So much of this is what I can't stand about festivals...high ticket prices (it costs more to guarantee entry, the basic ticket is subject to capacity!), only token sampling, no kids allowed, no re-entry, etc. etc. I sometimes wonder how these kind of events survive, but I guess there's still a market for this. Got to wonder why the breweries do it as I can't imagine it is really that great of an experience.

This was a great festival but they have changed it a lot this year. They have implemented shorter sessions and the non guaranteed entry thing is insane. Until this year it was a long festival from 1pm-10pm. I loved it because you could take your time, space out your drinking and make the most of your sampling. I understand it's not the most economically viable option but it was one of the draws for me. Sample prices were fair too. Oh well.

If it's the same one that I remember seeing the sheer chaos of the Friday night on social media and decided to sell my Saturday night tickets rather than go!
