my CC was declined for some wrong info on it. Can I have someone call me to correct or do I need to start over? Sandy Betlach.
Please resubmit your order using the corrected information. We do not have records of orders that were not completed due to a declined credit card. Thank you.
This is for order number 12554452 under Kay Jernigan for the morning walk. This is going to interfere with another excursion.. Is it possible to exchange paying the 10.00 difference to the Festival of houses and gardens. How do I book it for April 6th on Wednesday after 11:30? do you have to give me an exchange via this page and request?
To request an exchange, please call the ticket office at 843.722.3405. Exchanges may be done with an exchange fee of $10 per ticket and based on availability of alternate choice.
Thank you.

I have receipt of my payment but no paper work to get my ticket. Payment was made on 2-22-22. Email is [email protected]. Phone is 7046504588
