Love to attend Dark Lord Day. I reside in Atlanta, but Munster is my hometown. I’m a homebrewer and work in the industry. I share the passion like others for fine crafted beer. I’d love to recieve a golden ticket.

Just wondering if you will be doing the golden ticket again for DLD 2010? Thought it worked well last year and was just trying to get prepared for this year. Thanks for continuing to produce top notch craft beer.
thanks

Was looking to find out what they do for the golden tickets and what the purpose of the ticket is, does it get you in front of line or something, want to go to this but want to make sure I know what I’m doing, want to get the bottles of Dark Lord, thanks
by kevin
On January 28, 2010 at 7:16 pm
Wahoo Junction!
Send me notifications on tickets please.
Any chance guest taps will be more accessible and abundant in volume(kinda had to move from front of line to back of line all day to try 1 guest per hour last year)?

@ Bev:
Hampton Inn, on Calumet Avenue in Munster. Very close to the brewery–walking distance in fact, if you don’t have a lot to carry. Pretty cheap last year when we stayed. I’d book soon, as each year this seems to get bigger and bigger. Last year’s was the best yet though, in my opinion.
by Travis
On February 9, 2010 at 8:30 pm
Hampton Inn is all booked up for Sat. They only have about 5 rooms available for Fri.
by Geoff
On February 10, 2010 at 10:10 am
We are driving out from Philly on Thursday. Hammond has a few Hotels right off of 80/94 at the Kennedy Exit and there are plenty of hotels in Schererville near I65 and Rt30.

I just realized this brewery is just an hour from where I’ll be at in April. I gotta get down there for DLD! What time does the line start forming? I’ve been eager to get a few bottles of this and stash them away.

Anyone who doesn’t know about how the Golden Tickets are obtained should look at the 2009 thread.
by Brad Weaver
On February 10, 2010 at 11:25 pm
Can you post a link to the 2009 thread? I don’t see anything about it on here. Only a few posts from a 2009 thread but no mention of how to obtain the tickets. I’m assuming they’ll post when they’ll go on sale at like midnight, and it’s first come first serve.
by Diane Hancock
On February 11, 2010 at 7:19 am
How do I leave my email with you to have the opportunity to sign up for the Golden Tickets? We had a great time the last two years and really want an opportunity to join you again!

The older threads from past years are just a click away when you click ‘home’.

And what about what I’m sure is a lot of people who have twitter blocked at work?
by cubby_swans
On February 11, 2010 at 5:17 pm
WTF… So your fans/customers that can’t/won’t be logged on to twitter 24/7 for the next two months are going to get screwed on this, or what?
by admin
On February 11, 2010 at 5:47 pm
The twitter announcement will coincide with an announcement on this site, beeradvocate.com and ratebeer.com at almost the same time. There will be plenty of ways for people to get the information.
by cubby_swans
On February 11, 2010 at 8:49 pm
So then it’s not going to be an “exclusively” twitter thing, as the original posting says.

I hate twitter – A total contradiction – twitter – dark lord? – these are polar opposites.
by Travis
On February 11, 2010 at 10:09 pm
Twitter is blocked at my job too but if you google 3 floyds dark lord day twitter just click cached and you should be able to view it.
by cubby_swans
On February 11, 2010 at 10:23 pm
caching a page doesn’t let you view any updates on it. It only lets you see whatever you saved.
by Nick
On February 12, 2010 at 12:23 am
Relax, guys. It’s an unbending law of the nature that there will not be enough Dark Lord made to appease every single human who wants it–it’s inherent in a product of this caliber. Instead of perceiving every slight obstacle in the way of hearing about the tickets as something personal, see it as a challenge to “weed out” those who don’t care about the beer as much as the devoted fans who do. And of course no system they employ will be perfect, again because there is not enough DL to reach everyone. They’re doing the best they can, short of always making twice as much DL as the previous year. And I hope nobody expects that, because another law of nature states that if you start mass producing a special hand-crafted product, it will inevitably lose the quality that makes it special in the first place. Heck, Miller Lite once started out as a prized imperial stout back in the 1800’s!!! What the brewery has done, however, is make the festival itself bigger and better every year, which is something everyone can enjoy. I mean, shoulder your way up to a picnic table and enjoy some of the best beers in the world for free all in one place, and stop whining.

Well put Nick. I’ll just be patient and wait to see exactly how it will go with the Golden Tickets this year & hopefully be able to get mine once available.

I signed up for a twitter just for the golden tickets a couple weeks ago. You can make it so the only Twitter updates come from 3floyds to your cell. Not that hard. Just got my first update from 3foyds that the website was updated a half hour ago, and here I am.
by Bob
On March 3, 2010 at 12:33 pm
Will there be an oppurtunity to pre-register for Golden Ticket sales w/ emails this year so login is easier? Or will the sale be done completely differently this year?

I pledge to consume (that is drink for those who missed the 12th grade), a different kind of Three Floyds brew every day until I get the ulimate chance to enjoy what many Frothquoffers say is the only beer to tease and please the palate “Dark Lord”. Thank you 3F, may I have another!

by Trick Daddy
On March 10, 2010 at 5:47 am
Not sure if anyone saw this or not, but if you go to the FAQs the site tells you that Golden Tickets are released on March 17. So none of you need to stay on twitter 24/7 for the next month- just the 24 hours on that Wednesday.
Having that said, if I end up not being able to get tickets, I think someone should send me one of theirs for this little nugget of information.

In purchasing a Golden Ticket, does that guarantee you the right to buy Dark Lord from 11:00AM to 5Pm on April 24th?

@Dreadnaught. I will have a ticket for you for that info. Thanks!
by Tim
On March 12, 2010 at 11:15 pm
@Trick Daddy- I can’t seem to access that FAQ, but it might be left over from last year- St. Pat’s was the day they released tix last year!
by y2m10
On March 15, 2010 at 7:16 pm
So no hope for those of us that have no interest in signing up for a Twiiter account getting word on the Golden Ticket. That sucks a long one.

I appreciate the efforts that 3F is taking to ascertain that as many fans as possible get a taste of Dark Lord. However, I believe this year is going further in the wrong direction. In the past I got Dark Lord because I got to DDay early in the morning (sharing beer at 7 am was very cool). The most dedicated fans were rewarded with the precious bounty The crybabies who got there late didn’t deserve the limited release beer and went home empty handed. Then came Golden Tickets. It was more or less a game of cat and mouse to see who got tickets. It was irritating but tolerable because the money went to a good cause. Now we have to do the Twitter thing. More social networking and peek a boo simpleton games. Enough is enough. Let’s get back to the basics – the survival of the fittest and most dedicated. 3F should have considered that many of us fans would have to purchase tickets in the early morning from work. The problem is that social netwoking sites are automatically blocked by most employers for understandable reasons. Those of us who actually work for a living are to be penalized. I have been a huge fan of 3F for years and regularly drink 3F. I have carried their beers to well over ten countries and all over the USA to share the wonderful flavors with other beer fans. However, my commitment to 3F is diminishing with the advent of the BS affiliated with Dark Lord Day 2010. Say AMF to a long time follower fed up with these ridiculous social sites required for everyday life. Some of us beer fans already have lives. Any other beer fans who feel the same please speak up or forever lose your Dark Lord.

How much do they charge for a bottle of Dark Lord?
by admin
On March 15, 2010 at 10:15 pm
Perhaps we’re planning on doing it in such a way that won’t screw over the average working man who can’t access twitter at work. Have a bit of faith.
by chris
On March 16, 2010 at 1:43 am
Why don’t they (you) just make Dark Lord a year-round release? It seems like, and I’ve heard from brewers who know people who work at Three Floyds, that DLD is the biggest pain in the ass for the brewery. I’m seriously just wondering here, why the whole “Dark Lord Day” thing? Why not Dark Lord ETERNITY!?!?!
by Mark
On March 16, 2010 at 8:14 am
I’m having some trouble accessing this links on this page such as facts, golden tickets, ect. from my computer. When I scroll the cursor over them it doesn’t allow me to click on them, however when I’m viewing it from my phone it will let me hit the links. Is anyone else having this problem? My concern is that if the tickets are sold through this site, and if they go on sale while I’m at work and can’t use my phone, I’ll have to have the ol’ ball and chain order them for me, but she might not be able to if there’s no access to the link.
By the way I like the way 3 Floyds is doing this, it helps keep those who would just bulk buy the golden tickets and throw them on ebay to try and make a profit away. It ensures that loyal followers will have a better chance of buying the tickets directly from 3 Floyds, instead of through some scumbag who knocks the price up $100 a ticket when he puts them on ebay or craigslist.
by Optimus

how does the registration work when the golden tickets are released? Do we call with credit cards, paypal, reserve with a phone #? Anybody know how it works?

I was having the same problems with the links but that was using crappy internet explorer at work. When I pulled the page up at home on mozilla all of the links work fine. I would suspect that maybe my version (and yours) are older versions of IE and that maybe an update would help. In any case, mozilla, safari and google chrome should all work just fine.

Why can’t everyone just wait until the tweet comes out instead of speculating what may or may not happen? The tweet will have any information that’s needed.

Anyone willing to get me a bottle of DL for me??? I go to school at Indiana University and I won’t be able to make it down for DLD!
by Mike
On March 16, 2010 at 12:02 pm
I’m just trying to plan my day tomorrow…If I need to be near a computer to get tickets a x AM, I need to plan that. If they’re not going on sale tomorrow, that’s fine. But if I get an email at 8 am tomorrow that they’re on sale at 9 am, I’m gonna be frustrated. That’s all I’m saying.
by Frank
On March 16, 2010 at 1:42 pm
I hear Dark Lord this year is $65 per bottle, and the bottles will now only be 11.6 ounces. Also, instead of barbecue, there will only be deer jerky for sale, so be sure to bring something to eat if you are allergic. WOW – peoples is crazy. So much speculation on this site. My take on this is that the 3 Floyds jokers do as best a job that they can, and that they truly try to make DLD better every year. These dudes are masters at brewing, and they had to learn marketing, accounting, festival-planning, etc. along the way, and I think they’re doing a pretty good job. Is it going to be perfect? NO. Are they trying their best to balance fairness, line-cutting, charity, ticket scalpers, good times, etc.? YES. Cheers!

On March 16, 2010 at 4:00 pm
I’m gonna get s*rewed out of a golden ticket cuz they’ll go on sale at 12 am wednesday or 6 am like last year and i have no access to a computer til 10 am and i will have to hope theres xtra DL bottles for us unfortunate. Guess i can find a new favorite brewery.

What the $^#% I’ve waiting in the cold for like 4 hourz
I drank so much I almost wet my trousers…
Line from the brewery in longer then 100 anacondas
I sure wish I could make it disappear with a magic wanda
Boy ya cut in front of me I’ll slap ya like E Honda
Won’t think twice to make ya pay to price
Ya best grab some ice
To make it up to me a Drunk Monk could suffice
Now youz got a big old bruise,
That’s 10 shades of blacks and blues
Out my way on to the booze
No time to lose
How many will I choose…
Stand’n in line cause I gots to use the porta-potty
Would went around back but can’t shield my body
Man I wish I was back with the friends kick’n it like karate
Walking back to the homeys after going number two
Guaranteed to have some TP stuck to my shoe
Ain’t no bigger way to look like a foo
Well maybe if I walked into Floyd’s and ordered a Pabst Blue….
We be at Floyd’s Hold’n a ticket that is golden
Regardless of the weather best believe I ain’t fold’n
Soon I’ll be broker,
Where the $&%# is the turkey smoker
If it’s not coming soon I’m sending Al Roker with a super soaker…
Sippin Oak-Aged while chompin through a fry cone,
What a f’n awesome Saturday; man I’m in the zone,
Hollering at some honeys that I’d really like to phone,
Chance I get those digits is 10% max
Same as my buddies guessing the right color wax
If ya don’t believe me holmes just check the facts
Certainly it’s a skill that this amigo neva lacks…
Finally I gots the Darklords,
No greater thing I look toward
Until I have one that’s poured!
I wish I could afford
To buy every last one and hoard!

Rapid-fire late night zombie forum, let’s go! Anyone here bringing an “Abyss” imperial stout for sharing or trading purposes? I usually bring some pretty good beers and I’m dying to try that one, as I’m sure many others are. I guess I better just get there very early. I’ll be bringing some Batch 9000, Hopslam, Expedition Stout, Kentucky Breakfast Stout, Behemoth ‘09, and probably an ‘08 or ‘09 Dark Lord. If you have an extra Abyss you’re willing to trade or at least share, just look for me–I will try to jump up and down in place the entire time so I will be easily recognized.

We’ll be running a bus from downtown Chicago to Dark Lord Day again this year. If you’re interested, make sure you’re watching our email list, Facebook, Twitter (DrinksDearborn) etc. to get all the information. Golden Tickets or not, come down for the fun, leave before it gets “too fun.” (all Golden Ticket holders can trade 1 bottle Dark Lord for round-trip passage that day!)

If you buy tickets, then something tragic happens and you can’t make it (wife gets pregnant and is not going to a beer festival when she can’t drink her to-date favorite beer DL), are the tickets transferable to someone else?

Don’t risk DLD on something as mundane as pregnancy. Also, legend has it that if your child is conceived while drinking DL he will be born with x-ray vision and will play in the NFL by the his 14 birthday. Alternatively, he might come out riding a flaming chariot pulled by Hitlers favorite horses and grow up to take over the world. Either way you, the father, comes out pretty well. It’s a total win-win.

For anyone freaking out about the prospect of not getting a coveted ticket…my friends and I had tickets last year, got our bottles around noon, and hung around the brewery until mid afternoon when the line was done and 90% of the people had left and it started raining. At that point, they opened the doors to anyone with cash in hand to buy bottles. There were literally pallets upon pallets of Dark Lord cases still sitting there. We hit the ATM and loaded up. So if it’s anything like last year, they make plenty, and odds are you’re going to get bottles either way.

Aren’t you all speculating that this is even going to happen today. 3Floyds didn’t say they were going to release the tickets on St. Paddy’s day, they just said they’ll announce it on Twitter. Just because they did it this day last year doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll do the same this year.
by Brad Weaver

Never had Darklord but me & a buddy are going to drive up from New Orleans if I can get the golden tickets. I believe that will be about 940 miles or so. I have been checking the twitter constantly since 4AM as many of y’all have.

We are not speculating at all, 3F said they would be on sale today.

On March 17, 2010 at 9:06 am
Shawn they posted “Perhaps we’re planning on doing it in such a way that won’t screw over the average working man who can’t access twitter at work. Have a bit of faith.” awhile back. I figured that meant early morning hours, but apparently it means drinking hours? Oh my bad, I’m speculating again, I should just wait for the “tweet”.

?!?! What is going on?!?!? Nothing on twitter as of yet. Even if I get a tweet on my phone, it doesn’t mean I have access to buy tickets AT THAT EXACT MOMENT, and I don ‘t have all day to wait around. 3Floyds, you’re really bring a pain in the @ss with this ticket nonsense!

I have been one of the people who have tempered my expectations, put my faith in the fact that 3F will do this to the best way possible for their fans to get their tickets, etc… but this just sucks. Right when I get home from work I have to take off again and drive for 2hrs and won’t get home till like 10:00…so does that mean I get screwed now?? Can’t they simply just give us a time instead of having us wait with unknowing anticipation like a kid on Christmas eve?
by chris
On March 17, 2010 at 9:55 am
You guys have it all wrong… Three Floyds has set up a magical ticket-time-travel system. You just have to go to work, and then when you’re done, you can buy tickets. I get off @ 10:30, and they’ll be magically waiting for me.

I’m unemployed, so there IS NO “after work” for me! Am I not eligible to get tickets?! Do I have to show them PROOF that I WORKED today?!?? WHERE ARE THEY WHERE ARE THE TICKETS I DON’T SEE THEM where are theyWHERE ARE THEY? I HAVE TO PICK UP MY SON FROM BASEBALL THIS EVENING THERE IS NO INTERNET AT THE FIELDS wait i dont have a son…..

by Renae
On March 17, 2010 at 10:50 am
I hope the website infrastructure can handle a crap ton of people all trying to buy tickets at once. I believe one of the reasons they did the email last year, was so that people wouldn’t all hoard onto the site at once crashing it? With twitter, everyone that has an internet capable phone will be on the site immediately – this will be interesting.
You better believe if the announcement comes on my commute home, I’ll be pulling into a parking lot to buy the tickets from my Droid. I’m glad I upgraded my phone this year.
If they are going to go off of a 5pm COB time, people on the west coast are going to be upset again.
Is there really any good way to do this? Suggestion for 3Fs, months before DLD next year, get a committee of fans together to help you from all different time zones. Maybe if we put enough heads together from different locations, a reasonable solution can be found – where more people will be happy with the outcome. Staggering ticket sales throughout the days – for instance 3am-5am, 9am-11am, 1pm-3pm, 5pm-7pm and only sell a certain allotment each segment of the day. People could try at times that they would be available, and everyone would get a better chance. This way shift workers and normal 8-5ers would all have an equal chance of getting a ticket. Just a humble suggestion.

@Joe Isbell – the ‘golden ticket’ link didn’t go “down”. The web server was over taxed so it failed to your request at that particular time. All you had to do was refresh a few times and it worked fine. Chicken Littles all over the place keep screaming that the FFF server went down. I repeat, it did NOT go down.

On March 17, 2010 at 2:27 pm
@cubby_swans – sorry you see a huge difference between the choice of words i used “going down” and what you used “over taxed so it failed to load” –> same damn difference. The point is, i doubt their server will handle handle all of those simultaneous requests…
I want my golden ticket.
by BeerIsGood
On March 17, 2010 at 2:35 pm
“The point is, i doubt their server will handle handle all of those simultaneous requests… ”
Thats par for the course though.
All websites pretty much experience this for huge events…nothing new.
Just keep trying and hope you’re lucky. Don’t give up until the page says SOLD OUT.
If you don’t get a ticket, its faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from the end of the world as the event is still a kick ass time and theres always next year.
There is no reason to be getting on FFF for all their efforts.
You can just move on if you’re not down with their “not normal” efforts.
Or at the least, offer up constructive criticism instead of most of the idiotic immature posts I’ve seen here.
by cubby_swans
On March 17, 2010 at 2:43 pm
No, it won’t handle all of the simultaneous requests. Just hit your stupid refresh button a few times. But the server won’t be down.

The online sale last night was a clusterf*ck. Three Floyds and the folks at Shopify really dropped the ball. First there was the crash, then after the site was back up, it wouldn’t process my order because it said my street address did not match my postal code. This is B.S.! I checked and double-checked my address half a dozen times. The address, zip, state – everything – was entered correctly, and I kept getting the same error. I got screwed out of getting my tickets, and I am sure mine isn’t the only story like this you’ll hear in the coming month. I’m pissed!

I was stuck at this for 2 hours and then when I refreshed the page it said tickets were sold out. I feel extremely frustrated that shopify had so much trouble with the bandwidth and someone who put his order in at 7:15 was not able to get tickets.
by Renae

Sack – it was 4 bottles per ticket last year. And there weren’t golden ticket the year before, but it was 6 per person I believe.

So what the hell is going to happen “if” the heavens part and drop the first ingredient of beer upon our heads? FloydStock. Who is going to be the first to dive in a mud puddle?

I can slide on mud with the best of them, i;d rather see the girls though. I called Liz at three Floyds and she said four per ticket. But what do i know. See you guys there!

So, it’s looking like the weather isn’t gonna cooperate…that being said, does anyone know what they have planned in case it pours (rain, not beer)?

Unless you have rain gear, you’re getting wet. But i did read the online forecast and it shouldn’t rain till later in the day. Keep your fingers crossed!

Just arrived back in Nebraska after our first Dark Lord Day. Wow, what a turnout!! It was great meeting people and the cool group from Ohio. Wish we could have stayed the whole day but got to enjoy the festivities for a few hours. See everyone next year.
