    So, pure curiosity, how many breweries/beers are you hoping to have in 2015?

    We're aiming for ~75 brewers. Look for an initial list this week: http://www.beeradvocate.com/ebf/beer/

    Any idea when volunteering will open up for this festival?

    Not date yet, but we're months away from doing a call for volunteers.

    I apparently completely missed the tabs that showed the info. Thanks for that.

    Same number of tickets and room size as last year?

    Yes. 2,250 tickets per session ... as per the info page.

    Thanks. Thought it was 2,000 even last year. Was the perfect size and space last year. Any plans on changing the queue? That walk around the entire building was odd.

    Nope. It was 2,250. And we're constantly evaluating the entry line, however, we have quite a few limitations to deal with. While it might be "odd," it meets the limitations placed on the event and keeps the flow and line in order; like keeping 2,250 off the streets and blocking other businesses.

    How fast did the tickets sell out last year?

    Is there any direct link to the website/event that are selling the tickets. I've tried searching every combination I can think of on Eventbrite without any hits for Extreme Beer Fest.

    See the link in the first post and video? There you go. And tickets aren't on sale yet, but when they are you'll see them.

    At the smaller venue in 2013, we sold roughly 2,250 tickets (all 3 sessions) in 2 mins. Last year at the larger venue, it took a while to sell 6,750 tickets. We still had tickets on sale the month of the fest.

    That said, we anticipate this round of tickets to move much quicker.

    Will payment options include PayPal?

    No. We don't use PayPal for fest tickets.

    Can you buy tickets via the BA App?

    Nope. We use Eventbrite, and have no plans on integrating ticket buying into the app. Ticket options will appear on the EBF home page this Sat @ noon.
