If you purchase a ticket, yes you will. And I highly recommend doing so.

Is there a site that I go to so I can buy a ticket?

I would just go if I were you. I went last year for the 1st time and was by myself. I didn't know anyone but ended up at a house party in the hills with many stars. Everyone was friendlier than expected. You'll enjoy it for sure.

I know what party you speak of, and I regret not going. After snapping pictures all night (and being awake almost 13 hours that Sunday) I was just TIRED. If it happens again next year, I'll be there.

I'm really jealous!!! I've attended T-Awards from 2011-14 and I never get invited to any house parties with stars (except for the after-parties the night after). Thing is I always go alone and I tend to feel awkward going to the T-Awards where I only "know" TSs by seeing them on this site and on DVDs but don't know them personally. Socializing in places where I don't know anybody has always been a little awkward for me. Sometimes I run into TSs who are not always open to chatting with their fans.
Plus I wish I could be allowed to bring my Canon DSLR camera with me as I'm not satisfied using a smartphone camera. Smartphone cameras are great when you're out and unexpectedly come across someone or something that is picture-worthy but smartphone cameras really suck at taking quality pictures when you're at events like the T-Awards. I would very much prefer to use my Canon DSLR camera if only I am allowed to do so. A year ago I was at an event sponsored by KLOS radio in L.A. and I brought my DSLR camera in the hopes I could take pictures with it but was told I needed to leave it in the car and could only use my smartphone which sucked.
Even though I don't work for any press agency, I would appreciate it very much if I could bring my DSLR camera with me to the 2016 awards with a promise I would only share them on this site and no where else. I'm a camera snob and only like to take pro pictures.

Although I appreciate that you'd like to bring your better camera, we feel this would undermine both the feel of the event, the privacy of some guests and issues with not knowing who official photographers are. We have very limited media passes and these are given to photographers whom we either know, or who work for named industry publications.
The event is to be viewed, enjoyed and participated in. It's not meant to be a fashion show, zoo or gawkers exhibition and having unlimited pro-cameras would push it in that direction.
If you want to drop us a line at admin@grooby.com with some samples of your photography, we may be able to see if something can be worked out.
As far as 'after parties', there are a few industry or private parties going on but these are either not part of the show or ran by private individuals. Last year, both Buddy Wood's Pool Party and the a private after-party seemed to get a bit out of hand, by people turning up uninvited or tag-alongs and there may be stronger restrictions this year. I know that Buddy's is a party for models, industry, sponsors and guests and we'll certainly be limiting the amount of people who aren't part of that circle, as space is limited and last year there were too many for safety and costs.

I also recommend not bringing a good camera. Couple of years ago I brought mine and lost it at the after party.

I checked out theteashow.com site but there no place on the site that says how to purchase a ticket. Do I have to buy it thru grooby or something? I didn't see any details about it. Maybe its too early to get a ticket. or maybe I have to sign up on the grooby site. Anyone know how they purchased a ticket last year?

Relax, man. The show is still six months away, and all the details probably haven't been settled yet. When tickets go on sale, Steven will be sure to announce it in the forum as he always does.

As Max stated, it's too early. We'll probably do a discount early bird in Oct.

I went to a private one the night of the official after party and not the awards show. I was chatting with a girl and she asked if I was going. I said I didn't know anything about it and she said well....your coming with me then. :) I got lucky I guess.

No you lost it because you put your trust in the wrong people. Plus we made sure a girl got into a safer environment after passing out at the venue.

I do find the night before awards party to be quite invigorating. Closer to the date I will let you know if we are doing an afterparty of our own

No, not yet. We moved the show back a couple of weeks so everything else has been knocked back a bit also. It will be this month - don't worry, you won't miss the amount of promotion we do when it goes live :-)
