Dark Lord Day 2016

10 Variants, bourbon barrels are 53 Gal a barrel. So max without any evaporation over the year and filled to the brim we are talking 267 bottles per barrel. So 1 barrel per variant would be 2,670 bottles. Maybe 1-2 barrels for the rarest variant would expect about 5 barrels for the least sought after/easiest to get.

Final guess about 11,000 tickets.

 

I have been curious about this for a while... The consensus on here is that they will have the same attendance as last year. I believe the attendance last year was around 10,000 people ($2,000,000 of revenue for Three Floyds, wowza). so according to @Wowzors estimation, they would only need 42-45 barrels to meet the BA demand. Seems reasonable, right?

 

Anyone know when FFF released what bands are playing in the past?

 

With the space of the distillery next door, I believe they have the space, but again i am just ball parking here, I dont know what that facility lay out looks like or if its feasible.

 

Best bottle shares are outside the gates anyways.

 

You need to bring a ticker's thimble

 

I know that was the case in 2013 and 2014, but I could've sworn that all pours were $5 last year. Just the premium stuff was in smaller plastic cups.

 

I am sure i paid $10 for a BA Dark Lord

 

I spent more than $20-30 on taps last year. I basically camped out by the FFF taps adjacent to Big Freedia's tent. Though I also didn't walk around due to the rain and muck. Horny for Blood was great!

 

I believe I spent $30-40 on taps last year (at least thats what my wallet tild me...dont quite remember). I think that the exclusion of GA tickets and the inclusion of $40 /person in the price will probably even out. I'd be super bummed if FFF decided to do something like up the price to $10/pour as a money grab.
Having said that remember all the $40 does not need to be spent on beer. I feel like I spent at least $15 on food last year and should have spent more (re:needing my wallet to tell me how much I spent)

 

I'm sure I paid 5, and more than once.

 

Looking for some advice for parking overnight on Saturday. Can this be done at Centennial Park or any other place near the brewery?

 

I know I paid $10 for some BA Darklord at the FFF's tent located in their parking lot. It wouldn't surprise me if different tents charged different amounts. I know my brother and I each bought the same beer at different times and one was the 20oz ish cup and the other was the 10oz ish cup.

 

I went to the tent by the stage and it was the same 10oz glasses that all the other beer I've gotten the last few years was in.

 

Are you still in SC?

 

All I know is that my $40 worth of vouchers is all going toward FFF/guest taps

 

Here's your first weather forecast for April 30th.

 

first weather report looks much better than last years, 40's and rain

 

Ugh...never, never look at the forecast until it's within a couple days. Every time I do that, it's the opposite of what the early forecast says. You've jinxed it for us. GRRRRR....
