    Planning to do the same. However, do you think they sold later for the locals on purpose, or do you think they sold enough tickets to do full allotments and then just sold whatever was leftover from the ticket sales. There will be no leftovers from the ticket sales this year. They could prepackage everything and then send the rest to distro. I would think they purposefully hold some back for taproom release since it lasted into the evening last year, while in past years it would be gone within a couple hours.

    This change to the ticketing format makes me think 2 things:
    1) The past few years there must have been an obnoxiously large amount allocations that were never picked up.
    2) Founders probably wants to test a new format in anticipation of a CBS ticket sale breaking the internet later this year.

    With regard to #2, they offered a KBS ticket pre-sale for Mug Club members today, and I'm really hoping they opt to do the same for a possible CBS release, precisely because of the internet Armageddon of which you speak.

    I love the new format. The price doesn't scare me, because I already have people only wanting half so it helps financially.

    I got my ticket Sunday an hour after tickets went on sale. I sure hope they do tickets for CBS.

    Looking to go mid-week. Been last two years and looking for an eatery with a good selection of beers. Have been to Harmony (great pizza). Any suggestions other than Hop Cat?

    If you want to drive south of town about 10-15 minutes check out Monellis in Wyoming. It has a sports bar side and a family side. Their tap list is usually better than Hopcat. Their web site tap list is usually up to date.

    The ticketfly website is a little confusing. Is there a link to buy tickets for pickup of a junior package for Friday? All I see is tuesday 3/7

    Yeah, all the dates were there earlier this week, now 3/7 is the only day listed. I don't really want to go that day, but if it's the only option at 11:00 when tix go on sale I guess I'll have to buy them. Don't want to get shut out.

    So fast! I got my ticket in record time. Much better than past years!
    Only thing better would be if CBS is on tap when I go on Wednesday:rolling_eyes:

    Had tickets...then got kicked out because I wasn't logged in. Hit refresh until Friday reopened. Momentary panic, but all turned out well!!

    Whoop whoop, Saturday tix two years in a row. And that's after I accidentally hit a Wednesday ticket on my computer... good thing we have a control-room of devices trying to get a single ticket lol.

    Shut out. Even though you can click the plus to get a ticket, you get a message saying sorry, all tickets are in other shopping carts.

    A sketchy process, but scored mine. Keep trying as they seem to just pop up!
