Dark Lord Day 2016

There will be 0 effort to police people using 2 tickets if they're willing to go through the line multiple times. They won't let you use 2 tickets at once, but they cannot event attempt to scan the faces of 6000 people to make sure someone hasn't already gone through. They have never put any further effort to stopping that sort of thing and I wouldn't expect it this year.

IMO, its not worth being salty over. If someone wants to pony up $400 and go through the long lines multiple times, its not worth worrying about.

 

Stop. Just stop.

 

But on last years tickets it said 1 of 2 or 2 of 2. They could just not allow you in unless the other person is with you even if you're the primary ticket holder and not the guest.

 

I'm over here dastardly twirling my mustache, thinking up schemes to stockpile as much BADL as possible. mwahahahahaha

In all seriousness, if someone wants to buy 2 tickets and get 2 allotments, good one 'em. The # of tools doing this has to be minute compared to the number of folks just looking to get their 1 allocation and variant. I like the reduction in cash on hand at the festival and it's got to make things much, much easier to manage for 3Fs.

Let's pray for good weather, plenty of tables, and plenty of great bottles to share.

 

they don't check for those things....if your guest isn't with you then you get in and the staff/volunteers move along to the next person.

 

Very true. They just want to get people in and out as quickly as possible. Especially last year since the weather was miserable.

 

Besides imagine your guests get sick and can't go now the primary holder won't be let in either? That would never work

 

this happened to me last year. i flew solo and met some friends there. one of my friends went through the line with me so i could get my sick friend's beer. evidently diabetes in a bottle is the cure-all for the flu.

 

Sounds like a great idea. The question is, with all the ticket mishaps with DLD in the past, do I trust it to work?

 

Yeah, can't wait for the next controversy.

"I picked best available it screwed me over!"
"My buddy picked Group A and got in but i picked best available and it gave me Group E!"
"I went for Group B and got nothing, then tried Group C and everything was sold out!, I should have done best available"
etc..

 

"It's the most wonderfuuuuul time of the yearrrrrr!"

 

yes there will.

 

Just great, as if the dilemma to go for Session A or a much later one to improve my odds wasn't tough enough already. Now they go and add a Best Available option.

 

I'm guessing Municipal Waste is definitely playing, since they have no other tour dates until June besides an apparent one-off at Reggie's April 29th.

Had a great time last year, hopefully group A again.

Does anyone know of a place in Munster that sells shippers with styrofoam?

 

that's very encouraging!! thanks!

 

Any idea if they are going to sell those bottles of coffee again?

 

I don't think Dark Matter or 3 Floyds has commented on that yet, but I'd assume so (Dark Matter has mentioned that DLD info is live on FFF's site, so I assume they're bringing the usual goods). DM is there every year, and their tent is definitely a highlight for me (especially when they're handing out those delicious candy bars for free)!

 

Hope so. I missed out on the coffee last year (the line was just too damn long) but I'm definitely looking to get a couple bottles this year.

Question at thread: Does anyone know of any good southern BBQ places around the Munster Hampton that also serve good craft beer?

 

Bomber's BBQ is pretty great
