For a limited time, lords and ladies will have the chance to purchase a limited number of 100,000 admission tickets for $11.95, saving over 65 percent off the regular price, according to a press release from Texas Renaissance Festival.

The Sale of the Century commences at 8 a.m. on Saturday, May 19, and ends at 10 p.m. or after the 100,000th ticket is sold.

“Our festival grows by leaps and bounds year over year, as more people come to discover the magic of the Festival and are transported to the 16^th century,” says Texas Renaissance Festival General Manager Terre Albert. “The Sale of the Century is our way of rewarding our loyal fan base, while also extending that magic to those who have yet to experience the wonder of the Festival.”

Located one hour north of Houston, the celebration will take place on Saturdays and Sundays, Sept. 29 – Nov. 25, including Friday, Nov. 23, on the 55-acre festival grounds in Todd Mission, Texas.
