    It gets better every year and is always a good time. I sprung for VIP as well.

    Really looking forward to this one as I didn't make it down last year because I was able to score tickets to the Great Taste of the Midwest. Awesome that Surly and Revolution are there, among many, many others.

    In the past, has all the rarest stuff been gone by the time General Admission can enter?

    @fds If you end up looking for tickets and decide you want VIP. I have two I am looking to part with. I saw they made VIP an extra half hour this year and VIP will have it's own bathroom too. I believe there are only 300 VIP and then 3700 GA :-0

    I could be wrong but I got the sense they actually held back some Huna and Darkness for GA. IIRC, they stopped pouring them at some point during VIP. I believe they went fast with the GA horde.

    Yeah, my impression last year was that Huna was available for most of VIP, with a bit held back for GA, but went within 15-30 of GA starting. '12 Darkness, on the other hand, was available for the first hour or two of GA somehow.

    Jason I'm definitely interested in VIP but most of my friends have GA already so I'll let you know. If you find someone else who wants them, sell them.
