    I'm looking forward to trying Rez gets smashed. Heard some good things.

    I can't believe they sold out Saturday already, I was going to buy two more tickets for friends, and now I'm SOL.

    Like an asshole, I did not buy a ticket for Saturday even though I'm enthusiast. So, if anyone comes across one.... :wink:

    i have a handful of friends who have asked me in the last week to call, pull strings or see if i can get them tickets for saturday. lol, i love when they think i can miraculously get these. i buy them the second i can because i always know if i can't go i can get rid of them very easily. that being said, i am really pumped for this one. i figure we will see this list next thursday??? lol

    For those of you looking for extras for Saturday:

    I don't know if it's commonplace, but at this year's Summer fest (sold out Saturday session), staff advised folks waiting in line that extra tickets were available. If you don't have any luck getting tickets in advance, might be worthwhile just showing up and asking at the gate.

    Just come and hangout there is usually a few people that got stuck with an extra ticket somehow and they usually sell for face value.

    This is all Stuff that's been on at beer events. Very disappointing, but I always skip bell's and founders anyways

    I'm not saying they're bad beers, at all. I've just seen all these at tap takeovers and regularly on tap at places. For me, these beers fears are about having things I can't get and enjoy as many breweries as I can. I refuse to wait in a line for kbs, cbs, etc and miss out on other beers because I had to wait 30 minutes in line just for a sip of a beer. I'm not saying anyone that does it is an idiot, I just choose to spend my time differently.

    It is probably just a matter of there being extra tickets for whatever reason on the day of. I wouldn't expect anything official.

    What are the odds BB4D lasts beyond the first hour reserved for VIP?
