Tickets selling like crazy - Saturday lunchtime nearly sold out; Friday and Saturday evenings not far behind. If you're coming to this festival without a ticket, please do not expect to get in. There will be 50 tickets "on the door" on Fri and Sat eves, and about the same on Sat lunchtime, but there is no guarantee that you will get in if you do not have a ticket. Postal ticket applications no longer being accepted due to proximity to event; call the Guildhall ticket hotline if you wish to reserve tickets on the door -
023 8063 2601.
Thanks for your patience folks, I won't bother you any further.
Cheers, Ian Black Southampton Beer Festival
