Taste of Edmonton returns to the Alberta Legislature’s Capital Plaza, and for the first time ever, you don’t have to buy card pages to fix your food.

Mobile tickets are available through the Crowdblink Patron app, which is available for both Apple and Android phones.

“We listened to our attendees and most found the lines were too long,” said Paul Lucas, general manager of Events Edmonton, in a statement.

“To mitigate this, we are switching to mobile tickets and working with Crowdblink so that participants can buy tickets via the app.”

Events Edmonton said each booth will be equipped with scanners that people can use to redeem their digital tickets.

Physical tickets will continue to be available, and those who purchase tickets before July 17 will receive $ 10 off for every 40 tickets purchased.

To open the festival to dietary restrictions, this year’s offering includes vegan and celiac options.

The full list of vendors for the 2019 festival is expected to be released in June, Events Edmonton said.
