    Looks like a bunch of tickets were released or something. Can buy up to 10 again. I am having a tough time pulling the trigger. Sadly, thinking I am going to skip it this year.

    Winterfest is still my favorite guild event. I've only been to ABR once, last year, was stuck in that line , and it left a bad taste. Hopefully they can do better this year.

    Got a nice response from MNCBG about entry:

    "Thanks very much for your note, and apologies for that experience you had at the 2013 event. As a matter of fact, we're looking to implement many of the same things that work so well at APN at ABR this year. More gate rows, a holding pen, parking lot check-in staging area and possibly two entrances.
    We have also approached the City of Minneapolis about closing the road leading into the event. If that's something you support please feel free to reach out to the City to reinforce how important it is to you as an event-goer.
    We look forward to a smooth entry process at ABR this year."

    The line problems last year left me pretty well off in the first 30 minutes with no line at Town Hall... lol

    Town Hall? You were doing it wrong. We sat down right in front of the Bell's BA 9000. :wink:

    I camped at Bell's until BA 9000 and then Black Note were gone too. It was awesome getting my glass filled and then jumping back in line with about 10 people. What a way to start ABR!

    And that's how I woke up on the couch the next morning, with my shirt off and pants halfway down to my ankles.

    Worth it.

    Got lucky on an online auction for charity a few months back. Selling were 2 tickets.

    Funny! I must have been right there with you guys as I was doing the same thing! I know a couple of us were giggling at each other.

    After the Great Taste Of The Midwest I'm super pumped for ABR! Going to seem like a glass 3/4 empty in comparison though :grinning:

    Speaking of ABR - some friends of ours bailed and we have 4 extra tickets that we will sell for face value if people are still looking for them. Send me a message. Preference is to sell all four together, or split into pairs.

    These are now pending pick up -- if the sales fall through I'll repost.
