I registered for tickets to the Tutankhamun exhibit in Philidelphia months ago, and just today recieved an email saying my window of time to buy tickets expires today at 5:00 PM! Does this mean I can no longer use that code to buy tickets? What happens? I dont even know the date i would be able to go down there. Does anyone know what I should do?

I hope you can, too, Smenkare. I know how much I've enjoyed having the exhibit at the Field Museum here in Chicago. We have it till January 1 and most of us will be ready to see it move on (it's been here since May), but we'll miss it.
