Tickets
Tickets to the St. Paul Santa Crawl are $20. They can be purchased online here.
Once you purchase your ticket, print it out. If you don't have a printer, you can opt to have it mailed to you.
Beginning December 1, bring that printed ticket into any participating Ragstock location (Uptown, Roseville, Mall of America) or Twin Cities Magic & Costume and exchange it for a wristband. You can pick up as many wristbands as you want, as long as you have a printed ticket for each wristband.
If you purchase your ticket online but don't pick it up at Ragstock or Twin Cities Magic & Costume beforehand, you can pick it up at Will-Call on the day of the crawl. Will-Call is at Amsterdam Bar & Hall.
Wristbands can also be purchased the day of the crawl at any participating bar. But if you pick them up early, you'll get them quicker AND you'll get a 10-20 percent discount on your Santa purchase. So get 'em early!
You must have a wristband to attend the St. Paul Santa Crawl.
FAQ
What's a Santa crawl?
It's a pub crawl where everyone dresses like Santa Claus.
Do I have to dress like Santa? Can I dress like a reindeer or a ginger bread man instead?
As long as it's in the spirit of the holiday, you can wear whatever you want! Just make sure the naughty bits are nice and covered.
How do we get from bar to bar?
You walk. Or, if it's too far, you hop aboard one of Santa's merry sleighs,* which will be running in a circuit to all of the bars all night long.
*Sleighs look suspiciously like party buses.
Do we have to have a wristband to participate?
Yes! Wristbands get you into the bars, special drink pricing, and transportation between the bars. You must have one to participate in the St. Paul Santa Crawl. Buy one now!
And this is a charity pub crawl, right?
Yes! Proceeds from the wristbands go to Toys for Tots, giving needy kids the joy of an awesome holiday that every kid should have.
ALSO: Bring a toy to donate to the crawl, and you'll get an extra special Christmas present!
How do I get my wristband?
You purchase it online here. Then you print a ticket. Then, starting December 1, you bring that printed ticket to any participating Ragstock location (Uptown, Roseville, Mall of America) or Twin Cities Magic and Costume in St. Paul and exchange it for your wristband. While you're there, you'll get additional discounts on your Santa costume purchases!
Wristbands can also be purchased at the crawl at any participating bar.
Where should I get my Santa costume?
Ragstock or Twin Cities Magic and Costume. Get your wristbands there too!
Can I buy wristbands for my friends too?
Yes. You can also pick up their wristbands for them, as long as you have a printed ticket for every wristband you're picking up.
I don't have a printer.
You can have your ticket mailed to you instead. Mailing will happen two weeks prior to the St. Paul Santa Crawl.
I bought my ticket online but didn't pick it up, and now it's the day of the crawl. Where can I get my wristband?
Pick it up at the Will-Call table at Amsterdam Bar & Hall.
Do I have to be 21 to participate?
Yes. No exceptions. Bah humbug.
I want to wear an ugly sweater instead.
Cool. Ragstock has a metric butt-load of those.
Will there be live reindeer at the St. Paul Santa Crawl?
Duh.
What about caroling? Can we do that?
Of course! We're calling it "Carol-oke."
I have more questions that you haven't predicted I would ask.
Great. Email us at info@stpaulsantacrawl.com.
This is going to be so much fun!
Yeah, we know!
