How much does it cost to attend Physics Day as a sponsor or a judge?

Entry passes can be picked up at the registration table outside of Lagoon's Front Entrance Gates. Lunch passes and t-shirts can be picked up from Kristen Burns in the Davis Pavilion. Additional family members not helping with events can purchase a discount ticket at the Main Gate the day of the event.
