I think a better option would be to give ticket holders the right to buy a bottle each rather than including it in the price. You'd just have to punch or mark their tickets once they buy the bottles.

 

To accompany Atrial it is this and the Omni (Strawberry sour)

The HOLY Trifecta!

Raspberry Sour
Strawberry Sour
Blackberry Sour

 

ISO: Unpunched Tickets..

 

Looking forward to this one in so many ways!

 

Should be moved to the SW forum shortly

 

I'll bring the cherry rye

 

I like this idea, however, as mattchow pointed out there are ways of people gaining access to extra tickets. Although I'm sure there will be plenty of parking lot deals going down anyway

 

There is always a way around the system regardless of the process.

 

Fully aware of that. But I do like the idea of not including the bottles in the ticket price (assuming some people don't want them ) but giving you the option to purchase a bottle at the Fest with your ticket.

HF Zwanze day we were able to purchase 2 bottles of Damon with our Zwanze day ticket. When we arrived they gave us a separate ticket that said "good for 1 or 2 bottles of Damon," which we could choose to use or not use. If we used it to buy one bottle, we could not come back and get the second later.

 

there are ways around the system and then straight trading/buying bottles after the fact. the latter still requires an ID backed ticket purchase and there isnt a way around that, that isnt labor (read mule) intensive. however buying a ticket that needs to be punched just makes it that much easier. buying a ticket with the bottles included just means everyone who has a "VIP" ticket, gets the bottles, and everyone with No ticket is a DD or someone with a "Regular" ticket is a non bottle, festival only attendee.

 

This is delicious. Need a bottle.

 

There's no difference between someone handing you their ticket so you can buy the bottle and someone not wanting the bottle and selling it to a random person. Except for the fact that they could charge whatever they want and the brewery has a set price for the bottle.

 

And the fact that its illegal to sell alcohol with out a license

 

From what I understand there would be different tickets options. You wouldn't be forced to pay for something you're not buying.

 

My prediction: bottles will be poured for on-premise consumption only. Not enough of these were made for there to be a fair take-home system.

There are 500 bottles each of strawberry and blackberry, and they're each 500ml or roughly 16.9 ounces. Let's say 1000 tickets are sold to Funk n’ Sour Fest. Each person has a ticket with a punch for an 8-ounce pour of each of these beers. Assuming all 1000 people get an 8-ounce pour of both beers, there won't be any left for take-home sales.

 

Ah, so if they sell 500 tickets this year, then everyone could be entitled to a whole bottle, but if they serve these beers at the event, there still isn't enough for everyone to take home a full bottle, unless half got a strawberry and half got a blackberry.

 

You are also assuming they don't have it on draft like they did with AR.

 

Why even bottle it if it's on premise only?

 

Although if they do 350 tickets again with 500 bottles of each everyone could have a pour and a bottle to take

I don't like the idea of two different levels of tickets, unless you're talking DD vs drinker where the DD can not buy bottles. But I still don't like the bottles being included in the price of the tickets. It wouldn't be that difficult to give people the option to trade in your ticket for some combination of the bottles for purchase. Say everyone who bought tickets is guaranteed bottles available for purchase as the limit is, say, one per person, but no one is forced to buy bottles up front for admission to the festival and there is not a multi-ticket tier system. Name on ticket with ID for purchase of bottles, done and done.

This doesn't prevent parking lot deals, but nothing really does.
