    Tickets go on sale Sunday at noon. Back to one session this year-anyone know why? Best of luck to all trying to get tickets! I'm going to try to stay upright this year.

    I really liked the morning session last year. The mini-bloodies were a nice touch as well. Tickets typically last for a couple days, so scoring them isnt a huge deal.

    Your right, I think this year they will go quickly. I bet they decided to go back to one session because there was a disparity between the 2 sessions i.e. having Black Note and Black Butte XXII at the afternoon session and not the morning. I know they advertised the the same beers were going to be on both sessions but really how much keg Black Note does the brewery have to give away for an event, probably not 2 sessions worth.

    Poop, I'm going camping this weekend. Wonder if I can sneak away to a coffee shop for a few hours or something to get some wifi.
    Thanks for the reminder.

    Didn't sell out the morning session last year, although there were still quite a few people in attendance...so I may also be confused.

    What is this presale that is listed on the ABR page? It has a presale on 7/15, and general public sale on 8/1. Kind of confusing, no details are given.

    Here is what the site says, and I don't know what it means.

    We will be offering (2) ticket release dates this year to give folks an extra chance to get tickets.
    Unadvertised pre-sale tickets go on-sale at 12pm noon CST on Sunday, July 15 until sold-out.

    The remainder of the tickets will be released to the general public at a second on-sale at noon on Wednesday, August 1.
    This year we are back to the (1) session format to maintain the quality of festival for the attendees and the brewers, so there are less tickets available for the event then last year. This event generally sells out quickly, so mark your calendar for July 15th, 2012 and August 1st, 2012!

    It's still saying there are tickets available. Do a "Ctrl+F5" refresh.

    Annoying. More info would have been nice. Did they sell 25 tickets today? Half? Most?

    Shut out here as well. ABR has been generally well-run, but I don't get this.
