    How does this compare to the Beer Dabbler winter carnival?

    Winterfest IMO is the best event of its kind around here. I think it pretty much sells out in seconds.

    how does ABR not crash their servers but Winterfest does?

    It's been a couple of years since Winterfest ticket sale crashed a site. We were probably due, especially when they were offering up to 10 tickets at a time.

    I'm starting to think it's easier to just wait for the scalpers to post to craigslist. At least that website works.

    its back up but appears to be sold out...

    "No tickets are currently available for this event, but it is not yet sold out. Some tickets are currently being held for people completing orders. If these tickets are not purchased, they will become available again at some time within 20 minutes."

    12:00 Tickets for sale
    12:01 Website Crashed
    12:11 Site's back up with it's usual disclaimer that no tix available but it's not sold out yet.
    12:45 Look for the official "all sold out" sign
    ~2:30 Official explanation of how it was a fair process and they sold out in seconds gets posted

    In the mean time, watch for various "This wasn't fair!" statements to be peppered throughout the day.

    Just got 2, now pending. Love the event when I've gone in the past, but $164 is making me second guess a purchase...
