    I think it depends on how drunk we get :astonished:

    I thought south gate was typically for the other groups?

    There's no legit line for any certain group. Last year was a prime example of that with group A people not all getting in until group B was already going in for their allotments. I'm referring to the North gate that was supposedly for group A.

    I strongly suggest all group A'ers use the West Gate this year. It may take a few minutes to find it, but there shouldn't be any lines once you do. :wink:

    Predicting it now. North Gate will be super smooth, and South Gate will be a cluster fuck.

    This is where a drone comes in handy to see which line to use.

    Pass out in a garbage can, that'll get you off your feet for awhile.

    Know thy tolerance as Dark Lord is better going down than coming up...unless it is Temeculon 3000.

    Just get there at 6 like I do and be a part of that snake.

    Pros:
    Fantastic access to port-a-johns
    circular line share
    literally enter grounds and be handed bottles if A group
    literally enter grounds and get glass whalez if glass Ahab
    literally enter grounds and get guest taps
    not be upset at "less than A's" because you got in early too.

    Pro-ish Con:
    Probably already drunk when gates open at 9am

    Con:
    Have to wake up when usually going to bed. But no rain this year so you don't have to duct tape your pants around your boots.

    I respect your optimism, but I'm not so confident.

    Not the most ideal stout drinking weather, but I'll take it!

    In case anyone that has tickets in a later group under their name and was thinking about buying tickets in-person to get a better group, this is the response I got from FFF:

    "On-site sales have not been confirmed for this year. We will post on our social media pages if any additional tickets become available.
    You can only have two tickets in your name. If you purchased online, do not buy a ticket on-site because it will become invalidated.

    Thanks!"

    A soul does not consume Dark Lord so much as Dark Lord consumes the soul.

    If you had E, and you got A, i'd think you happily would take your E being invalidated. Both being invalid, well no one wins there, I guess FFF does.

    They will invalidate the ticket purchased at the taproom.
