Kane Brewing (September 2017)

said it has to match to your current valid ID

so may as well refund them, but be sure to CC me on the email to them, so I can start refreshing

 

Could not have done it any faster. Had 3 computers refreshing constantly. As soon as noon came up I added to cart on the first one that came up and clicked checkout and it hung for a few seconds and said sold out.

 

There will be bottles available in 7 minutes. The fact that it says "unavailable" and not "sold out" means there are carts that are going to expire right at 12:15. Keep refreshing.

 

Out of state first timer here. Nabbed a ticket. The EB page was laggy but nothing too rough.

 

Got lucky and "won" but they need to move to more of a lottery IMO.

 

Wow, got lucky. Finally get to try this!

 

It's simple supply and demand. I've missed on every one of these too but mathematically that is bound to happen for most people.

It's essentially the same thing, but I like that this was done only two/three days before the pick-up dates, giving less time for people from far away to plan their road trips.

 

yeah, Kane is giving a FULL refund - should at least keep $20 to deter those people.

There will definitely be a line next Thursday at opening with people trying to buy the left overs.

 

First time I've ever won one of these lottery/online sales things and for my favorite style of stout! I'm pumped but understand the frustrations cause I've been there for ANTEAD, etc...

 

I got lucky - only had one browser open and got through right at 12, after having been shut-out of every kane on-line release so far.

Honestly, I am shocked that anybody not using a bot got through (to be clear, I would have no idea how to even use one). Bots can pull 1,000s of tries at once, while we all do 1-3 windows at best. Maybe the new ticketmaster verified fan is the way to go - pre-register with all your info to then have a chance at on-sale once it goes live. I think that would cut down on bots, but who knows.

 

I agree. There is no down side in entering even if you have no intention of picking it up.

 

Admittedly, I am one of the unlucky ones, but I do not understand why this needs to be sold in a set of 5. Can this not just be 2? Who really needs 5 of these bottles? Gives the opportunity to several hundred (thousand?) more people to score.

 

What happened to everyone one in my office who was trying for me was that it disappeared from the cart before checkout. That is a problem because it gives the appearance of some malfunction. That is what made so many people freak out when they did this with ANTEAD.
IF they are going to keep doing it this way, I just might have to invest in a Bot program.

 

Got a set. I definitely prefer pre-sale to lottery. Not just cause i was lucky this time and have never won the lotteries, just makes more sense.

 

Immediate, saves the drive. Lol

 

I just got through now

 

the old 15 minute cart expiry...

 

At least in a lottery I feel like I got a fair shake.
When everything is gone within seconds, it just comes across as I never had a chance.

Cavaet, I am not complaining, everyone who got an allotment enjoy it. I will grab some on draft.

 

This worked!
