This will be my 20th year in a row at GABF. Back in the day, I’d volunteer on the setup crew, putting together taps, and got free tickets, but I have since moved from Colorado. I have my plane tickets, but not my GABF :( I missed out on the presale since the tickets sold out in 20 min. If someone has reasonably priced tickets, I’d be happy to buy them. I’m looking for up to 4 tickets (wife, buddy, his wife, and me). I just don’t want to encourage the CL scalpers, trying to ass rape folks. If you can help me out, please call. My Cell is 623-221-8000.
So, what’s your point, Hot Carl? I am in legitimate need of tickets to use. I have 19 years of experience at GABF. I’m not a home brewer, but I became a member SOLELY to purchase the Saturday Day session, since that is the only one that provides a real glass. I have a collection of all the years. Hell, in 2000, I was in Munich, Germany at Oktoberfest, and made sure to be back in Denver in time for GABF. If you can help, great, if not, I respectfully request that you not troll me.
It’s not a sob story, but totally legit. Do you even go to GABF? I see you live in Hawaii. I used to live there too. I taught Scuba out of the Embassy Suites in Maui. I remember it being a PITA to get good beer there, so I can understand your need to make your own. Am I posting in the wrong place? All I am looking for is a way to go to the GABF, get my glass, drink my share of good beer, and go back home. It sucks that your post count is the most precious thing in your life, but whatever.
Dear Other members,
If you can help me with Saturday Day session tickets, please feel free to contact me.
Just a bit of friendly advice for you when you post on message boards. Use the PM feature for direct contact. By posting your phone number you’ve opened the door to every spammer and direct marketer in the world.
Using just your phone number and 15 seconds on google I can tell you an awful lot about you. Same goes for the guy in another thread who posted his email address.
Good luck on your ticket search. My understanding is members only ticket are like gold. I certainly hope you collection of glasses makes you feel all warm and fuzzy. Prost!
Before you jump my back for offering helpful advice: I am an AHA member, an all grain brewer, a regular contributer to this and other beer forums and do not plan on attending GABF.
Ya know, calling him “Hot Carl” is not doing you any favors. One of my good friends has two Sat member’s session tickets and now can’t go. I saw your post needing tickets, but decided not to pass your info to him for the tickets.
This time of year there is a rush of people that post on this board that need or sell tickets and it’s their one and only post. I think what Carl is getting at is that everyone on here is happy to help others out, but will put those who contribute to this forum well above those “flybys” who just come on here looking for tickets. I wish you luck in finding the tickets you need.
How wonderful for you that you taught SCUBA in Maui. Do you think that makes it OK to come into this forum and insult Association members?
You do your annual last minute drive-by plea for GABF tickets. This year you decide to add the caveat that you want members only tickets, but not if the price is to allow an Association member to sodomize you. I don’t know if you were serious, joking, or trying to be clever. In any case I find it highly offensive. Who is the troll?
