    Still Searching for Tickets... from my original screen right at 10:00. I opened a second screen soon after and refreshed about 8 times to get a single ticket to session 2. Looks like I will not be bringing any friends. Will have to make new ones.

    Just tried it again on firefox and it says not available. Tested it on internet explorer and it lets me buy them. Use IE. Not sure why it won't let u buy any on firefox.

    You might have 4. Website says ticketmaster may cancel any or all tickets that violate the limit, based on email, name, billing address, credit card #, etc

    well for what it's worth. i used chrome on a beater laptop (loaner) and checked out fine with no issues.
    Maybe because i had my multi pass. it let me through. :sunglasses:

    I had no issues with Chrome and got 2 tix to session 2 right at 1000. Was shut out last year and was disappointed having been to 2012. This was easy.

    I too used Chrome, although I used an incognito browser (so I don't know if that affects Ticketmaster's site or not). I was actually surprised how easy getting tickets was. Perhaps the high price turned a lot of people off.

    Chrome let me into the queue, I waited 15 minutes, then booted me. Fired up IE and I was in and out in minutes. Weird how shit works.

    Are hotel bottle shares a thing like at DLD? Would be interested in sharing some bottles after Session 3, just trying to figure out which hotel to book.

    I got two tickets for the first session at 10am with no issue. Not sure if I got lucky or if it was just the site, but it was a lot easier than in the past few years.

    By the time FOBAB is done, you likely won't be in any shape to bottle share. Save those whalez for fresher palate.

    I could get through on sessions 1 and 3, but not again for session 2. Since this is my first FOBAB, I'll call it good. See you there BA fans!

    Really entertaining watching people complain about the price for what is routinely one of the best beer events in the country GABF tickets are $80. What The Funk in Denver is $80.

    FoBAB qualifies as a value measured up against those events
