Dark Lord 2012

I still don't have mine either. I emailed MT on Friday and they told me to call their "Ticket Support Team" on Wednesday if the tix still haven't arrived. I also just emailed FFF now and am waiting for a response

 

This is my first DLD so will a winning ticket say "You win a BA Darklord/BA Behemoth etc." Or does it just say winner and you choose whatever is there to be chose from?

 

Once you get in line to claim your DL allotment, you trade your ticket for the 'real' ticket, which contains the scratch off box. Last year you didn't receive that ticket until you were inside the facility, and about 20 people away from buying your allotment.

 

I'm relatively new here and haven't posted much but, as it turns out, I'm not going to be able to use my Group A ticket next weekend. I happy to give it to someone who intends to go to DLD but hasn't found a ticket. Send me a BM and perhaps we could work out a trade for a couple of beers or something. I'm not trying to make any money on the ticket; I just want it to find a good home.

 

that is very generous of you. I have a ticket but I would really like to take my father. My offer: 2 bells hopslam, 2 surly furious and 2 troeg nugget nectar. Thanks

 

On the issue of water, what works for me is bringing a camelback (water Bladder) for my back pack which will hold 3L of H20 along with 6 beers and is a bit more insulated to keep my brews cooler. It was a lifesaver last year. The only thing that will get you through the day is lots o' water.

 

I emailed them Music today on saturday. I figured I'd call on Monday to see what the hold up was. Living in an apt complex makes me nervous especially when I get other peoples mail quite often... that would be the worst reason to not get the tickets...

 

That's exactly what I'm bringing. They just don't want stuff that clutters the ground & takes up space and anything people might trip over. As long as you can carry it on your person (over the shoulder qualifies) you're fine.

 

Yeah that would be awful. Has anyone not gotten theirs in the mail in years past? What does FFF do if that happens?

 

Not sure... this is my first. I do remember reading a post where someone did not get theirs and he called MT. They ended up voiding his old tickets (not sure how) and have some on hold at the gate for him. I remember he ended up getting the originals some time later in the mail after DLD had past. I believe they are willing to help us out if something has goofed up.

 

thats what i was hoping. What ive learned from this is to spend the extra couple bucks to have it delivered to my house with a tracking #

 

Holly crap... I asked my fiancee (the one that was able to get the tickets...) if she got a tracking number. She checked her email with the ticket order and not the recipt and it has a tracking number. She never checked it. My tickets are in Champaing IL which is about 40 mins away so I should get them tomorrow. It showed that they sat in AZ from april 10th to the 20th. They were shipped out this friday. I have no idea why they sat in AZ for 10 days and did not move. Glad you said something about a tracking number.... Pumped but feel a little dumb for never checking.

 

Haha glad i could help i just have a purchase order # at the moment but i expect things to still work out

 

Looking for a ticket for a friend, willing to do a "mule" situation so you'd wind up with a couple bottles of Dark Lord as compensation for the ticket you aren't able to use. Send me a message if this is of interest to you.

 

Someone posted about how last year they did not receive their tickets as they were lost in the mail. Via communicating with the brewery and ticket agency FFF canceled the tickets and had new ones printed and reserved at the entrance on DLD for him.

 

i feel much better now, thank you for your help

 

I'll be getting to FFF at about 9. I'll be bringing some nice beers to share with ya'll!

 

Just checked the weather for next weekend. Looks kinda cold but clear right now. High only in the 40s on Friday and high 50s for Saturday. http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/USIN0453

 

That could change very fast. A few days ago it was supposed to be sunny, and in the 70's. Damn cold front.

 

On the bright side weather wise, the colder it is, the easier it is to keep your beer relatively cold in your backpack/cooler!
