    But you can attend the general tent area and pourings outside, correct? I plan on getting there well before my mid afternoon session, unless this is not the case.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thats what I plan on doing. Probably stop at Pulpit Rock then head over to TG (I'm in session #9 :cry: ).

    There’s 0 chance you can change your time. However the line moves super quick and if at 115 you can be through it by 130 if you line up maybe 5 minutes before. Come early and grab some Taps outside. You won’t get your MD pour until through the line though.

    Man I know it's a logistical nightmare trying to rearrange people's times but I'm sure I'm not the only one that has messaged them saying that my given time isn't going to work, and could you please move me to a earlier pickup, just work with me here, I'm giving you a hundo for 2 bombers! I messaged them on Facebook, sent them a email, come on man some one out there wants a later time slot, I need a earlier one, anyone have connections there?

    My dude... even with connections your not gonna get what you want. Let me put it this way... Clark hates people who cant show up when they say they are going to... Now expand this into a company wide value and you have the TG mind set.

    Simple way to put it: you bought a ticket for a certain time slot, so show up for that time slot.

    You are fighting a losing battle here if you think your can change your time slot.

    Just trust me on this one, speaking from experience.

    But does Clark like money? Sure it is only one person like myself who posted here, but how many more like me are there where things come up and they simply no show? MD isn't what it was 3 years ago, so sadly I may have to forfeit.

    Follow the post by @WIexile . As for quality of MD, last year’s was arguably the best one. It can vary batch to batch. But no need to shit on it if you can’t make your time slot. You’re only out $10.

    MD isn't what it was 3 years ago to you yet you entered the lottery and would have still purchased it if they moved up your time? Sounds like sour grapes to me. You don't show? They'll just sell your MD later. It doesn't seem like they are having demand issues with MD.

    And they will still sell your allotment at the end of the day... TG has the high ground here, there is just no way you win.

    To echo what everyone has said, if you don’t show your beer will sell either way. Reading and following the rules are very simple, they are very up front about what the rules are and what is expected of the person buying the ticket and they need not show any special favors to people

    Not asking to win here, just asking to simply to move up my time, so I can contribute to Clark's goose that lays golden eggs several times a year, but why would they care about an individual? Good on you TG!

    Golden eggs don't need money. They are money.

    You've just donated $10 for something someone else will pull out from under you and buy at full or higher than base price. Your bad for not knowing that.

    Enjoy that.

    Enjoy it to the maximus assslamus. :hugging::clap:

    I don't think you fully understand how "rules" work. When tickets went live everyone had the option to choose a time slot. That's on you as the consumer to decide when you want to go. If the early times weren't available then it is what it is. Imagine 100 people asking for earlier slots. That would be a nightmare to please everyone.

    So now you're left with 2 choices. Go to the release with your chosen time slot or not go at all. If you don't like the answers that you've gotten here then that's not really anyone's problem.

    ... to be accurate, you were assigned a timeslot for MD, not able to choose in the first batch of tickets.

    I guess when I signed up to go, I made sure I could go. Otherwise I never would have even tried for tickets.

    And when the 2nd round of tickets went out, winners were able to choose which session they wanted.

    I will say this is not true for all of them. Had a second round winner friend who said they gave him a time slot, he did not choose

    Also to be fair, the first was a random lottery in which they said they would choose your time for you. Release has typically been between 8AM-4PM. However when planning on going to an event you should make sure you can be there if your time is 8AM or by 4PM so your point is valid.
