A: No. The event on Saturday is a separate ticketed event. If you want to attend this event, you can email at ryanw@wnyghosthunters.com for more info.

Q: I want to investigate a tower floor and the trolley lobby, but I already handed out $150 for Friday night. How can I investigate these locations?

A: If you want to come back for the first part of the ghost hunt on Saturday night to go in the tower floor or the trolley lobby, email ryanw@wnyghosthunters.com for a discounted rate. This ticket will only get you in the terminal from 6pm - 10pm and will not include the second half at Iron Island. We are only able to investigate these two locations by keeping the attendance numbers down, that is why Saturday is for only 50 people. Of course, proof of attending the Friday night event is required.

Q: Why is the ticket so expensive?

A: The ticket is $150 because we need to pay for the talent's time for attending the event. We also need to cover their travel, lodging, and food. There are also other expenses like insurance, security, bathrooms, etc. In order to make enough money for a donation to the buildings, the tickets have to be priced accordingly. 100% goes to charity!
