Dark Lord Day 2015

Depends on where you're at in they city, but Reggie's always has shuttles to and from DLD each way so you'd have your transportation covered. Even if you don't get a ticket a lot of the fun happens outside the gates. You don't really need to get inside.

Worth it? Yes. Transportation? Take a shuttle. Lansman runs one plus there are others as well. Even if you don't get a ticket don't worry the best party is outside the fence

Alright, all signs point to me being in.

Just read through the some of last year's thread and have to call these two out...

I HAVE TO MAKE IT THERE NEXT YEAR. PERIOD.

Me too dad.

He might even attempt to make a cuvee with some guy he didn't even know's pour of St. Lam.

backfat is a cuvee raper.

No means no.

LITERALLY the worst advice I've ever given.

Last year he offered me what I believe to have been bathtub gin. That or prison toilet hooch. Either way it was very rape-y

 

[disapowzment]

backfat roofied me last year at DLD. Joke was on him though he had to carry me back to his car.

Edit - I heard he broke into one of the warehouses and borrowed a forktruck

As a recipient of a second-hand backfat brown bag pour I can say that this can potentially be a good move.

I'm now sufficiently freaked out.

Will be too busy wantonly stealing to stop by anyway.

So how exactly do tickets work? This thread made it sound like there are general admission tickets to the fest, and then separate tickets needed to get DL, but I only see one ticket mentioned on the DLD website...

The tickets on sale tomorrow allow you to buy bottles. Last year they also sold some GA tickets that only got you in. They did not include the right to buy bottles.

(Crosses fingers that I got this right)

The general admission tickets went on sale at a later date via lottery and where never part of the original ticket announcement.

 

[axeman91821]

OK, that makes sense. Is there much of a secondary market for the tickets that will be going on sale on Saturday? I know they're non-transferrable, but do many people try to flip their second ticket?

It's damn near impossible since your name is printed on the ticket and if you get two the person has to enter with you since your name is on both tickets. I'm hard pressed to find someone that would be willing to enter the grounds with someone after that same person bent them over real good on a DLD ticket. It will happen, but FFF has basically eliminated the secondary market for tickets.

Pretty much. If you want bottles, be sure to get a "Group" ticket. There are 5 groups, A-E.

I assume the GA tickets won't be on sale tomorrow, but who knows, things change every year.

 

[axeman91821]

This is going to be interesting, looks like I'll be trying to buy a ticket from my phone.

Much appreciated. Was thinking about hitting OH early for some Green Diamonds and then going somewhere for brunch.

Trady told me he's a no

So what ticket group do I shoot for today? A, B?

 

[ChicagoGuy]

WOOOOO getting excited! Just 2:40 until I get multiple page load errors, say "**** this ****", and go to the bar to drink overpriced Guinness with a bunch of already-wasted amateurs...can't wait!!!

Depends on how long you can stay functional. C is usually my 1st attempt while everyone rushes for earlier sesh.

Interesting strategy. Can you define functional?
