    I've heard from some people that Munster police won't let you line up until sometime between 6-7. That was second hand info from the person who told me so its 3rd hand now lol just giving you a heads up. I'm looking to get there around 6

    We will be there by 6, and will drive slow drive-by style loops around the industrial park for an hour if they won't let us park and line up. :slight_smile:

    I DON'T think there's a good reason to do this. I just want to start cracking good beer, and am bringing an assload of bacon and good coffee. It will be worth it to me.

    I feel you on that one, I've been looking forward to this weekend for months. How many do they let in at a time? I've heard horror stories of people waiting hours upon hours to get in the gates

    I was first in line at the anniv party got in like at 4;45 no cops showed up till six and I personally talked to him for about a half hour..he said there has been one arrest since dark lord day began.some idiot crashed his car into the Vietnam memorial. He also said they pretty much don't care about anything since no one really get out of control. His exact quote "its a lot different then working a beer garden"...... With that being said I don't seen why lininf up at 6 would be a problem unless there cracking down super hard which I doubt

    So the key is to get there before the cops. Done!! How long were you in line at XV until the next person behind you showed up? 4:45 is MAD early for a 1:00pm start.

    General question: How many DL's can one purchase and what is the cost per bottle? Does one ticket equal one bottle?
    Thanks!

    It's generally 4 per person, $15 each. Though it could change this year.

    So for all you vets...what is the likelyhood that there will be some tickets available from people at the event? have there been scalpers in the past?

    going back to the parking question. when you say "NOT close", just trying to get an idea as to what that means. Like a 10 minute walk? 30 minute walk? I think we are getting there probably around 8:30am or so....appreciate the help!!
