pretty sure i saw somewhere they were $40 and the vip tickets were $75. the inflation rates on these tickets sure are getting kinda ridiculous.

3/18/2008 6:20:26 PM

$5 more than last year isnt too much to bitch about

especially considering that almost everything has gone up in price in the past year

3/18/2008 6:49:57 PM

Meh $40 is fine, it's all about supply and demand. I think that price is fine as it's still low enough where it's affordable, but high enough that it will keep a bunch of the idiot crowd out. If it gets up to $50 next year I might have to rethink going.

Who am I kidding, it's beer, I love beer.

3/18/2008 7:33:06 PM

I refuse to go for $50. purely based on the fact that I've gone for $25 only a short time ago.

3/18/2008 8:28:33 PM

yea. $25 was the key.

its like it just doubled in 1 year

3/18/2008 8:39:15 PM

On sale tomorrow for the general public. Does anyone have the All About Beer magazine subscription that would like to share the presale password?

3/25/2008 12:45:11 PM

yeah. i had no clue about the presale password.
no biggie

3/25/2008 12:46:12 PM

Just bought my VIP tix.

3/26/2008 11:20:06 AM

got mine!

3/26/2008 11:28:20 AM

seriously, there is nothing that much better about being a VIP

especially for $75

3/26/2008 11:43:11 AM

You are not allowed to speak to me unless you are another VIP.

3/26/2008 11:44:17 AM

got mines...second session this time

3/26/2008 11:47:05 AM

the raleigh version sucks

3/26/2008 11:47:42 AM

not so much. the fact that its 30 mins. closer is why i like it better

3/26/2008 12:18:02 PM

bought 20 tickets to the night time event. i'm stoked fuck VIP - it isn't worth another $35 to use a clean portapotty.

3/26/2008 1:37:39 PM

both sessions say unavailable at the moment

it cant be sold out already, right?





[Edited on March 26, 2008 at 1:46 PM. Reason : ]

3/26/2008 1:45:18 PM

so second session is the way to go?

3/26/2008 1:45:37 PM

^^ When I went to buy my tickets in person at 12:45, I bought the last evening session ones the place had.

3/26/2008 1:47:34 PM

i mean im not too worried about it, i got mine already

but to sell out this fast is

3/26/2008 1:48:46 PM

that doesnt mean much

there are thousands more tickets available online than there would be at any single location

there is no way its sold out

3/26/2008 1:49:21 PM

I'm guessing people figured out how much they can be scalped for and bought as many as they could the second they could. They very well could be sold out.

3/26/2008 1:50:08 PM

You can buy them for first session, but not second, so the ticket system is obviously up and running...

3/26/2008 1:50:54 PM

That's weird. It will let me add 1 ticket to my cart but not 2.

3/26/2008 1:51:42 PM

i think the site is just fucked up

both sessions are now for sale again

3/26/2008 1:52:17 PM

... and there it goes.

3/26/2008 1:53:55 PM

I couldnt buy any from the website just now. Very frustrating.

3/26/2008 2:36:02 PM

i was finally just able to get one

i think their website and etix are just messed up right now

as soon as i got mine i went back to get another and it said both sessions were unavailable

my suggestion is to just keep trying

3/26/2008 2:37:19 PM

I got my two tickets for the afternoon session!

3/26/2008 2:42:15 PM

i just plan on going there and scalping some. not too concerned bout getting in, ive been to enough that if i dont go, no biggie. im sure to find a ticket for less than $30

3/26/2008 2:43:51 PM

they said that all of the tickets are already gone?! WTF? Didn't they go on sale today at Noon?!

[Edited on March 26, 2008 at 6:25 PM. Reason : i emailed them]

3/26/2008 6:22:49 PM

i don't believe that they are sold out at all

[Edited on March 26, 2008 at 6:37 PM. Reason : that]

3/26/2008 6:37:28 PM

stuff white people like

3/26/2008 6:39:46 PM

yeah, if i remember, ive never seen a sellout in like a couple of hours.

3/26/2008 7:59:37 PM

If you search etix for them instead of using the direct link from the wbfraleigh site it says sold out instead of unavailable.

3/26/2008 9:29:03 PM

supposedly it is a sell out

thats a big wow

3/26/2008 9:54:07 PM

i just came back from sawmill and they still had a stack there

3/26/2008 10:01:35 PM

i just find it hard to believe. I mean they raise the price 25% and they are sold out in 7 hours??? Last year it took several weeks.

3/27/2008 8:29:48 AM

Glad i bought 20 tickets

The guy at the Draft House was shocked when I ordered them. He was like, "you know that's going to cost $800, right?". Me - "No problem."

I win.

I grabbed four from the saucer at around 8:30 last night. Guy didn't mention anything about there not being many left & I didn't ask.

3/27/2008 8:54:12 AM

GF got the last four from Harrisons yesterday at lunch

3/27/2008 8:55:05 AM

they went on sale yesterday at lunch.

3/27/2008 9:07:42 AM

^and they were sold out when I called at 6pm yesterday.

3/27/2008 9:19:27 AM

insane.

no kidding.

dont worry though. since its in raleigh, just walk over to the festival and you'll probably find a ticket for like $30.

3/27/2008 10:34:40 AM

i assume the durham one has more capacity than the raleigh one correct??

i wonder if they would consider moving this one to a larger space in the future (perhaps that place at the end of fayetteville street?...im not sure if its bigger than the current area or not) to make more money

but i suppose the appeal is to have it in the downtown area

[Edited on March 27, 2008 at 3:47 PM. Reason : ]

3/27/2008 3:47:18 PM

they have a bunch of 12-4 tix at Sawmill Tap Room and 400 (both sessions) at American Brewmaster

3/28/2008 1:07:06 AM

Hey all, I am looking for one or two tickets to the afternoon session (12-4). I went last week to American Brewmaster, but they had sold out in record time. Please contact me with an offer.
