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.
On Wednesday, May 10th a limited number of will-call Group A tickets went on sale on the Three Floyds website. For these you would be required to e-mail a photocopy of your ID, which must match the name on the tickets and on the credit card used to purchase.

Group A tickets went on sale at the brewpub at 8:00 am on Saturday, April 29. The announcement was posted on Facebook/Twitter at midnight the night before.
This year there was a limit of 2 per person. Tickets sold out at 4:29 pm.
