    Neither, this is a terrible event. You should probably just delete this as nobody will be interested.

    Seriously guys, FOBAB sucks. I would highly suggest going to the Founder's anniversary and hoarding bottles of that. See you in Grand Rapids, not Chicago!

    Was there a ticket limit on sales last year? I didn't see it specified anywhere.

    What can I say, I like to share!

    Also to be fair, I imagined something more like a 10/11am release, and the tickets flying out the window in a Dark Lord fashion. Even with all of BA on notice now, we should all be able to get tickets easily if you are diligent enough to wake up for the sale.

    So you've never bought FoBAB tickets before, eh?

    Because in the past they lasted more than a day? Things have changed, even in just the past year. Maybe not sold out in seconds changed, but if you expect to get tickets on Sunday I would not hold my breath.

    This is purely speculative though. It did surprise me how quickly Upland Sours sold out this year and now I don't take any sales for granted.

    Sorry wasn't aware sharing information about beer was a crime. Didn't realize a few people had intellectual property rights in what beer is where, when festival tickets went on sale and exclusive rights to drink beer. If that's the case, can I buy your exclusive ebook on how I can have beer?

    First time trying to go to FoBab this year....if i open that site at 5:01 will i get tickets? Or is it just luck of the draw? I would hate to not get tickets then have to trade for them

    I've heard theyre non transferable. So is trading for tickets going to be out of the question?

    Actually, i remember reading that. Im guessing that they cannot be traded.

    Good luck to everyone trying to get tickets on Saturday.

    In honor of the on-sale at 5:01 AM on Saturday, I will be hosting a FREE High-Gravity-Ale-All-You-Can-Drink party (for BAs only) that will run until around 3 AM Saturday morning.

    If you plan on trying to get tickets to FoBAB Saturday morning, I HIGHLY suggest attending this party, and staying until the very end. :slight_smile:

    By high gravity do you mean 120 minute or Steel Reserve?

    That attitude right there is exactly what's wrong with it. Been to the last 3 years and not once have I gotten a ticket within a month of tickets going on sale. I could leisurely buy a ticket to either session whenever I wanted. People drumming up hysteria over these types of events is just becoming a pain in the fucking ass.
