A blind renewal means purchasing series tickets without knowing the author lineup.

If you are a Cabin member with a $300+ level membership, you will receive an email to purchase blind (without knowing the season lineup) R&C series tickets on May 7, 2024, at 10 AM.

If you have not yet picked up your 2023-24 Readings & Conversations series tickets, they will be available for you to pick up at The Egyptian Theatre at each of the next two R&C events (Gabrielle Zevin’s event on April 24th and Ed Yong’s event on May 14th). You may also pick them up at The Cabin Tuesdays through Thursdays from 11 AM until 2 PM.

If you are a 2023-24 Readings & Conversations series subscriber, your purchase includes three books from our featured authors:

• “Differ We Must” by Steve Inskeep

• “Chasing Hope” by Nicholas Kristof

• A title from Elizabeth Gilbert (TBA)

If you have not yet picked up your copy of “Differ We Must” by Steve Inskeep, you can pick it up at The Cabin Tuesday through Thursday from 11 AM until 2 PM.

The two remaining books included with your series tickets—”Chasing Hope” by Nicholas Kristof and a title TBA by Elizabeth Gilbert—will be available for pickup at Elizabeth Gilbert's event on May 20th.

Starting with the 2024-25 season, you may purchase as many tickets as you would like.

While we cannot guarantee specific seats, The Cabin’s Storyteller members (and higher) get an earlier same-day preview of the following year’s lineup, and can purchase tickets at that time. Additionally, these members have the opportunity to “blind” purchase the series a few days before the lineup is revealed. See our ticketing timeline below on this page.

No. The best way to get a chance to purchase series tickets is by becoming a Cabin member. After the renewal window, all remaining series tickets are first-come, first-served to all Cabin members.

All membership levels have the opportunity to purchase two Readings & Conversations series tickets, when available. However, Storyteller members (and higher) get an earlier same-day preview of the following year’s lineup and can purchase tickets at that time.

Don’t wait. Purchase your series tickets as soon as soon as you receive an email to purchase. See the timeline below for dates.

The same seats are not guaranteed. You will need to select your own seats when you purchase tickets every year. We recommend purchasing tickets as soon as you receive the email for best seat selection. Remember, if you want early access to purchase tickets, join or renew at Storyteller level ($300+) or above.

Please plan ahead. If you’re traveling or otherwise unavailable to purchase tickets during the renewal window, you can have friends, family, or fellow member purchase series tickets under your account (provided your Cabin membership is active).

Yes, someone else can pick up your tickets and/or books. They’ll just need to let us know that they’re picking them up on your behalf.

Anyone who would like to receive communications about the current Readings & Conversations series can sign up using the form on this page below the ticket timeline section.

Your series tickets include one ticket to each of our five standard R&C series lectures and three books from our featured authors.

We're here to help! Email Joel at joel@TheCabinIdaho.org by 12 PM the day of the lecture.

All Readings & Conversations events will only be held in person because artists and their lectures are proprietary entertainment that becomes diluted with online availability. Currently, authors and their agents are only making accommodations for in-person events to protect the integrity and availability of their artwork.

We suggest you give your tickets to someone you know who would enjoy the event. Or, if they are tickets for an R&C event at The Egyptian Theatre, you can donate them back to The Cabin for resale as part of our Rush Tickets program. You will make a student or last-minute lecture fan very happy! The deadline to donate your tickets is 12 PM the day before the lecture. We do not need your physical tickets back.

Rush Tickets are tickets given back to us from series ticket holders with schedule conflicts. Seats range anywhere from the front row to the back row. They are $20 for Cabin Members and $25 for the general public. They are sold on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 6:30 PM the night of the event in The Egyptian Theatre lobby. Rush Tickets are not available for events at The Morrison Center.

If you wish to donate your tickets, contact Joel Wayne by 12 PM the day before the lecture at (208) 331-8000. We do not need your physical tickets back. 

Doors open one hour before the event start time.

We're here to help! You can reach us at 208-331-8000 or by email at info@thecabinidaho.org.
