Use of Ticket to Play vouchers

The vouchers can be used for membership and/or registration fees with Approved Activity Providers.

For each voucher presented, the Approved Activity Provider will reduce the participant’s membership fee by up to $100 at the time of registration.

If the full membership fee is less than $100, a voucher can only be used for this amount. For example, if membership costs $80 one voucher will cover the whole amount. The remaining $20 will not be returned to the activity provider or the participant and cannot be used at another activity provider.
