Brewers Association still under contract with Ticketmaster for GABF sales through 2014
The BA is under contract with Ticketmaster for GABF sales through 2014. Asked about whether this latest disappointment gives the BA any standing to get out of this relationship, Fusco said she was not sure, but “at this juncture, we will be considering all suggestions and reviewing all the options available to us.”

If BA doesn’t get out of their contract with TM, I won’t be attending GABF 2014. Not doing that out of protest because I’m sure BA doesn’t care. They’ll sell out regardless. I’m just not willing to deal with the frustration of Ticketmaster anymore. I’d rather not go. Plenty of other great beer festivals in CO.
I’m not sure any ticket system can handle the demand without issues at this point.
There are plenty of sporting and music events that have way more demand than GABF. The problem isn’t demand. It’s that there are glitches every year and also that scalpers end up with hundreds of tickets.
