The one in San Jose just ended and I’m DYING to know where the next one will be. I’m still a bit new to the whole Le Creuset community so if anyone knows details on this and how often it happens, please let me know! Is it once a year? I’m hoping it happens maybe once a quarter.
I REALLY wish it would come to Jersey of New York or just somewhere close to the Tristate area 😭 someone let me know!
Do the factory to table sale locations always change? I live in the Midwest and first learned about them last year when it was too late to go to the Minneapolis one. Was hoping there would be another one there this year but looks like only in Miami? Any info appreciated! Thanks

i reallllly want to go to a factory to table event. a few questions — biggest one, i haven’t been notified😢 i live in PA and totally would have gone to the Wash/Dulles one. How do you get notified? second - does anyone know how many tickets you can purchase at once? specifically VIP w/ mystery box? i know a few people who want to go!
Thanks all!
How and when are the factory to table sale locations announced? Is there an email list to sign up for? Thanks so much!
Hi! My mom has been really into Le Creuset recently and I thought it would be a good gift for Christmas. I can't afford most of what's on the website, but just learned about the Factory to Table sale. I don't live too far from Philadelphia and was wondering how feasible it would be to get last-minute tickets to the sale next weekend. Also curious how they decide on locations - if I can't make it to this sale, how often do they take place, and are there certain cities they always go back to? Would appreciate any tips/tricks, TYIA!! :)
If you're open to Friday, some tickets are available in the afternoon: https://lecreuset.ticketspice.com/ftteventphiladelphia
No mystery box, but you can still get some deals on other pieces.
You can also try the FTT Philly FB group. Post what you're looking for and turn on post notifications. Beware of scammers. Thursday will be hard to catch, but I've seen people posting tickets for other days and times. I also saw a couple of people looking for box beards to fill in for family members who can't attend lol. You won't get the mystery box that way, but at least you can get into the sale.
FTT aside, I also agree with checking out the outlets. Alot of the FTT inventory comes from outlets anyway, and sometimes, you can find a super good deal, especially if you join their mailing lists. The one in Pittsburgh sadly closed recently, but I placed an order by phone with them to get several stuff on my wishlist for pretty much the same price as what I would have paid at the sale.
The LC Facebook page also posts events sometimes for outlets. Even if you can't go, give them a call. If they aren't too busy, they will help you shop remotely and ship things to you.
Finally, keep your eyes peeled for discounts at other retailers.
QVC regularly does decent discounts. I got my 4.5 qt oval dutch oven from them for like $170.
Amazon recently did some great discounts for their random Prime Day sale - I got soleil and palm griddle pans for only $80 each. They also had the signature roaster for like $199.
Black Friday is coming, so I'm sure LC and authorized resellers will have sales to rival FTT, with the benefit of having more selection from signature pieces.
Be watchful and patient; patience saves pockets.
Also, I don't think anyone knows how they pick locations, really. I think Texas, California and....I want to say North Carolina but someone can fact check me on that, have been the only states to be blessed more than once.
This is the first time they've done it in the northeast, and I literally screamed to see that they decided to grace Philly, of all places. Bless up.
The FTT sale appears to be sold out but you can still visit outlet stores and get good prices. Enameled cast iron is regularly about 35% off, with stoneware regularly 35-50% off.
The first FTT was announced in San antonio. I’m considering going but have never been before. Are the discounts and choice selection worth it?
I’m heading to the Philly FTT sale and am so excited! But I do have some questions for those of you have gone in the past…
-
What are your tips for the event overall? From shopping in a certain order to arriving early? I luckily got VIP day, will it be packed?
-
What items shouldn’t I skip over and what tables or bins are good to skip?
-
Do they have collections like Harry Potter available at these sales?
-
Any other tips or tricks? Thankful for any advice!
And when do tickets go on sale? I’ve never had a LC piece before, and I figure that would be the easiest way for me to get in. And then shop some deals while I’m there.
I heard tickets sell out within hours, so I’m curious when I should be on the lookout.

Anyone have experience going to the factory to table sales? How busy is it? How many registers and staff are there? I know the rules say that you can only get one mystery box per event, but is it possible to buy two VIP tickets to two different sessions to get two mystery boxes? I am trying to get one for a friend who can’t attend and wanted to know if they had a way of checking or something or if there are enough people there that they wouldn’t notice.
buy 1 ticket and get 1 mystery box buy another ticket for next session and get a 2nd mystery box buy a third ticket for different session and get a 3rd mystery box
yes this is beating the system and turns the mystery box from $50 to $50 plus entrance.
remember the mystery box is heavy and you will need to haul it back to the car and get back in line for the timed session and do it all again
if you can bring a additional person just to get the 2nd box
They specifically say on the faqs one per person not one per session. I have no idea how they keep track of that though.
San Francisco's Eater features Le Creuset Factory to Table Sale!
https://sf.eater.com/2025/4/18/24411289/le-creuset-mystery-box-factory-to-table-ftt-sale-san-jose-le-creuchella
Coming next month to Hartford!
Went to the outlet and no one has any information. Anyone know what months to expect it?
According to the Minneapolis convention center's website, it's Sept. 21-24th
It hasn't been formally announced, but someone did some sleuthing on a Minneapolis events page and determined it was going to be Sep 21-23. I don't see anything on the Minneapolis Convention Center webpage, but there is a "gap" in events during that time... I'm soft blocking my calendar for those dates because it'll finally be one within a reasonable driving distance.
My mother got me a Dutch oven for my birthday in March and I became hooked. I wanted more pieces but they were so expensive. Then I learned about the factory to table sale at my local outlet. I went and oh my lord. It was amazing luck wise.
Now I have: A big Dutch oven A little dutch oven A big stew pot A little stew pot (which I plan to use for noodles and the like) 3 sizes of skillets (only one le cruset but nice brands) 1 small pot for sauces (not one creuset) And a braiser
I used to have an analon set and I’m never going back. I never have to replace my cookware again and got it for the same price or less. 😂 everything has a lifetime warranty too. 😂
I wanted a bigger saucepan as well but ran out of budget. Either way I’m so excited to start cooking again! What do you recommend making in the braiser?
Just discovering how versatile the braiser is. I was lazy tonight. Picked my first ever harvest of green beans from the garden. Did mashed potato & boneless ham slices. First I pan fried the ham slices with olive oil. Removed those then added water. Boiled cut potatoes in the now brown water from the ham, added some salt. After those cooked, threw in the green beans for about five minutes. Removed those then added the ham slices to warm it up. So easy & soooo good! All in one pan, different stages.
Remember to start your pans with low heat on top of stove; after gently washing your pans, wipe dry with a clean towel after to prevent rust on the exposed metal; invest in the le creuset cleaner; it's worth it to have on hand just in case.
Enjoy your pieces as much as we all do. Congratulations 🎊
I went to the outlet for the first time today too, I added it up and I saved around $140 off the discounted website prices! Pretty happy with that!
I just learned about the FTT sales after the last one in the fall of 2024. I am anxiously awaiting the announcement of 2025 and trying to plan properly. My husband and I bought a new house and are moving in March, so we would like to finally get "adult" dishes. I am waiting for the FTT sale, but I am curious about the typical pricing of plates, bowls, etc., for budgeting purposes as well as gauging if I should wait until I see a deal at the outlets.
Any info if appreciated!! Thanks!
