    Hell, I'll even take Brown Paper Tickets selling KBS tickets at this point over this.

    There is no way all 3 sessions have sold out. Last year it took about 45 minutes. Something has got to be up with the site.

    It's darkly amusing to me that this happens for seemingly EVERY beer event, on EVERY site. You'd think they'd all learn by now.

    Impressive that it still isn't fixed.

    the problem is all these breweries and festivals want to appear organic and looking out for the little guy by going with these sites. if using ticketmaster means i'll pay an extra $5 per ticket, i'll gladly take it over having to hit F5 for 2 straight hours.

    Damn it. I guess my pre-trading 2 tickets is not looking like such a hot idea any more.

    Whatever site 3 Floyds used for DLD this year is the site everyone needs to start using. It's got Amazon as it's backend and it ran smooth as hell.

    Agreed, this kind of thing is obnoxious, and a waste of time. I'd spend that $10 gladly, if it would allow me to stop hitting F5.

    They need more concise verbiage i.e, Tickets are not yet available for this event. Unless... :wink:

    The other awesome thing is that Imbibe's own website is crashing. How were they not prepared for this?

    And I remember last year lamenting that it was boring because everything went so smooth. Bravo for the entertainment this year Imbibe!
