Apart from the tickets and reception rewards (which go to anyone who pledges $25 and $75, respectively), making the pledge only gets you one of the rewards. However, you can make multiple pledges, and for subsequent ones, reduce your pledge by $25 and note which additional reward you'd like.

The poster is not finished yet, but will most likely be revealed sometime in the next week or two. It will be stylistically similar to (although better quality than) the art on humanistculture.com.

I'm not so sure I followed that. Do you still get tickets as long as you pledge $25 or higher? Or if you want the poster and a ticket do you have to make 2 pledges totaling $65?

Anyone who pledges at least $25 gets a ticket, and one other reward. Anyone who pledges at least $75 gets a reception pass, a ticket, and one other reward. (I realize this is confusing. Kickstarter is unfortunately not set up to make for a really comprehensible marketplace).

That said, I actually just realized that the poster reward wasn't cost effective enough (it was almost exactly charging print value, so while it covered supply costs, it didn't raise any additional funds for the kickstarter itself). So I'm currently marking that one as sold-out, and next week I'll be revealing the poster itself, and a new reward for $50 that is slightly less confusing, explaining that it includes the ticket)
