• 1 bottle of a rare Dark Lord variant or 2 bottles of vintage Dark Lord
• You will receive a commemorative tote bag with your allotment.

This notice was added to the ticket sales site the day before tickets went on sale:

A variant will not be guaranteed. It will be a variant or 2 vintage bottles of Dark Lord beer.

Tickets were again sold through etix.com.

Tickets went sale on Saturday March 18, 2017. At noon Central time. After a few minutes the site appeared to crash for many people. Slowly the site became available for more and more people and they were able to complete checkout. While the site would often report that no tickets were available, tickets did not completely sell out for several hours, with some people able to purchase Group E tickets after 5:00pm.
