Tickets for Hutchmoot sell out in only a few minutes, so a little legwork in advance on your end can ensure you have the best chance of getting tickets.
First, make sure your account with Universe.com is updated and ready to go. Universe is the ticketing platform for Hutchmoot and Housemoot and you'll have to make an account in order to complete the purchase.
Secondly, make sure you are ready the minute tickets go on sale. (See info on ticket types for sale dates/times.) For each ticket type, half the tickets will be available during the Friday sale and half will be available during the Saturday sale. So, if you miss your chance on the first day, you'll have another chance the next morning.
Lastly, save your credit card information in your browser so that it auto-fills any forms you need to complete before purchase.
As a side note, if you do miss out on Hutchmoot tickets this year, you can always buy a ticket for Housemoot and put together a local gathering of your own.
The Rabbit Room internally manages a waitlist that is used to provide notification when resale tickets become available. For those unable to purchase a ticket during the regular ticket sales period, feel free to fill out the 2026 Hutchmoot Waitlist Form to add your name to the list. All waitlisters will be notified by the Rabbit Room (via Mailchimp) when resale tickets become available; and available tickets can be purchased on a first come, first served basis.
PLEASE NOTE: Waitlist notifications will be sent directly from the Rabbit Room, but Universe remains the exclusive purchasing platform for Hutchmoot tickets. Waitlist notifications will provide an access key and direct you to purchase through the Universe platform. Be aware that messages, links, or purchase offers from any other source are likely a scam. If you have any questions or concerns regarding ticket sales or the waitlist, please email hutchmoot@rabbitroom.com.
While it is our sincerest hope and desire that those who initially purchase Hutchmoot tickets are able to attend the event in October, we do understand that unforeseen circumstances sometimes occur and ticket holders are unable to attend in spite of their best intentions. As in previous years, ticket transfers will be available through the Universe platform for those who personally know someone who can use their ticket. For those who do not, the Rabbit Room is requesting that ticket holders return the ticket via Universe so that it can be distributed to someone on the event waitlist. (Online ticket resale through platforms like Facebook groups will not be approved this year.) Accordingly, the following refund policy will be in place for Hutchmoot 2026 tickets:
Tickets returned 30 days or more before the event (by Sept 7th) will be issued a full refund of the ticket price (less fees) to the original purchaser of the ticket.
Beginning Sept 8th, ticket refunds can still be requested but are not guaranteed. Requests will be reviewed and approved/declined, either in part or in full, on a case-by-case basis.
If you become unable to use your ticket, please return it as soon as possible to provide others with the earliest possible opportunity to claim a ticket and make their travel plans.
*We do not recommend buying the Purchase Protection feature offered by Universe.

Most may be tailored to fit your business needs. Please email sponsorships@rabbitroom.com for more information.
Hutchmoot is a conference designed for adults, yet also appropriate for thoughtful young people. Please note, due to seating limitations, each attendee, including the thoughtful young ones, will need a ticket for the event.
Additionally, all attendees under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult chaperone with their own ticket of the same ticket type (i.e., a youth with a full-conference ticket must be accompanied by an adult with a full-conference ticket).
We do not allow young children and infants to attend. We understand this policy is a disappointment for some families and we are grateful for your understanding.
Please reach out to hutchmoot@rabbitroom.com if you have questions.
