Good evening friends… PSA time (sorry in advance for the TLDR).
The plan right now is that tickets will go on sale tomorrow. We are using a new ticket vendor that should ensure that we don’t run into the same issues as last year if COVID creates some kind of chaos later in the year (sorry for that once again).
Ideally, we will be doing a type of test ticket that will only charge a small amount right away but will finish the charge once we have the warm and fuzzy that we know 100% that we are a GO. To make sure we are on the same page, your ”test ticket” is your intent to purchase and you WILL be charged when the time comes. We will make you aware before finalizing the charge.
Next, the ticketing levels will work a little differently than in years past. VIB will not have its own actual section this year. We are trying to not force 1/3 of our guests into a space smaller than 1/4 of the overall grounds. VIB will allow access to the festival 1 hour early. There will also be beers/meads that will be VIB only, similar to the past. Please keep in mind that we will only have 100 VIB tickets this year compared to the 200 in past years.
We are not sure if all of our normal vendors are going to want to attend, for health and safety reasons, but we are planning on increasing the stipend for each vendor so we will be bringing you the highest quality possible. We promise you will not be disappointed in the return of the 18th World of Beer Festival. Thank you again for having faith in us and we can’t wait until August 28th to see you all again.
Get your tickets here!
We’ll see you in August!
Cheers,
Jason
Chairman
