Darklord Day 2017

A couple questions for the veterans:

1) I took the jaks tap shuttle last year, but are there others I should consider? There seemed to be a lot of buses from other places.

2) When do in person tickets typically go on sale? A week or two after online sales? I will be checking their twitter frequently in the morning, but I would appreciate an estimate date/week if that is possible.

Hope to see you suckers there!

 

Love that DLD going live broke Beeradvocate

 

They are having you pay $20 not to have that problem this year.

 

I think that is one of the best ones as they have lots of time slots. The Reggie's bus is free I think, but it is first come first served. I think there is usually a bus that leaves from the Beer Temple as well. I'd stick with Jak's unless it is inconvenient for you.

Yeah, usually first or second week of April. It has been on a Monday, a Tuesday, a Saturday, a Sunday, and a Friday in the past. So no real way to predict it. Usually early in the morning, announcement will go out like 6am, sales at 7am something like that.

 

It's completely random. Usually at 9am on a workday.

 

I'm not sure how I feel about vouchers being sold separately. I only used 2 last year, but I was hanging out with a group that kept grabbing taps and passing them around. I also really should have hit a food truck to pace myself better. I'm sure I'll get annoyed when I have to go buy them.

 

maybe it will be cash?

 

Correct, Reggies is free but they send you off by the group you are in. Also each of the last few years, at least one of the buses has had issues.

 

Just noticed that the groups have a 2-hour window this year. Wasn't it shorter last year?

This page is there, but no additional info, and shows as page not found.


***Never mind...all pages that don't exist show that info***

 

I was thinking the same thing, and wasn't there another group?

 

I see they've embraced the soy sauce comparisons by going with the Shogun mascot this year.

 

It's going to be a long, hyped week ahead of us leading up to the ticket sale.

 

It's about time!

decided i'm going this year. what happens onsite? do you drink the beers they give you or buy them? are there freebies? what do people drink while there?

 

what happens onsite? food fight
do you drink the beers they give you or buy them? pour them out that is how it gets so muddy
are there freebies? dry handjees
what do people drink while there? soy sauce

 

FOr real though:

what happens onsite? Bottle share
do you drink the beers they give you or buy them? you can drink the beers included in the ticket if you want, you already bought them when you bought the ticket
are there freebies? not that I recall...
what do people drink while there? anything and everything, pretty big bottle share

 

In short No, Kind of, and Everything.
I'd highly suggest taking the next several days to read through previous years threads. Because you are asking the most innocent of questions right now. What your eyes will see by 1230 pm can't be described without you thinking people are trying to scare you off.

 

Onsite - Mega beer share. Bring beer, share beer, FFF taps ($), guest taps ($), food and merch ($). No freebies unless someone in attendance pours you something for free.

 

About as rookie of a question as it gets, when they say "Dark Lord allotment is per person NOT per ticket" if purchasing two tickets, would my guest and I leave with 5 or 10 bottles?
