Got mine! 12-4 session

9/27/2010 3:15:38 PM

whats so good about walking around drinking beer in the heat all day only to be robbed when you leave the venue?

9/27/2010 3:58:06 PM

$45 is ridiculously expensive

9/27/2010 4:21:19 PM

I think $45 is pretty reasonable for the chance to try so many different beers (including some that you can't get locally).

9/27/2010 4:31:30 PM

considering the price of admission was half of that just 5 years ago, not really

9/27/2010 4:34:00 PM

^ exactly

to really get your money's worth, you'd have to have like one swallow of each beer, and even taking my time i'd be hammered 2 hours in. can't really justify spending the money if i don't even remember the beers i'm drinking

I thought it was a steal 5 years ago.

The good new is that you can vote with your wallet and not buy a ticket. It will still sell out though.

9/27/2010 4:37:23 PM

oh i haven't been since the last year it was $25, and don't plan to. really can't understand what caused such a sharp spike in price. i understand costs increasing, but almost a 100% increase is pretty unacceptable. plenty of alkys still pay it i guess

9/27/2010 4:47:04 PM

if it still sells out, how can you not understand the growth in ticket price

9/27/2010 4:51:44 PM

iirc, it jumped $20 totally out of the blue from one year to the next. usually price gauging happens a little slower than that. doesn't really matter i don't guess

9/27/2010 4:53:54 PM

Nah it went up like 5 bucks a year.

9/27/2010 5:12:36 PM

i dont get all the bitching about the price...they could sell tickets for $60 and they'd still sell out.

it's called supply and demand.

9/27/2010 5:34:37 PM

i'm not saying people aren't gonna go (obviously), but for me personally, it's an unreasonable price. that's it

9/27/2010 5:50:34 PM

We got tix. 12-4 session! We may walk to avoid DUIs on the bicycles.

9/28/2010 11:33:37 PM

there might be a ps sighting at the evening session.

gotta keep the streak alive, even at 1000+ miles away

freaking a i am going to miss this yet again

9/29/2010 12:00:50 AM

I went to the durham beer festival back when it cost 25 bucks. It rained really hard that year but it was a lot of fun.

9/30/2010 11:45:46 AM

We were supposed to go to an Oktoberfest in Hickory (yeah that's right), but forgot about an early Sunday comittment in Kinston...

But an afternoon session of this could be in order...hmmmm
I've always been busy these weekends, and if prices are going up each time like you guys say this may be the first and last time I'd be able to go (unless I won the lotto and/or received a raise)

Must ponder quickly...

9/30/2010 2:10:24 PM

NCSU Football > Overpriced beer festival

9/30/2010 2:16:18 PM

Why choose? I'll be attending both.

NCSU Football 8AM-4PM

Beerfest 6-10PM

9/30/2010 4:08:10 PM

ha, well played.

I'm too old to roll like that.

9/30/2010 8:41:54 PM

bttt, tickets still available. maybe this one won't sell out...

10/6/2010 9:46:02 AM

Wont be able to make it this year due to a thing I got going on that Saturday.


I am stuck with 4 tickets.... selling in classifieds for less than face value

10/6/2010 10:48:53 AM

I'm too glad I bought tix a while ago...I have a great excuse to avoid my boss and her super-awkward parties on Saturday. The timing was only too perfect on this one.
