    I'm pretty sure I paid $40 at Hill Farmstead last year and the year before, for 6 5oz pours, and you were allowed to purchase more tickets. Food was separate. While the price isn't completely outrageous, count me in on those that think it's a but much.

    As a beer person first, it would be nice to know what will be on tap for that price. I'd eat bread and drink out of a plastic cup if it meant drinking better.

    One accomodation I would like to see these events add (especially if the price is on the higher side) is a free shuttle included in the ticket price (or just in general) to and from the nearest T station. Harpoon does this for their events (granted it's likely closer to South Station than most places are to the nearest T, and they have more money).

    This way people could at least take the commuter rail in and not worry about an Uber (or being irresponsible :astonished:).

    For reals though. The Zwanze toast. Thats likely near the end right? I have a wedding at 4 but I feel like it may be worth it to go for 2 hours.

    There are legit reasons to sell packages to people. for Trillium it's likely just a lot easier to operate this way - you don't have people chugging beers so they get 10 pours of fou or whatever and other people get zero (so nobody leaves pissed off), you eliminate a lot of lines with simple ticket exchanges vs people paying cash/credit card each time.

    I think once you are there, the consumer experience is just a lot simpler this way.

    This is correct, it's always 3PM tapping (or supposed to be) on the East Coast

    Instant sell out. Got my two, but only because me and my girlfriend both did it right at 10.

    Damn that was quick. I tried mozilla and chrome to see if I could get through and did on one but not the other. Id say they were out in about 20 sec.

    Less than 20 seconds in my opinion. I accidentally clicked for one ticket, when I went back (in like 5 seconds), they were gone. See you all there.

    I got in right away and had 2 tix in my cart, then got cold feet about the price and other stuff going on that weekend (Ryder Cup, football, potential Sox pennant race, kid stuff) and bailed on them. So you're welcome if you got your tix at 10:06 or something.

    I saw the "Checkout" page about 10 seconds in but then it refreshed automatically and said they were sold out

    Site now says Sold Out instead of Unavailable. Guessing no other tickets will pop up.
