<p>We are planning on going to State College on 2/19 and staying overnight for the Admitted Students session on 2/20. 2/19 is THON's last day. Can anyone give us info as to where we should go on 2/19 to experience part of THON and when does it end?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>[Home</a> | THON.org - Conquering Childhood Cancer](<a href=“http://www.thon.org%5DHome”>http://www.thon.org) for any and all info. You have your hotel reservation, right? </p>
<p>Thon is held at the BJC and ends with the announcement of the fundraising total around 4pm Sunday. Expect a record-setting amount 
in honor of JoePa</p>
<p>We are going to the admitted student session on 2/17. Can anyone go to THON or do you have to be a student? We would love to experience THON also. Do we have have to buy tickets ? Did not see anything regarding admission to the event from the link .</p>
<p>Anyone can come and watch from the upper levels, but only Thon families and Thon dancers/staff can be on the floor itself and some of the lower level. There aren’t tickets you pay for, but sometimes there is a limit to how many visitors are allowed in at a time. Your tour people will know what’s up. There is also a live feed run from the Thon site, so you could see what is going on that way, as well.</p>
<p>We are visiting our daughter this weekend for THON and I am told that you don’t need tickets, however, on Sunday the doors to BJC will be locked at 8:30am until 4pm. If you want to see the last day you will need to get in before 8:30am.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for the advice. I hope our tour guide will take us to THON!! Really excited to see the campus- it’s our first visit . :)</p>
<p>It’s a beautiful campus – but the weather here is miserable right now so don’t be thinking it always is wet, cold, and grimy (from snowplow grit). Dress warmly!</p>
<p>Coming up from Florida but we are prepared!!! :). Originally from the northeast (NJ) so we have experience with the winter blues!</p>
<p>'Thon in a nutshell, sort of–

<p>doors will be closed all day tomorrow? I guess its not worth it for us to try to get up there before 4pm.</p>
<p>I know that’s the post^^up there, but I’ve never heard of such a thing. I would research Sunday’s hours before giving up on trying to get there…</p>
<p>Our experience on Sunday with Thon is that they will close the doors when the BJC is full. It can happen fairly early in the morning.</p>
<p>We have been here all weekend and have been in and out of Bryce Jordan center at various times. We actually had to wait on line tonight around 9 for 15 minutes to wait for people to leave before we could go in. We were told by many people there, including security, that we should be there between 8 and 9am on Sunday because the doors will close as soon as its filled- and the lines are crazy. It’s been a great experience.</p>
