    Seems like they are responding to a lot of questions coming their way about how the whole ticket process works and added a lot more descriptive information about the process the day of the festival. Updated information from http://darklordday.com/golden-tickets/:

    A ticket is required to attend the festival and it is the only way to ensure that you get the opportunity to purchase Dark Lord Imperial Stout. Changes have to be made to ensure the longevity of the festival, safety and shorter lines. Without the ticket, there will be no admission to the premises. The name of the person to whom the tickets are being shipped will be printed on the ticket. When you arrive at the festival you will be required to present your ID. Security will confirm that the purchaser name and ID match as the reselling of these tickets is prohibited. No admission will be granted without the original purchaser being present to validate their ticket with their valid state or federal ID or valid passport. Then they may enter the event with his/her guest. The name of the person whom the tickets are being sent to will be the name that is printed on the ticket.

    One person is admitted per ticket. One allotment per person. One Golden ticket per Music Today ticket holder. The “guest” reference denotes the fact that tickets (if 2 are ordered) will both be printed with the name associated with the shipping address. Therefore, the person with their name printed on the ticket(s) will need to be present to validate both tickets then they and their ‘guest’ will be admitted.

    This is NOT a 2 for 1 scenario.

    I got in line before 5 once everyone started lining up for c. Then we were standing in line for 2 hours not moving an inch. A huge group of people had started to cut in at the front. Luckily all the people around me, including myself, won BA dark lord. In the end it was all worth it.

    They also changed everything to say "central time" and dropped the "standard" altogether.

    Looks like someone hired a copy editor.

    I posted this in the other thread. Originally, that link had the DLD lineup listed as: High on Fire, Pig Destroyer, Municipal Waste, Lair of the Minotaur. Then it got edited to "Surprise Guests".

    I'm pretty impressed this thread is working on 5 pages after less than a day and a half.

    What were the odds of winning the golden ticket, anyway? None of my friends did.

    Last year, all 4 of us in my group won. So did the 3 people in front of us.

    This is a weird question, but last year I got hosed by broken images on the Music Today site. When I tried refreshing at the right time last year, everything reloaded but I couldn't tell which link was the "Buy your ticket" link because of broken images. Does anyone remember whereabouts on the page that link pops up in case I get broken images again this year?

    It's not that it's a weird question... It would just be odd if anyone remembered that sort of information.

    Shift + F5, pulls a fresh page, not from cache :wink: Chrome is still the fastest browser, unless you are using Win 8, then its firefox by a hair.

    If asking the question pays off, I'm good to go. If it doesn't, I'm in the same position I was without asking it. I agree it would be odd, but not impossible.

    That's not an entirely terrible idea.

    i thought that command worked on everything but chrome. i remember in the past using it for woot offs and it wasn't so successful.

    I have a Win 8 machine for work and immediately installed chrome. works fast. didn't think to try firefox.

    when i went to dark lord last year, i had fun. i was part of the group C line but didn't see the BROS. i saw people pissing on the side though. i also won twice, scratch-offs, because my mul girlfriend came with me.
