Dark Lord Day Tickets Go On Sale Saturday

In order to accommodate the certain crush of folks looking for tickets to Dark Lord Day 2011 (and since tickets are now required to attend the festival, the crush will be even greater), the folks at Three Floyds have announced some updates to when the ticket sales will happen.

Tickets will go on sale this Saturday and Three Floyds is using a ticket broker to handle the sales. The brewery's servers crashed due to the demand for tickets last year, so this should be a welcome improvement. The link to the sales site will be posted on Three Floyds' blog, facebook page and Twitter feeds. For those of you thinking you're going to sneak in or hang around the outside of the brewery grounds, Munster police are enforcing a strict "no loitering" policy.

The ticket limit is two per person and guarantees ticketholders their full allotment of Dark Lord (as of now, that allotment is unknown). There will be three separate times during the day for bottle sales to ensure no one is waiting four hours to buy the highly sought-after Russian Imperial Stout. Start refreshing your browsers now.
