    So this is probably nothing...but...when I check on my ticket in Universe it says 'Saturday PM' session, which is what I ordered. However when I import it directly to my calendar it shows up as Friday, 11/11. Stupid smartphones...

    Usually a list is leaked after the Friday session. If i remember the reason right because there are awards associated with it they do their best to keep it secret. The list last year was fantastic and it would be impossible to try everything.

    Found some of the best stuff their ignoring the big names and skipping big lines. A couple of highlights however some could be off. It was 10 months ago and I was fairly intoxicated.

    Did everyone who purchased tickets receive an emailed receipt? I'm 99% sure I got two to the Saturday evening session--I can log into my Universe account, view, download and print them--but I didn't receive any email confirmation and the "receipt" on Universe doesn't show any amount or payment info so far as I can see.

    Got Saturday AM tickets
    I haven't received an email receipt yet. I was able to download and print them off of the Universe site. I assume I'll get the receipt sometimes today.

    I would do one of the earlier session also but I know the hurt the IMBIBE members puts on the rare beers for those two sessions.

    I'm surprised Saturday is sold out. I could have sworn last year tickets were available all the way until about a week or two before the event

    Maybe they limited them more this year (crossing my fingers but... no they didn't)

    Sorry if this was asked and answered, but I didn't see it. If I bought 2 tickets, do I have to transfer the second ticket so it's in my buddy's name. I assume not, but just making sure. Thanks!

    They've never cared before. Can't imagine they will this year.

    Nope no email confirmation on the tickets either, but also able to login and see my 2 tickets. Odd thing was that I forwarded the other ticket I got for my buddy and it did email me to confirm that he has accepted his ticket from me. Weird.
