    Patience pays off! Refreshed for 15 minutes and got a Tuesday ticket. 3rd year in a row. Life-Is-Good!
    Now Part 2: Going to the Sunday Morning Stout release tomorrow..
    Possible Triple Play? CBS served during KBS Week :grinning:

    Interesting that Friday was the last to sell out. Wonder if there were more Friday tickets available?

    I'm not sure what founders will do, but when they are officially sold out the event page changes from "unavailable" to "sold out". And they are now officially sold out.

    LOL - sold out in 60 sec - try like 10 sec - got into the Lobby - sat there for like one minute and got booted out - was able to to select 1 for Tuesday like 4 other times and each time got shut out - very frustrating.

    Got three tickets for Thursday with three laptops and another person in our party got two tickets. The key is to keep hitting refresh and having an account setup with your information to speed up the check out process.

    Took a risk and went for Friday. Luck was with me :sunglasses: Hit refresh on my browser the instant 11:00 came up and clicked fast.

    This ticket release was odd. My wife and I pretty much gave up. Had the "order" button still up, so what the heck, kept trying it. The order processed at 11:15. It shouldn't have happened, but I'm not complaining.

    Had one cpu and an iPad with the page loaded just in case. Got a Saturday ticket on the cpu and clicked Saturday on the iPad just in case as well. Cpu ticket went through, but iPad one was shut out. The difference was <10secs.
    Partner and I are 2 for 2 this year and last though. Very lucky!

    The butt-hurt is running rampant on Founder's Facebook page.

    This is when I'm thankful to be a local. That was a big shit show lol. Shut out after laterally 5 seconds. I'll hit the sale though when they sell all the 4pks all of your Grandparents aren't willing to pick up because they don't know why the they have to go get beer for their grandson who already has 1000+ bottles in his cellar ha-ha. Congrats to all who scored!

    That's such a bummer but seems reasonable in a way as well with so many folks getting shut out. Makes you wonder if you deserve 9 4-packs while others are left w/ zero
