- All other ticketed events (Mother's Day, Joe Avati, Purple Foot Festival, Ice Wine Festival, comedy dinners, themed dinners) — online sales close at 11:00 PM ET the night before, so the team can pull a registration list in the morning.
- Once the online cutoff passes, the event listing stays on the site but the checkout button is replaced with a "call (585) 223-4210" message. Phone inquiries are welcome up through the event itself.
- The day after the event ends, the listing is removed from the site automatically.
