Session 99 Craft Beer Festival - June 23

Post by GregClow »

Tickets for this year's edition of the Session 99 festival have been on sale for a few weeks now, and are apparently selling fast.

The website - http://www.sessiontoronto.ca/ - has the full details, but here are a few quick points:

- Takes place on Saturday June 23rd at the end of Ontario Craft Beer Week at 99 Sudbury St.
- Two sessions this year: 1-4 PM and 6-9 PM
- $40 (+ tax) advance/$50 at the door is all-inclusive - i.e. no sampling tickets, full and open access to over 100 different beers and food from an assortment of vendors

Check the website for more.

The new format will be awesome. No more finding an unspent ticket or two in your pocket after the event.
I don't always drink beer ... because sometimes my friends win and we have to go to macro-only establishments.

It sounds awesome - I hope they have dump buckets and lots of water stations like at Cask Days.

Are tickets being mailed, or was there somewhere we needed to click to print them once we purchased them online?

So Toronto FC bumped up Saturdays match to 5:30pm.... FOR SALE: 2x TFC tickets. $30 each, in the loud and fun supporters section (south stands). Would be a fun time for those of you going to the early session as BMO is walking distance from the beerfest.

OR

3x Session 2 (6-9pm) beer fest tix. $40 each.

Please email me as I don't check this site too often

Did people get a confirmation of their Session tickets? I got a paypal receipt but no actual tickets so far. I emailed Jeb but haven't got a reply yet and I am getting antsy.
