    I kept refreshing and eventually got past the pasword screen (Saturday session). After that, it was all smooth.

    I was a little thrown off when it finally went through to the Saturday purchase page and I didn't see a prominent Buy Ticket link but instead a little Paypal link in the lower right side of the page.

    Is this posted somewhere? I can't find it on their site or in emails.

    The number of drink tickets is now 20, up from 15, and that was posted on the regular sale site. The fact that they do not take tickets during that early hour has happened the past few years so I assume it will continue to be like that.

    Awesome, thanks! Missed that on the ticket page.
    I remember a few volunteers taking tickets during the early entry last year, but that may have been a miscommunication. Right before GA, there were reminding volunteers to take tickets.

    FWIW, the stations that took tickets were BA Abraxas and the Side Project stuff.

    This may be a stupid question, but does anybody know where GA tickets are being sold today? I am having a hell of a time finding the link and need to get a ticket for the GF as I got mine with my ImBiBe membership on Friday. Thanks in advance!

    If you volunteer do you get early entry where applicable?

    I do not believe that you were able to get early entry in the past. Also if you have not yet volunteered, it is likely too late.

    I threw my hat in the ring and got an email but am not sure how the ticketing process works. Could I specify saturday late session? I'd imagine you get what you get...

    this was how it was last year, but no guarantees it will be the same:

    The following is the schedule of benefits for volunteers:
    Friday:Ticket to the Saturday Night session of FoBAB
    Saturday Day Session:Ticket to Saturday Night session of FoBAB
    Saturday Night:Ticket to Friday night session of FoBAB

    IF you have gotten an email from FOBAB you are in. She also confirmed when I asked that you do get a free ticket but the sceadule was not available yet althouhg I would assume the same as last year.

    Do they allow you to get 2 pours at the tap? I'm getting in early but my friend isn't. I'd like to grab a BA abraxas for him before it blows.

    It would be pretty shitty if they did.

    One pour per trip through the line. Get back in line if you want a second.
