Hill Farmstead Third Anniversary

wantwantwantwantwant

 

I have about a million questions but I'll wait for more details to be released.

 

Food to 11pm, about the time I'll get my jasper hill grilled cheese sandwich!

 

I plan on attending this. VIP if possible

 

Connoisseur you mean!

 

Yes, that.

 

Did this sell out quickly last year?

 

I'm going to do everything I can to buy tickets. I hope the ticketing system is prepared for the attack of 97% of beer geeks within 1000 miles of Greensboro, because Maximus is unleashing hell on their servers at 7pm on Feb 3. Can't wait!

 

Nice little price bump this year

 

Getting married the next day so won't be able to make this one...

<mulls George Costanza delay tactics>

 

Yeah, last year's Mother of All Storms debacle should have nothing on the pain their servers will feel over this one if they aren't ready for it.

This would sell out at 3x the current price.

 

Pretty sure this would sell out at 20x the current price...but then it'd be yuppy Wall Street beer geeks only, and that's no fun for anyone. Price looks great to me!

 

I wasn't commenting on what they could charge, I'm commenting on the fact that the price is going up.

Maybe they should charge $100 for the regular session so only the ballerest of ballers from Boston and NYC can afford to attend

 

That sounds like a cool party bro

 

sounds like a great event - I'm hoping to make it back to HF for this

 

I will be driving from Tampa, FL. 1,479 miles FTW!

 

I'm bummed to read that this will be a ticketed event this year. I've gone to the past two, and last year convinced a friend to join at the last minute. It seemed like there was ample space and never too much of a line, so I'm surprised to see that they're doing tickets this year. That said, they run their events very well and I'm sure they have a good reason for restricting the size. After all, there's only so much space for parking and only so much those porta-potties can take. I'm still hoping to go this year, but it will require more advanced commitment. Then again, I've been planning to go this year since I left the anniversary party last year.

 

Shaun has said that the tickets give a much better ability to properly handle logistics regarding portapotties, food, beer lines, etc. With a show up model, 300-800 people could attend, which is hard to plan for.

 

I definitely want to try for a connoisseur ticket as I have been unable to purchase anything VIP-related due to quick sell-out of the tickets.
