Date: April 28, 2012

Overview

Dark Lord Day 2012 was held on Saturday, April 28th. The attendance and festival layout was largely unchanged from 2011. Lawn chairs and full size coolers were no longer allowed inside the festival gates, this helped alleviate crowding. As with 2011, barrel aged Dark Lord variants were only available inside the brewpub.

While the Group A sales went smoothly, by Group C the lines were no longer orderly and crowded inside the gates. The time in line was significantly longer for the later groups.

Number of tickets sold: ~6,000

This was the first year ticket sales saw an increase from $10 to $15. Tickets went on sale on Saturday March 17th at 12:00 noon Central time. They sold out in minutes. A notable change in language mentioned that a portion of the ticket price would go to local charities, when in the past it sounded as if all proceeds from ticket sales went to local charities.


Ticket details announcements form Three Floyds:

We are happy to finally publish the link for ticket sales. They will go on sale March 17th at Noon (which is Central Time). $15 per ticket. Two tickets per person. We are continuing the three different group sales like last year because they worked so well for getting people through the lines quickly and efficiently.
