I love the idea of going with online tickets and breaking it into sessions. My biggest gripe with the farmer's markets has always been that it is an all day event between waking up early to get in line for tickets, finally getting said ticket, then finally having your number come up. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed perusing the other vendors at the FM, but usually they weren't open for the first hour you're there, and you can only walk around so much for 5 hours.

However, despite implementing a good idea with the tickets/sessions, the selection and limits are such that I'm not sure it is even worth it. The only beer I'm interested in at all is Triple Sunshine. Wish they had also done DS and/or Triple Play.

The tickets/sessions are pretty rigid too though. They didn't make this too easy for anyone heading up in a group.

I went to the Anniversary Beer Market last year, and had a great time (possibly because my SO and I were first and second in line, respectively). I was all set to just let this year's sale go by and not attend, but seeing that list today is making my neck itch...

EDIT: Also because gregkoko was there.

And just to clarify the tickets to the market are free, you just have to be lucky enough to get one.

should've made people buy tickets and donate the proceeds to charity...going to inevitably have a bunch of people not show up.

or 50 dollar non-refundable ticket price, 50 dollar credit toward beer on arrival

Well this is fun...anyone have any luck?

 

[BadJustin]

Nope. ******* neck beards.

I got an application error when I submitted my first order so I tried again and got the same thing. 30 minutes later I get two confirmation e-mails with tickets attached and now I gotta sweat they're going to cancel everything because of multiple orders.

I still can't get through, this is assinine.

One ticket out of the four of us....still holding out hope though I'm not sure why

because F5'ing is better than actually working is what I am going with.

At least this site isn't filled with a bunch of pseudo IT nerds.

Plan B: take the money we would have spent at Lawson's, get a car service to drive up to Parker Pie for HF tap takeover that night, sing karaoke, profit?

Im going up the following week (22nd- 24th/5th) so I don't really care if I get them or not, would have been nice but not going to really bitch if I don't have to make two trips up.

 

[Shakedwnst]

Finally made it. That was much harder than getting tickets to the party

 

[GreenMtnMike]

They said they're cancelling all dupes and honoring one for people like me who accidentally got multiples. I assume this will free up a lot of tickets shortly.

 

[BadJustin]

I've got a confirmation number. No email. Guess I should call.

It sounds like if you have a confirmation number you can go into your FreshTix account and request an email.

Color me a tad skeptical that the site was done in by "hackers and bots" as Freshtix claims.

The Nexternal excuse? lol

 

[Shakedwnst]

Have a group 1 ticket in my basket right now. Anyone need it?

 

[sp0]

Yes

 

[Shakedwnst]

Sorry, i tossed it. Looks like it's gone.

 

[Dooley]

So did anyone get a ticket?

 

[heffnate77]

No one's going...it's too crowded.

 

[BadJustin]

Yep, session 3. 1 and 2 were sold out by the time I got the site to load.

Same here. I am clearly buying you a beer for your clean bill of health!

Let's do it man! I will shoot you a PM when we firm up arrival times and what not.

3 other friends and I all got session 3 tickets as well. I even managed to get two tickets to the party, but now that only half of us can go and the "limited edition" beers are available at the market not sure what the attraction is.

How early is the line for session 3 going to start since he can't guarantee full allotments to everyone in that admittance?

I would guess lines 30 before entry time at the very least. I have no idea how big this joint is nor how many tickets were sold per session but I would think they kind of planned for everyone maxing out and maybe allocated enough for all sessions? Who knows.

 

[Shakedwnst]

From the fresh tix page: We have enough beer so that ALL additional bottle varities on our list will be available for purchase for all of Group 1 and Group 2 and most of Group 3, even if everyone buys the maximum limit.
