A+ troll job by FreshTix here. Really amazing. No site lag or anything so you assume they have **** under control, then people get different refund emails, winning emails for days they were refunded... Truly excellent

 

[Rowingbrewer1]

Im out for the 4th as well. would be nice to win on friday/saturday though

 

[KFiedler]

A friend received a winner and loser for the same day as well...

swing and a miss!

 

[Don2]

Yeah it appears quite a few people have received winning and losing emails for the same day

 

[BGsWo22]

Better buy those bottles on the lose/win days quick

 

[Jonada]

Swing and a miss for me.

 

[MKtheGeneral]

Are they truly losing emails or are they just refund emails?

The reason I ask is because I got a refund for Friday and Saturday but then received a winner for Friday. I called ASAP and they completed the transaction for the full amount (including what had been redeemed) $53.07. So who knows, maybe that'll be the case for everyone - everyone gets all days refunded and then winner emails if they've been drawn?

1/3. Not going to complain.

 

[Resuin]

Still waiting on a couple days I entered...

 

[BDK82]

Does that mean people entered twice for same day?

 

[tehzachatak]

Still waiting on a couple days I entered...

Me too!

 

[averagjoe3]

got a Saturday winner.

 

[johnnyramirez]

I got a winner for Friday. Idk if I can make the drive from the Bay Area though.

 

[Iliketurtles]

I won Thursday and Friday!

Paid too.

 

[dabaloons]

Just spoke to them it was easier for them to refund everybody and then charge the fee only to the winners. EVeryones name was pulled if you got an email you won only for that specific day if you havent gotten an email yet you have lost.

I've received refund emails for 2 of the 4 days I entered - are you saying that means that I won on the two days that I received these emails for?

 

[dabaloons]

according to freshtix they pulled everyones name at the same time so if you have not received a winning email you have lost they are still processing refunds all according to the guy on the phone for freshtix

 

[Number45]

So no winning email as of now might me no winning email period? In that case:

 

[Resuin]

Well then I guess:

I'm still holding out hope until I get those last refunds, but it doesn't look good.

Yeah... hoping it was misinformation

One item of note not called out here yet:

The deadline for purchasing your bottle is 9:00 p.m. EST on Friday, January 23, 2015. Bottles not purchased by Friday at 9:00 p.m. will be forfeited, and additional names will be randomly drawn and contacted directly by Freshtix.

I'm sure there will be at least A FEW. Doubtful many.

 

[Resuin]

Also this? (I doubt it, but I can only hope). It's past the deadline for refunds if you were a loser, does that mean I win?:

"If you were not a winner, your credit card will be refunded by 5 p.m. on Friday, January 16."

 

[GregorySingh]

Yeah... hoping it was misinformation

I'll be prayin for you Os!

 

[Os]

just confirmed that they will refund every entry and recharge the winners... I still only have 2 of 4 rejections however

 

[Don2]

Someone on BA says freshtix confirmed only 200 winners, seems about right for a single barrel beer.
Went 0-fer here
