I'm confused, a ticket is $15 and then you have to pay for beer on top of that? What exactly does the $15 entry get you? Just entry?

Mondiale in montreal has free admission.. and features world class beers..

They have always done it this way. I don't have a problem with some fee, but it would be nice to get a glass with that $15. I think the winter one was around the same price but with a glass?

What I don't like is how they have the one day pass as a completely open-ended ticket. You can show up any one day. No way they can control for crowds that way. I'm going tomorrow evening, expecting the worst.

This is the same gang that did the winter one at Landsdown AND the festibiere, right? Both were fun, although the beer at Landsdown in Feb wasn't anything to write home about.
