Funk Factory in Madison

Just got full allotment, don't give in yet!

 

So excited for this event! And then CW the next day

 

Anyone know if they are selling glasses again?

 

I think you can buy the stemware from their online store, anytime.

For the upcoming bottle release... does the Will-Call Name on the tickets have to match that of the person picking up bottles? Or does the person picking up bottles only need a copy of the ticket purchaser's ID? I believe in the past that the Will-Call Name on the tickets was only for organizational purposes. Thanks! Looking forward to the releases!

 

They need the Id.

 

The ID needs to match the person who purchased the bottles. Without that, we will not release the bottles.

If you are using a trustee, your trustee must have their ID (to show 21+), and a copy of your ID. You can use a cellphone picture, but paper copy is preferred as it helps move the line along faster.

Again, if your trustee does not have a copy of your ID, we will not release the bottles. As per BPT purchase condition, "Any bottles not picked up by 8:00pm Friday, January 29th 2016 will be surrendered back to the brewery. We will not issue refunds, exchanges, or returns. Do not purchase a ticket unless you are absolutely sure you will be able to pick the bottles up during the stated pick-up window."

 

On a personal note, sorry to be such a stickler, but the reason these releases go so smoothly is because of these rules, and really, it's super simple stuff.

 

These rules are not strict or complicated at all. In fact, you make it pretty easy for people that aren't able to make it to the release still get bottles. Just one easy rule to follow, have your id ready and the id (paper or cell phone) of the person you are proxying for.

 

You'd be surprised

 

Thanks for the responses. I realize now that my original question was unclear. I know trustees need a copy of the ticket purchaser's ID for bottle pick-up. My question was, if the name of trustee given during ticket purchase will be different than the person picking up the bottles will that be a problem? It sounds like it's not a problem. Great!

@FFGeuzeria Yup, you're not being at all unreasonable with the requirements. I've always found the releases to go very smoothly. Cheers!

 

You can change that name on BPT but I think it's too late now.

 

I see. No, that isn't a problem. If you want to email me the update, [email protected], but no need to change it on BPT at this point.

I get 2 names from BPT; Attendee Name and Shipping Name. Shipping Name should be the purchaser's name and associated with the credit card. In theory, Attendee Name should also be the purchaser, and then if you are using a Trustee there is a question you answer at the end to give me a 3rd name. In practice, people put the Trustee's name as the Attendee Name, and maybe that makes more sense? I might drop the "Are you using a trustee" question next time. The database is somewhat of a nightmare to clean up, ha!

 

Tomorrow night is.... tomorrow!

Who's all staying over in Plover? Are we still planning on AmericInn for a later evening bottle share?
