Join the EE Crew!

We have tried to answer everything across the pages in the Crew menu, so take a look there first! If something is still unclear, we are happy to help through our Contact page.

The Crew is the heartbeat of our events!
Work a shift, shop early! The more Crew shifts you do, the earlier you shop! Experience fellowship, new friends, and FIRST PICK of all the greatest bargains - before Consignors and before the public. Shifts are typically 5 hours.
Note: 2 longer super shifts [S] count as 3 regular shifts.

Who can shop with the Crew?

  • Your spouse, parents, parents-in-law, and children get in on your one pass - or bring one friend instead if you are not bringing family.
  • Crew do not get the one-friend option on EE full-price days; that is for Consignors and Ticket holders only.
  • On Discount Day, everyone - Crew included - can bring one friend if not bringing family.
  • Additional friends or relatives (siblings, aunts, uncles, and so on) can join as Crew or Consignors to earn their own early shopping, or get their own ticket.
  • Children 3 and under must be in a stroller, wagon, or babyworn.
