    Depends which they will have but I think it was $15/mini-snifter set (2 glasses) from Dark Matter Coffee. Last two years there were two different looking sets of mini-snifters from them. Also, in 2015, they had a gigantic 22oz chalice that weighed probably a couple of pounds and last year they had a 3rd mini-snifter set (black FFF logo) not made by Dark Matter. Not sure how much those cost though.

    I think the dark matter mini-snifters were more expensive than that. Maybe $25? I know Sunday me is always upset with Saturday drunk me on spending way too much on glassware.

    I think I remember the dark matter being 25/set and 3floyds at 15/set

    For what it's worth, for the past two years there has always been extra glassware of every type on sale at star lounge and dark matter on western for at least a few weeks after. The only thing those places didnt have last year were the awesome coffee mugs dark sold with the coffee at DLD.

    I don't believe this was the case last year.

    Ok you might be right...perhaps I am only thinking of two years ago. I might be getting old.

    It definitely was. I remember receiving an email from Dark Matter a few weeks after DLD. You were able to purchase them on their website (I chose the gold snifters) and then you could pick it up at their Western shop.

    yeah just confirmed by finding the old email. They only had the gold and silver snifter set in the email, but I believe they had other glassware in the store.

    I always preach cheese and bananas. Granted it'll be like passing a cinder block the next day, but at least you aren't shitting at Dark Lord Day.

    Has anyone received their tickets in the mail yet? I can't remember when they were shipped-out last year.

    Trust me the SECOND someone gets their tickets they will run here screaming on fire to tell us.

    Looking back at last year's DLD thread people started getting their tickets April 6th. I'm thinking it'll be a week or so before we start seeing tickets since DLD was moved ahead 2 weeks.

    The email confirmation says tickets will be shipped 30 days prior to the fest and we will receive tracking numbers. So prepare for a deluge of "GOT MY TRACKING NUMBER! "GOT MINE TOO! CANT WAIT FOR THAT TOTE BAG!" posts in about 7-10 days.

    And let's not forget about the inevitable "I didn't get mine...did anyone else not get theirs???" freak-out posts as well.

    I got my tickets today. Apparently they are barrel aged this year.

    Yeah. We all got them. We've been playing it real close to the vest though.

    I bought a set in each color for me and my friend ($50 total) and them promptly lost them. I still get shit for it to this day.
