Darklord Day 2017

What do you think i should sell my vintages for when i get them? $25
anyone wanna claim these ahead of time? I don't ever sell beer but i have like 4 of each vintage and i don't need anymore of them.

I just want a variant of anything now...

 

They were supposed to have an A line but never have. It was always supposed to be at the old North Gate entrance. Last year people were told the North Gate was group A priority and group A people ended up getting in after group B. It's FFF, it's not normal.

 

Yes, they could have done a better job communicating. But at the end of the day, people are still going to be buying DLD tickets no matter what.

 

If I'm FFF I'm going "Wait, we could just unload all our vintage bottles first and claim it was random. Then next year we could have a ton of leftover variants so we don't have the same shit storm if we have a variant shortage."

 

As a group A I am a bit disappointed. But at the same time I am elated that all I have to worry about is getting there on time. Now I wonder how many vintages will my group of 4 (2A and 2B) end up with.
Also if I get Muerte I will trade it for a Ronaldo

 

I'm a fan of the randomness because the bottle pickup line will fly, but if we have good weather and people aren't tied up in bottle pick up for 2 hours, the food and tap lines are going to be STUPID long.

 

I've been D and E the last couple of years, so didn't know if that had changed, but I had A three years ago, and (IIRC) they sent the A group directly into the brewery - I remember having bottles in hand and back in the car by 11:00, with the doors opening at 10:00 that year.

I can understand people's trepidation on getting stuck in the admission line, and getting screwed out of the group A window, and having to come back at 7:00 pm. Here's hoping Floyds thought this though...

 

Truth...but I would have chosen a later group. I chose to get my group A because there was the thought that things wouldn't change as originally posted on the website. Had I known otherwise I'd have chosen D or E, arrived later, and stayed for Amon Amarth.

Seems familiar. Last year there were 2015 variant lefovers as an option.

 

Seriously

 

I do fear that vintages will be in the random bags but I do have hope that perhaps not. There will always be a small percentage of people for whatever reason do not use their DLD tickets, especially since you cannot change the name. Perhaps that is why those who do not pick up their allotment during their specified time will be forced to pick it up after E's pick up their bottles. I assume FFF will want to give out variants over vintages if they can.

 

Yes, A needs to get in ASAP. Hope there are separate queues.

 

AccuWeather forecast 7 days out:

If this thread has taught you one thing, never assume FFF will do anything. They've literally posted how things would be and have changed them several times.

 

For anyone doubting it used to say first come, first served. I'm not complaining here. I'm glad they're doing random. Just saying it was originally first come, first served.

I'm calling it now. There's gonna be a group A dude who brought his wife/girlfriend mule who doesn't even like beer and end up with 4 vintage bottles.

 

Can someone re-post the recommended tasting glass lanyards one can purchase online? Need to pick up 2.

 

I hope not!

I mean...yeah, that guy.

 

Went on Amazon.com and found this. Looks perfect. Velcro allows holder to be adjusted to glass size.

I'm a fan of the random I guess, but it used to say vintage only when variants ran out. The fact that they're in the random bags is upsetting. I hope they save them all for the after 7pm pile.

 

Absolutely a fan of the random variant. I think it is the best, most efficient way to do it. And that tote bag reveal will be intense.

I can understand some frustration from those who held out for a Group A or Group B ticket based on previous years. But it is FFF. Timely, steady communication isn't happening.

Based on nothing but pure speculation (so basically, in the spirit of this thread...), I think the vintages will not be as prevalent as we are fearing. We will see in one week!
