Winterfest 2014

Kept hitting refresh, got 2 tickets then crashed, tried again and just picked up 2 tickets...keep trying for a little while. the crash probably set the system back a little bit

12:37 edit - I just refreshed and some are still available

 

I was able to get my solo ticket

 

I saw this too. Don't believe it. They're back up and selling again now.

 

There's many more tickets this year. 6 packs still available. Heck I just tried and coulda had 2 but a sOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO broke I can't justify it atm, although I could put it on my 0% cc...no I really shouldn't I have to still catch up from my $0 income for over a month.

This crushes dabbler, plus it's inside and warm. Although Is ee they moved it this year to Union Depot so they must have expanded ticket count a lot, especially with a 10 ticket limit.

 

I got 2 a couple minutes ago.

 

ya never works out that way. Luckily my gf was able to get 2 at the 15-20 minute mark so I'm all set. See everyone there! (everyone with a ticket, that is).

 

Odd. I got 2, but I keep checking. It seems to alternate between "none available" and as high as 10.

 

Yeah, I'm starting to have mixed feelings about this one. On one hand, I love the fact that everyone's actually getting a chance to attend this. On the other, I'm concerned about how many people will actually be at this event. I've always liked that it was a smaller, more intimate setting so you could actually get around to all the brewers. I'm wondering if it's going to turn into a wait-in-line festival for the more popular tables.

 

All that I can figure is that there is a premium to have this held inside. No idea what the relative costs are between places like the old Grain Belt outdoor area and this indoor venue.

Also, the site was up with tix available when I just checked.

 

Does the ticket include food this year? It did last year but I didn't see any mention of it on the site.

 

Tickets are still available. I just got two.

 

New location this year and clearly they have made more tickets available than last year.

 

Tickets are STILL available. No doubt this will sell out, but I'm happy to see that demand has possibly cooled a bit at $82. The craigslisters are going to have a harder time turning a profit, for one thing.

 

This event's always been inside. They did relocate it this year although to a larger venue I really liked the Minnesota History Center, it gave it a neat feel. So I can only assume they can afford to sell more tickets... :-/ not quite sure what I think about that. However I'm still excited, but if it turns into a shit show wait in line fest like the dumb dabbler and such I'll be upset. Beerfests are losing it for me. I can spend the money on great beers and host a tasting with friends and it's going more towards that (Sidenote I did get to attend the Eclipse release party at 50/50 a couple weeks ago, and THAT's how you do something beer related. UNREAL, best part aside from all-you-can-drink eclipse, was the bottle share inside, had a table of all Cantillons, piles of other insane beers. Best beer event ever.

 

OK, 2+ days later and tickets are still available. Looks like I'm eating crow on this one.

 

Damn, I was going to pass on tix this year, but hearing they are still available is making me reconsider.

 

the safe play i found is buying the 3 pack.

 

I am curious how many they are selling now as I believe 6 packs are still available...I hope WF isn't a shitshow, I fear it may be. Well I'm excited to still go and if it is indeed a shitshow at home tastings it is from now on.

 

Not sure when exactly it happened but both Winterfest and the Six-Packs are both sold out. Anyone know what the full head count is for Winterfest?
