    Just got my email from Lucille that I won the drawing and can buy two tickets for the Ardea tapping. If you entered, now is a good time to check your email...

    I assume a lot of people entered with every email address they have since there wasn't anything to prevent it (no I was not one of those people).

    Semi-related question but didn't want to start a new thread:

    How easy is it to obtain tickets the day of the event at the gates? I haven't been in a couple of years, but last time I attended I recall seeing many people selling tickets at face value. Is this still the norm?

    Between Craigslist on Friday and the gates on Sat it shouldn't be *impossible* to get one. Last couple of years there's been less at the gates tho.

    I thought the winners weren't drawn until 5pm? Your time stamp of your message says 3pm.

    Non-purchased tickets on 8.6 @Midnight will be offered to another party - so there still could be hope...

    Must have been in a second round, got an invoice at 9.15pm last night which gave me until 8/9 to purchase.

    FWIW - I bought mine on Craigslist last year.. spent way too much. On Saturday morning I was offered a ticket in the hotel lobby. Then as I was walking toward the park I saw 2 people selling tickets, face value.
