Lawsons 7th Anniversary Party

Translation: The 'FreshTix' server in some guy's basement in Mississippi blew the circuit breaker.

 

Don't worry about that slacker.

 

It will be interesting to see how they handle all the people with duplicate entries. For instance I got two confirmation numbers and two emails with tickets for the 3 pm session. I assume this happened to several people.

 

Never mind.

We are deleting duplicate ticket orders for LFL beer lovers mkt. Will keep one per person/per name and resend good ticket by email.

 

I don't think it was bots...I think it was a crappy server combined with people reclicking over and over making duplicate entries

 

Sent you a Private Message.

 

I'll take this new system any day over waking up at 4am to stand in a line for 3 or 4 hours. They just need a better server or provider.

To blame Lawson's Finest, Sean himself, or @youbrewidrink is asinine.

 

Anyone been able to get one of the tickets that have been released since they went and began eliminating duplicate purchases? Or should I just stop trying?

 

I was able to score one about 15 minutes ago. They have changed the Freshtix website from "sold out" to "no longer available" FWIW

 

My buddy scored about 15 minutes ago too. 3-4 session.

 

Just scored about 5 minutes ago with a Group 1 session. What an absolute fiasco this morning. I feel bad for Lawsons with how many disgruntled emails I'm sure they received.

 

I'm considering holding off on releases like this that are outside of New York from now on...You locals in Vermont must hate the fact that you can't get beer from your own backyard...I'd be LIVID

 

For those who went last year - are the draft pours that you can get at the market during your session full pints or tasters? The info on the web site isn't clear on this. Thanks.

 

They have been full pours in the past (plastic cups, not sure how many ounces), I am guessing it will be the same this year.

 

Thanks. Given that we can only be there for the hour that is our session and part of that will be lining up and purchasing beer, probably isn't much time to try more than one, maybe 2 different beers.

 

In the past how much have the drafts cost? I went two years ago but I don't remember what they were charging.

 

More and more people are starting to see this...

 

We see alot of great local stuff on draft and have the same opportunity to purchase bottles as everyone else.

I am not of the entitled mentallity, of course I would love easier access, but that just not the fair way to do things.

 

Any word on Fayston bottle counts? Trying to gauge whether or not the other beers will sell out before they get through the first session...

 

Lawsons posted on the site that they have enough Triple and SOS for everyone in attendance to get full allotments. They have enough allotments of the variants for everyone in the first 2 sessions to get full allotments and that they expect them to all sell out somewhere in the 3rd session.
