Dark Lord Day Set To Roll Out Their Wonka Tickets

By Chuck Sudo in Food on Mar 8, 2010 7:20PM

We're less than two months away from the insanity that is Three Floyds' Dark Lord Day. The implementation of "golden tickets" was a wonderful idea to ensure those who wanted to purchase the hotly anticipated Russian Imperial Stout actually could, while raising money for the Chicago Anti-Cruelty Society in the process. While some golden ticket holders still took to Craigslist and ebay to sell extras, the combination of the tickets and bad weather made last year's version of DLD manageable and much more enjoyable.

Golden tickets will be going on sale shortly. This year, Three Floyds will announce the sale on their twitter feed first, followed by posts on the Beer Advocate and Rate Beer message boards. The Floyds have been understandably cagey on just when the tickets will go on sale, but Drinks Over Dearborn has indicated on their twitter feed that the sale will commence at a to-be-announced time on the 17th.
