T,

Let's put it this way. I had 4 computers going, coming off 4 unique IP addresses and banging on refresh starting 5 minutes before. I got lucky and got 2 sets, so 4 tickets.
Pretty much if you weren't in the checkout queue in the first 4 minutes, you were done.

Dear eight pound, six ounce newborn baby jesus, please let me get tickets to this year's event!
I wish you luck my friend, that's a "nectar" I've always wanted to try!

Dark Lord has been around since 2004 I believe.

Well I will be online Mikey and if I get any tickets they are going to you my friend that was a great auction for Cmac!

@nick this is a very hard to get beer from 3 floyds brewery. For the HTF beer chaser it is the white elephant. And thanks to an auction by Mike I finally get to try some.

That translates into a very sweet, but balanced by hop bitterness and high roasted malt bitterness.

If you think Dark Lord Day is crazy, just wait till Westvleteren 12 is up for sale in the next few months. I hear only 70,000 six packs are coming to the US. I really want to try some but I'm not paying $100 for it either!

They haven't announced ticket sales yet. But last year, it was right around St. Pat's day at noon I believe, all on-line through a small'ish ticket broker type place. (i.e. not Ticketmaster).

I've tried to get tickets for this event for a couple of years now and its tough. Then after the tickets are gone, they're selling them on the secondary market for crazy amounts. I'll try again as well, if someone can keep us updated on when these go up. It'll be like trying to get the monsters from NHC lol. Don't know if I'll be off the diet by then but I"d be in for the event. The hotels that are local also sell out really quickly so if you're planning on making it a trip, make sure to check those out as well. G1
