While Barbra Streisand’s keynote on the Tuesday night of BEA will be a free event, open to all those registered for the trade show, tickets will be doled out on a first come, first served basis. BookExpo announced today that tickets to Streisand’s keynote, set for Tuesday May 25, can be picked up at the Opening Night Keynote Ticket Counter, located next to the Autographing Counter in the main registration area. The Keynote Ticket Counter will be open on Monday, May 24, from 1 pm to 5 pm and then again on Tuesday from 7 am to 5 pm. The Ticket Counter will, however, close once all available tickets have been given away. Only one ticket is available per person, and your BEA badge should be obtained before you try and get your ticket.

Ticket holders may then line up in Exhibit Hall B no earlier than noon on Tuesday; doors to the event will open at 4 pm. Ticket holders must be seated by 5:45 pm, or they will lose their seat.
