The Bon Appetit Presents Chicago Gourmet is months away (the ninth annual version will run Sept. 24-25 in Millennium Park), but the time to buy tickets is now. 10 a.m., to be precise.
At 10 a.m. Thursday, discounted one- and two-day passes will be sold at about a 20 percent discount. One-day passes, regularly $185, will be available for $148; two-day passes, regularly $295, will be $250.
The number of discount tickets is limited; once the discount tickets are gone, sales will continue for full-priced tickets.
Admission to Chicago Gourmet’s ancillary events, such as the Sept. 23 Hamburger Hop, will go on sale at a later date.
