    We'll at Vintage for the third year after several years at Steve's. Hasn't seemed like there was nearly as much sharing going on at Vintage.

    Also doing vintage again this year. Was there around 3:30 last year, but thinking of pushing that back to 6 this year. Am I crazy?

    Yeah it's an interesting crowd. We'll definitely be imbibing, come find us! We've got a big-ass tent (this is why I like Vintage) but hopefully the weather holds and we can sit outside. No ultra whales or anything, but beers will be drank and maybe bring a bags set or somethin.

    I think the past couple of years 6AM was right about the end of the line for guaranteed tickets. Worth a shot, but risky proposition.

    Where I was last year there were still a handful of tickets left over at 9am.

    Last year's rain sucked but this year's weather is looking much better. Sadly I'll be traveling that weekend and won't be able to make it but I did leave the fiance money labeled "GTMW Tickets" so fingers crossed he grabs us tickets.

    I've gone to GTMW the last 3 years without purchasing a ticket in advance. I've never had an issue buying tix for cost or less at the gates. I will continue going that route again this year.

    Oh yeah. It's not hard to get a ticket at the gates, or the night before on Craigslist. I go to make sure my group gets enough tickets and also because it's a fun little bottle share.

    I will be missing GTMW for the first time since turning 21 since I'll be in Montreal/New England during that time. Sad to break the streak, but I'll start a new one next year.

    Should I even bother with going the mail order route?

    I sent in for mail order tickets, but I haven't heard anything back about whether I got tickets or not.

    I noticed some people are looking to buy tickets because they struck out on mail order tickets. Like I said, I haven't heard anything either way. How do you find out if you got tickets or not?

    I also checked my bank account and the check I mailed to them has not been cashed.

    This is my first time trying mail order so I'm not sure how or when you get notified.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Please allow 5-7 weeks for processing. By my count its been just a hair over 3.

    I understand that, but since several people already seem to know that they didn't get picked for the mail order lottery they must have already been notified.

    I've also sent some of those people a private message asking them how and when they were notified, but I haven't heard back from anyone yet.

    If it's not been returned then they may still have it. I would take that as a good sign for now.

    I know I didn't get picked because I forgot to send in an application....
