Decatur Beer Festival Tickets Go On Sale Next Monday
Decatur Metro | September 10, 2013
As tickets now sell out in less than 30 minutes, here is your heads up that Decatur Beer Fest tickets go out sale next Monday, Sept. 16th at noon. Tickets are $40 a pop and only 4,000 will be sold.
All tickets are sold via Ticket Alternative.
Please take this notification down immediately.
Since it’s CSD fall break, everyone is out of town. So only you and I have seen it.
Agreed. I think it is a misprint, they go on sale on 9/17
I’ve already got my tickets. People who wait til the day they officially go on sale are suckers.
How did you get them early? I am new to the area. Fill me in!
We won them with a basket of assorted beer goodies at the DeKalb History Center silent auction event a few months ago
As much as I hate to say it, I may let it slide this year. I finally realized that this festival, for me, has lost its function. There’s nothing there that I haven’t already discovered.
However, it’s always a good vibe…maybe I’ll give it one last gasp…
Gasp or glug?
Agree. After going to the very first beer fest through the next, uh, well let’s just say lots of them, I skipped a couple years then went back last year hoping there would be a batch of new ones I hadn’t tried, but wasn’t the case. Too bad the distributors can’t get their act together and bring in new beers. Was just in Asheville last month and there are soooo many good craft brews there that we can’t get here.
Last year there were about 20 or so folks outside the festival gates, trying to unload the extra tickets they bought, for face value or less……..seems like there was a glut of them on Craigs List in the weeks prior (‘uh, really, I wasn’t planning on making a profit, just bought 4 and couldn’t use them all’ –said all 20 of the people outside, including me)
I planned to sit out the Beerfest for the first time last year, opting to sit at the Brick Store instead.
Around noon I ended up buying a ticket at half price from one of the scalpers.
I only stayed for a couple hours, but the beer DID taste better at half price and without the stress of the starting gun
