    I agree, they love writing tickets- the state needs to get money from somewhere after all.

    Show up at 705 and got number 121. Not bad compared to the Triple Sunshine release. By 8am I'd say there were 200 easy.

    Going to be traveling up there for the October market, any idea on how many tickets are handed out? Looks like 7 am seems to be a ballpark time to arrive?

    For this previous one in sept there were plenty of tickets (I think 220 or 240?). There weren't enough people to grab them all (even at 8am), so I saw that some people actually ended up grabbing two tickets.

    We were at Mad Taco at 6:15am and we ended up getting ticket #58 &#59. By 7:30 there were close to 200 people there. Everyone was respectful, convivial and just plain happy to be there. After getting our tickets, we grabbed a FMIS & Peril draft and hung out on the deck with a couple of guys that we met in the line who were from CT. We even got to meet the world (in)famous @youbrewidrink and chatted it up a bit about the goings on in the MRV.

    We headed over to the market at about 9am and had our bottles by 10:15 or so. We got another ticket (from Sean himself) after the line at wound down a bit (Ticket #237) as we wanted a couple more PvW FMIS to bring back home. #237 was called at about 11:30 and I believe the last ticket was #240.

    At that point in time there was still every offering they had available that day (Maple Triple & PvW FMIS included) and they opened the line up to everyone. It was a great time and we're really looking forward to the next one.

    Got there at 8:30am last Saturday and got ticket number 190. Very well run and organized event, hopefully will get a shot to go to another one of these when I visit next year.
