    Nice post. I’m hopeful for a similar Sydney deal

    Is it not selling well?

    • +3

      It's been very poorly organized in recent years, and crazy expensive. There's events all week all pubs and breweries which are a far better experience.

    Went last year, did not like it.
    - You drink beer in a massive hangar when it was a nice day out, not much room to go outside, only the tarmac with loos.
    - Most beers are on a very hoppy side of the spectrum, which is not my thing.
    - There are no free beers with the ticket, only plastic beer tasting glass which is cool for camping. Live music was ok.

      Pretty much this. I didn't find much difference in variety compared to my local brewpub

    • +1

      Agreed. Too many people and not enough space or fresh air. Would be better outdoors.

      Last years’s venue at the racecourse was definitely the worst of the last few years. The bathroom situation alone was awful.

      However this year it’s in MCEC, which is a much better location. But yeah no free beers, so it’s an expensive day out, hence the free tickets. The discount booklet they gave out at the venue last year though, I used quite a few of the coupons. Probably saved $80ish over time with it.

      Tickets were going cheap for ages on Promotix / On the House, but I guess even that wasn’t enough.

  • Appreciate the post OP, going down for that weekend and only just realised it was on and now thanks to you I will be ticking off a bucket list item

  • I was gonna get one but then reminded myself that I'm a hermit

  • Anything for Sydney?

  • Looks like Comp 2 and Comp 3 are full exhausted. No option to select a number of tickets.

  • If there are no free drinks, is there anything that comes free with this ticket (besides the free festival glass)?

  • -2

    Free to go and buy overpriced, overrated beers. As they say, nothing comes for free.

    Went to one of the 1st GABS when it was at Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton.
    Found it way overpriced to pay for entry and then it was quite expensive for the samples of beer.
    And food prices were even worse.

    Decided to volunteer a few years later.
    Much better experience as you got to sample the beers you were pouring, got a food voucher to use on a break, and got free entry to another session, and a free volunteer t-shirt.

    Now, back to just attending.
    Yes, while entry is free, you are not forced to buy anything.
    There should be some free samples around but not much.
    Free samples are a curse.
    I went to the Food & Wine Show Christmas market on a cheap ticket and ended up spending well over $500 on products.

    TL:DR- You're not forced to buy anything with your free ticket but there will be quite a few unique beer offerings that have been created for the event as one-offs. Just set a budget and stick to it.
