First off, if you're having difficulty, thanks for your patience trying to buy tickets online. Historic Hudson Valley is using the same software as last year (and this year for Kykuit tickets) and yes, it can seem a little confusing the first time you go through it. But it's not that tough once you get the hang of it. Here's a step-by-step primer:

1. Click on the "shop" link , which brings you to the ticket buying page, where you can buy tickets for Blaze, Legend Evenings, and Kykuit tours.

2. IF YOU ARE A MEMBER...click on the "Member login" button and (you guessed it) log in. This allows you to book Members tickets, which is a good thing because they are free. Remember, Members this year need reservations. The number of Member tickets you can buy depends on what kind of membership you hold. You can, of course, buy member and non-member tickets. Once you've logged in, the "Member login" button will change to "Logged in as Member [number]"

2a. IF YOU ARE NOT A MEMBER...ignore what I just said.

3. Next, scroll down the page and you'll see "Step 1." (There's another reminder there that if you're a member, you should log in.)

4. Click on the date that appears there, which will be today's date. Once you've done that, a calendar will appear on the right hand side of the page, allowing you to change the date.

5. Select the date on the calendar you want to come to Blaze or Legend.

6. Assuming you've selected a date when Blaze and/or Legend is taking place, you will now see those events as an option under "Step 2."

7. Click on the event you want under "Step 2."

8. Now, you'll see the various time slots that are available for that evening, and how many tickets are left.

9. Click on the time slot you want and follow the instructions from there.

It should be a piece of cake from that point on. The tricky part is dealing with the calendar. Any other questions? Post 'em here and we'll get 'em answered.
