As an AHA member, am I allowed to buy tickets for family / friends who are non members? Is there a limit on ticket sales to an individual?
Is there a total limit on tickets sold?
The last time we attended, it was shoulder-to-shoulder at times in the convention center. I was literally swimming through a sea of people. It was not fun. We thought that there must have been counterfeit tickets produced, as the place was so crowded.
I have hotel rooms and a car reserved, but not certain if we will attend this year.
Went all three days. Thursday was the best day, as it was not crowded at all. In 2007 the crowds were such that it made the experience not fun. It was not comfortable at all. Like being in a subway car in Tokyo.
It was our understanding that a strict limit was placed on ticket sales in order to prevent too many people being there.
So, are we limited on the number of tickets? Can I purchase 8 tickets, for family members, including my wife? I am the only AHA member.
In years past, the event was open early in the day on Thursday-Friday. Now it does not open until late afternoon, 5pm.
My best memories of GABF were from Thursday nights, the least crowded session. Friday nights all the brewers are out and about in LODO and the locals are at the convention center. Saturday most of the booths run out of their best beers.
We have started several really memorable vacations with a trip to GABF on Thursday and then driving north or west or south.
The email that was sent out yesterday pretty much sums up all the rules. Did you get that?
I only knew about the first email from this thread. I re-saved my AHA emails after I read this and got the pre-sale emails this week. Not sure what happened but seeing what happened yesterday with the sale it seems the BA has some technical problems.
