Hill Farmstead thread

What a ripoff. This lottery doesn't even come with a handcrafted $500 tote to carry my overpriced beer.

Screw these guys.

Absolutely hate the rigid one-day pickup window for each day's lottery. It will inevitably be a snowstorm one of those days and then a huge chunk of people are SOL? That doesn't seem right.

Also, does this mean you can enter each day's lottery and potentially win more than one bottle?

I'd love to see both of those points clarified and/or explained.


















Alas, having tried Ann, it's worth it.

I can't wait for Ann b3 - aged on Darren Hill totes that once held Ann and Art.

 

[Resuin]

you get the $5 back if you lose haha no one can read

This info was edited in later - originally, it just said "Freshtix will charge a flat service charge of $5.37 for each entry at sign up." then later, they changed it to: "Freshtix will charge a flat service charge of $5.37 for each entry at sign up (applied to winning entries; those who do not win will be refunded!)."

HF actually did a good job of clearing this up on their Facebook page posting:

• Pam BrisjarSo, theoretically, one could potentially get 4 bottles?

Also HaveUSeenMyCellar is on there whining about how trustees aren't allowed.

That's the way I read it. For someone who's nearby, that's awesome...except that it's $50/bottle.

I'm sure if there's a blizzard, he'll adjust.

And holy ****, people, the $5 is refundable if you're not drawn. If you lose, it costs nothing. Deep breaths, read slowly.

On that note, only other thing I'd love to see is if you win on multiple days, can you pick up your bottles all at once?! Hoping yes, but I bet not.

System is as good as any, looks like a fair way to handle this.

I also read that as bottles that are won are only available on that specific day.

 

[averagjoe3]

i think $45 a bottle is actually less than what most of us were thinking. I like this concept, although not a fan of the $5.37 non refundable entry fee.

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

edit: sorry for late reply lol

Maybe you're correct, but it doesn't sound like it.

So if I win thurs and sun I'd have to go back both days? if i cant make it back sun i forfet my money? They should have just done one bottle per person and a multi day pickup window. Lol. I'd be on the phone with amex right away. This is the lamest release ever. I'd rather hear they got drunk and drank it all.

 

[Rootz121]

could give a **** about the price, or w/e nonsense fee

pick up process seems needlessly rigid

I kept reading it thinking you all were nuts.

Then I reloaded and saw the quick fix.

Just so people know I can actually read :

• Winners will be contacted upon draw and required to pay $47.70 plus $2.37 credit card processing fee to complete their winning entry.

I'm wondering if you won on a day you couldn't go if you just didn't complete the sale/entry, would you still get charged.....

 

[Number45]

If I win each day, I'll need a creative excuse to leave work like 90 mins early three straight days.

Well said. Love the whole process outside of the needless rigidity of the pickup.

I heard that a muling group is planning to picket Hill Farmstead this week, outraged at this format since it will prevent them from cornering the release and hooking up all members with a bottle.

A couple of the posts were post-edit.

Probably best to avoid then.

I've been confused from the start of this but I think you would just lose the $5.37 if you won and didn't complete the transaction.

Mules are smart people without jobs - they could figure this out. One of those things is correct...
