Also the fine print said no dogs allowed, even on the premises. So keep that in mind and leave dogs at home.

We did a reservation for both of us as I assumed they were limiting due to distancing.

Just checked and was shocked to see they still had openings in our slot. So I added my daughter and chose the "Prefer to not say" (or whatever it actually says along those lines) for age. She's 16. Figured she either gets to go in with me or go in with her own reservation at the same time.

We don't have a bevy of rules in Florida, so I had no idea they would not allow a guest. I just won't attend. I'm not driving 4 hours (both ways) after work by myself.

Thanks, made 2 more reservations for the same time, surprised time slot wasn't full. Might call the dealer when it gets a little closer to the time and verify.

It's a way for them to get potential buyers into their lead system outside of current order owners.

Turns out for those of us who have signed up for the dealership viewing event cannot bring a significant other, family or friend. Would have been helpful to know when signing up so one could have made an additional reservation. Now that they're all filled up I find out anyone we bring has to stand out on the sidewalk and can't come into the dealership. Kinda sucks. And this from one of our reputable dealers here on the site.
Fuck that! I'm bringing my wife, and they sure as hell better let us both in. Who do they think actually makes the final decision in these matters?

Some of it depends on the covid-19 restrictions in the area, and the number of people in the space are set by the government.
So some places you can and some you can't. I can't wait till this is over and we all have Broncos.

Exactly, I made one reservation for my wife and I, slots filled up within 10 minutes as the marketing geniuses only allowed viewing 75 reservations at a dealer with 500 reservations.

Same day I found out that each person requires a reservation, hope the Misses has fun ;)

Sure would have been nice to have made it clear at the time of registration - that each reservations was for one person only, I might have been able to go....

no way they are not letting you and your wife/significant other with you in Florida, Tennessee, Alabama event etc.

In California, sure. But they have gone a little insane over everything so it’s not surprising. Who cares what science and doctors say. Everyone stay home!

My wife and I were both vaccinated back in December (both in healthcare)

this is just getting dumb at this point.

I think it’s a Ford thing, not a dealer specific policy. I emailed to ask from the registration site and it went to a Ford email...not the dealer... and they said we both had to register.

If it’s a ticketed event, one would assume everyone needs a ticket.

Agreed. That really smells of California.

In Michigan, I pre-registered for one event and my g/f did not, they allowed her to register on the spot no problem. In fact, of the three events I went and pre-registered, only one time did it actually save in their system, the other two times they had to register me on the spot.
