    You don't feel like accosting random group ticket holders and offering cash for beer?

    Edit: Non-snarky answer above.

    Because the GA ticket specifically excludes the rights to DL.

    You do have good point, standing at the exit to the dark lord bottle line with a fist full of cash will get you dark lord. And get it done much quicker that the suckers that just waited two hours in the dark lord line.

    Ah yes, but you'll miss out on all the bottle shares in the line (which is why people buy the tickets, right?!?)!

    Dare I say the Group B line moved too quick last year? Had some time to share in line, but it seemed like we were almost constantly moving.

    I can agree with this but with C. Line moved fast. I think it was done perfectly last year minus the cold coming in around 5.

    Not the case with E. It was cold, dark, and windy. Nobody was dressed appropriately, everyone sobering up and was ready to get the hell out of there.

    I remember a brief period around Noon where the bottle line was all but empty. Maybe a 5 minute wait, max.

    That's completely unacceptable at DLD. I definitely wasn't one of those people.

    2 years ago in Group E it happened to us after we waited in line for about 4 hours for bottles. Had an amazing wind burn tan though.

    I was in B, and you're right, it was my first time there and definitely moved faster than I anticipated.

    And the fact that the line moved so fast was just as much of a reason all the other lines were so crowded. Everyone here blamed it all on the GA tickets. But in past years there were always a few thousand people stuck in the bottle line. Faster line means more people to clog up the guest taps.

    Agreed, 2012 and prior you had to spend half the day in that bottle line unless you were a group "A".

    I had Group A in 2012 and still had to wait a couple hours. Last year was the best bottle lines I can remember, but everything else had decent wait times. Alas, that is expected at Dark Line Day.

    What other non-DL FFF bottles have been for sale in the past couple of years?

    I think for the most part whatever bottles to go they have on their site should be able to be purchased at DLD. I know last year I bought a few cases of ZD, some Permanent funeral, artic panzer wolf, and a few other different FFF beers.

    I got a couple bottles of SoBro 2 years ago. Plus the Zombie Dust line, which is stupid long.
