FOBAB tickets?

They don't go on sale until the 19th (scroll down a bit on the webpage).

 

Tickets are live now! Just secured mine. Maybe we'll start a megathread once we get closer to the fest.

 

I assume I'm already too late for this year, but how do you get early admission tickets again?

 

You needed to become an ImBIBE member before September 4th to gain access to the VIP presale. I've clipped a section from their email below for future reference:

FoBAB Presale for ImBIBE Members

ImBIBE and FoBAB go together like bourbon and barrels, which is why ImBIBE membership is the only way to unlock exclusive access to presale tickets with one-hour early entry to FoBAB. To be eligible for ImBIBE presale tickets, all memberships must be purchased and/or renewed by Thursday, September 4 at 11:59 p.m. CT. Eligible ImBIBE members will receive special email communications with presale ticketing information.

As a reminder, your ImBIBE membership includes:

- Access to presale tickets for the 23rd annual Festival of Wood & Barrel-Aged Beer, including one-hour early entry
- Complimentary VIP upgrade with one-hour early entry to Beer Under Glass (with purchase of general admission ticket)
- Discounted tickets for the Chicago Friday Night Flights series (when purchased in advance)
- Home delivery of Illinois Brewing, the Guild’s new quarterly publication packed with news, brewer features, event calendars, interviews, and more
