Selection Process & Important Details
There are a limited number of tickets, so likely not everyone who applies will receive one. All applications are treated as confidential. Selection will be based on random lottery for all individuals who apply and meet the criteria.Those selected for a Radical Inclusion ticket receive only 1 ticket. Tickets are offered on a sliding scale ($10 to $230). Carpooling is strongly encouraged, but a parking pass will be available for purchase. Radical Inclusion tickets are non-transferrable, so if you are selected and you no longer need your ticket(s), please notify radicalinclusion@soakpdx.com.
