Free admission, parking, and lunch! To visit the gardens though, you have to pay the $15 admission fee (for adults); it is open 10:30 am - 4:30 pm.
*** UPDATE ***
I paid a visit to the bazaar, and my, was it hopping! Tons of librarian-types wandering around and collecting information. I learned that the Filipino American Library does bus tours of Historic Filipino Town and that there is a Los Angeles sports museum and archive set up after the 84 Olympic Games in L.A. Interesting.

I left an email to ask but no one has gotten back to me as of yet. It doesn’t seem like you need tickets…

I talked to the Huntington. No tickets for the research bazaar are needed.

Thanks for checking for me. Pity that I spent more time in the Huntington bookstore reading a copy of Orwell’s “Why I Write” and pretty nonsense than at the actual event. Upside to this was the free coffee (only time I’ve ever really drank Starbucks).

E - Why do you write?
Comment by UnHip LA — September 30, 2007 @ 10:39 pm
Because cucumber seed produces cucumbers not tomatoes.
