Yes, all those hours spent reading my inane commentary has finally paid off!
Tickets to the Decatur Beer Festival on Saturday, October 15th go on sale at noon today and promise to sell-out in a matter of hours, if not minutes. HERE’S a direct link to purchase the $40 a piece tickets, which will go live in under two hours.
Good luck.

Update: Beer Fest site has crashed and the Ticket Alternative site is only allowing limited entry.
ordered! wooo!
Yes, I have been “refreshing” the site for ten minutes, only for Ticket Alternative to freeze
Everyone should use the direct link to Ticket Alternative above. Don’t go thru the Beer Fest site. I got mine after two reloads.
I was at the Ticket Alternative site already (not through the Beer Fest site) and it froze for a long time. After some error messages, I was finally able to get my tickets! Thanks, DM!
yeah, still stuck…
Successsssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Yessssssssssssssssssssss.
Success.
Got ‘em… Hoping our friends from TX get theirs since they already have airfare :-/
Got ‘em. You are a great public servant, DM.
No problems. Even had a friend in Europe successfully order theirs in the first 5 minutes.
Well FML. Completely forgot about it and by the time I get to an actual computer I can buy them from they’ll be sold out. Of course, this would be the day I can’t get hold of the woman as well. Bah!
If any DMers out there end up with an extra or were only planning to buy one and can get another, I’m your man to buy it! Forget about lost dogs, this would be a true community service done through this great website!
I’d also like to offer to purchase an extra from someone. Have a friend who was unsuccessful. Does anyone know if people sell extras outside of the gates the day of?
Apologies to Lyrics Only Guy, but…
I’ve got a golden ticket
I’ve got a golden chance to make my way
And with a golden ticket, it’s a golden day
If you’re on Ticket Alternative and waiting to get through, don’t refresh! I had mine bought by about 12:02
Uhg. 1:18 – sold out. Damn work getting in the way of my drinking…
Don’t worry, honey. The best wife on the planet has you covered.
Check CL early and often – i”m sure there will be extra sets for sale there.
I’ll be there!
There is a chance we will not be able to go – but bought on the off chance we can sneak away from the babe and the in laws for a few hours. If we end up not being able to go, I will sell for what I paid IF you get my husband a t-shirt from the festival. Would also like the glass, but understand if you don’t want to part with that.
If there’s one thing we don’t need in the new house it’s drinking glasses, commemorative or not! Nubbs, if you can’t go and part with them at cost, you will be my hero (heroine?). I’ll buy the whole family shirts!
The baby would like a beer festival onesie. I will email DM for your contact info should we end up not being able to go.
(and we don’t need the glass either – but my husband would like to add to the collection)
I know we are supposed to be anonymous and all, but I not only give the Wizard of DM permission to pass on my info, I will kick his booty if he doesn’t!
And I’m not sure they sell onesies, but I bet I could make one out of a small t-shirt!
Nubbs, send the physical tickets directly to me and I’ll make sure that J_T gets them!
Dude, don’t make me use my subpoena power on this. Because I G-D will!
What? Me?
If it makes you feel better, I would have totally trusted you to broker such precious tickets until that wink.
I am still hopeful that we can go – let me discuss with husband over the weekend and then we will let you know.
…and before I crush your dreams, it is doubtful we will be able to go.
Got mine!
Purchased through the Ticket Alternative site; had the toll free number dialed up while the site refreshed itself a couple times.
Have organizers cut back on the total amount of tickets being sold online this year? Saw above that the event sold out in just over an hour.
I gots mines!
I remember 5 and 6 years ago you could walk up and buy them the day of. I guess that’s what happens when the quality goes up every year. Hello unlimited Innis & Gunn!
Sooooooo, I bought a pair of tickets for my wife and I this afternoon, shortly before she also bought a set for us as well. Woops! We are happy to pass along the extra pair for the $87.00 total we paid.
Ummmmm, I will take em both if Nubbs finds out she and the hubby can indeed go! DM really needs to start a gray market Beer Festival ticket trading site!
Seriously, I so have first dibs on the first pair of tickets that anybody wants to sell without a ridiculous mark-up!
Ummm (wife-responsible-for-buying-extra-tickets-here), is there a way DM can allow you to have our email? I don’t want to put any mark-up on the tickets, we (I) just made an honest mistake and both bought them! They were $40 each, plus $3.50 each for the fees (I chose print at home), so that’s why the pair is $87.00
Are you still trying to get rid of your extra tickets? Willing to purchase?
