit issues. Im going to contact our ATM guy right now and make sure this doesnt happen again.

This year you'll purchase food tickets and drink tickets which you can then use to get food or drink. Food tickets will be in $1 increments and drink tickets in $2 increments.

Food pricing is up to the individual teams but usually ranges between 3-8 tickets. Hoggy Snacks and non pork vendors will be in that range as well.

For drinks, cokes/water/iced tea will be $2 (1 drink ticket), Nola blonde and Brown $4(2 drink tickets), specialty NOLA cans and draft, Hogtails, and glasses of wine are $6 (3 drink tickets), and bottles of wine are $20(10 drink tickets)

Yes on chairs/blankets and whatever eles you bring in. No outside food or drink. Stage 2 this year is inside a large tent which will have its own tables and chairs, kind of like a beerhall or juke joint.
