SAKE DAY 2026 – ALERT! WARNING! Tickets Go On Sale June 1st

Last year, many True Sake Newsletter readers and SAKE DAY veterans stated that they didn’t get a chance to purchase tickets because they sold out in record time. Not kidding, the Early Bird tickets went in a matter of minutes, and two weeks for the rest of the tickets. We aren’t Outside Lands, but we are close. This really bummed us out, especially Mei! It stinks to hear all year long from everybody who didn’t get in. We have zero control as the tickets are sold on Eventbrite, and of course all ticket proceeds (100%) go directly to the Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California. They are in charge of ticket sales!

So! Mei and I really want to warn you – alert you – scare you to be in position at the exact moment when the tickets drop, because we want you, our very awesome Newsletter subscribers, to get first crack at the tickets. Help us help you! 

Tickets go on sale JUNE 1st at 9:00AM PST.

Did you hear that? The Early Bird tickets sold out in 12 minutes last year! If you get one of those, cool. But don’t panic, because you have roughly a week to get the regular priced tickets! Please check out the www.sakeday.com website for pricing. And to be honest, don’t wait a week, because they just might be gone. Be smart, and just buy them early! 

We are toying with our long-standing tradition of not emailing our vast distribution email list a notice (a separate email to our only 12 emails per year list) on Sunday May 31st that states tickets go on sale in the morning. Yes, we are that concerned that we want you to be reminded. And for you out of town folks, and for those who want to attend your first SAKE DAY take note! Do it! But, get your tickets early!
