BourbonJoe Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Does anyone know when the "Sampler" tickets will be available? Thanks, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8erdane Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Just ordered mine online at the KBF site. You can go to the KBF site from the link on SB.com homepage, select Events and click on the link under Bardstown Civil War Sampler to order online. They take Visa and MC.BTW, price this year is $30 a ticket, but that's still a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProofPositive Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hi Joe, I know you asked if I would be there....but, I still have not taken the time to check into getting more info on the date(s) and tickets. Does anyone recommend a hotel/motel or two where to stay? I assume all info is available somewhere here in the Forum homepage(?). I would really love to come! I am sure that I would not know how to act around all of the experts, affectionados, and wealth of knowledge that will be present including yourself. However, I do know for sure the experience & learning that I would glean from attending would be worth 100X the cost of the trip & ticket.

Wayne, all I can say is just be yourself. The great thing about this group is that there is no pretention here. Jeff added a link to the General Nelson, home of the infamous Gazebo, and pretty much SB Central. Hopefully we will be able to secure the trolley again this year which picked us up at the GN parking lot last year. While not all guests at the hotel are SB.com, you'll probably be able to pick us out more easily as SB.com wear, tshirts, hoodies and such is much more common. Many of us have extended the one night sampler into a two night affair starting on Friday night as well. Hopefully you can make it at least for the Sampler on Saturday night and if so I look forward to meeting you and any other new members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProofPositive Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Dane, Thanks very much for your kind invitation as well as the info. At this point in time unless something upsets my plans, I will be there. I cannot think of anything in 2006 right now that I am looking forward to more than this gathering. By that time, I'll plan to have a SB.com tshirt or hoodie as well. Thanks again Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarItemsPlus1 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 G'day people Is it possible to purchase tickets to the sampler a few days before the event?? And is there a limit on tickets?? I have still yet to plan my trip, I'm pretty good at leaving things to the last minute....lol, but if I can get there for the sampler I would very much like to meet and greet and with all SB.com'ers attending the event. Cheers Regards, Troy. P.S. Any chance someone would like to make an Aussie Flag Graemlin?? go on - maybe some other flags too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8erdane Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 In years past you could buy tickets at the event, but they have always contended that there is a limit to the number of tickets. As the event keeps getting bigger every year (no doubt due to the influx of our growing community) I would think that it's better to be safe than sorry, especially if you're coming halfway around the world. Of course, if a person weren't able to procure tickets at the door, there are other things a person could do in Bardstown prior to the after-Sampler Gazebo....

BarItemsPlus1 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 after-Sampler Gazebo.... I am gathering a few goodies....that if I am able to get there I will be bringing along a few of these to put on the table.... I hope that I see you all there Cheers! Troy, Bar Items Plus, Australia.

bobbyc Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I have been told that due to unexpected heavy ticket sales the Venue for the Sampler will be changed from the Civil War Museum this year. If I understand correctly it will be held out by the Bluegrass Parkway by the Days Inn at a place that was known as "Hillbilly Heaven". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNbourbon Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Ordered my ticket online today (funny thing, but the Festival website would not respond to my Opera browser -- which has Java, Flash, et al installed -- yet worked immediately with Firefox. Will investigate further...).Thanks for the reminder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8erdane Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 How sad, the museum really got a boost from the Sampler with all the extra traffic and subsequent donations. I must remember to drop by there anyway over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgonano Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Haven't seen my tickets, Mike. Don't worry, I forgot my tickets last year. When I arrived in Bardstown I stopped by the Office in the circle and picked up replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hookfinger Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 You're lucky. If you tried to register online they said there were none available. Opted for down the street. Hope I don't have to walk to far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
