My husband and I are looking for 2 last minute tickets to the wine festival! Looking to buy 2 weekend passes, but would only need to use them Friday and Saturday. Would love to purchase 2 passes if anyone is planning to go Wednesday/ Thursday but can't go Friday/ Saturday, but open to any and all available passes.
