    Most folks collect tickets, though you may have some exceptions. Extra tickets are just a buck apiece, though.

    so does one pour=one ticket? Im assuming each pour has a specific tix value (i.e. BA Abraxas=3tix) Is this correct?

    Incorrect, it is 1 ticket per beer sample. No inflation

    May I ask where this list came from? The list seems very Illinois heavy and a couple of the out-of-state big boys are missing. Central Waters, Dark Horse, Surly, to name a few. (Unless I'm blind.) I can't help but wonder if this is a listing of all ICBG members or something...

    I'm skeptical of the list as well.

    This definitely hasn't been my experience in years past. I haven't been to one FoBAB event where I've had to use all my tix. In fact, I've actually gotten more tix from people giving me xtra and toward the end of the night I couldn't even give them away cuz people were so tanked. However, this is just from my personal experience(s) and I'm sure it varies from person to person. Great times are had either way.

    Came from an email invitation that the FOBAB organizers sent to all the brewers for the Thursday pre FOBAB dinner. Email was sent 2 weeks ago. Registration closes today, so I suppose more could have registered between then and now.

    I'm not sure how the fact that some folks have gotten hammered and given you tickets has anything to do with my noting that extra tickets are for sale for $1 apiece. But yes, one may luck into extra tickets.

    They always say you can buy more, but the last 2 years a ran out, and none of the workers could tell me where or how to buy more.

    I have also heard about them selling extra tickets for $1 each, but have never seen where they sell them.

    Interesting, because I was hoping to buy extras

    Last year was my 1st year attending and (so, I can only speak for my 1 experience) there was definitely some people taking tickets and others not...kind of hit/miss. But come the end of the session, I still had a number of tickets as did everyone else in my group.

    So, while i understand the inquiry about running out of tickets & getting more, I wouldn't overthink it too much.

    Cheers

    I bought extra tickets three years ago, but that was the last time I tried.

    I could of sworn it was 15 last year and 16 the year prior. Maybe I had a case of drunken amnesia.
