The best of intentions - getting to taste new beers. The worst of results - Trying a person's patience to the point that you wish you just stayed home and made a trip to BevMO instead. It makes one think twice before one invests 1.5 hours on the highway to go to a festival. The good news. The great ones help make up for the poor ones. Sort of like 3 lousy bands, but the 4th band is great. Hopefully people running these festivals learn from their mistakes. brewnot I had a similar experience at a different festival.

I purchased my ticket online . . .stood in line for 1.5 hrs (unsure if it was the proper line) . . .got my ticket and stood in line AGAIN to get in. After 45 mins in the second line--we left and drank beer on the beach. You would think it would be much better organized. Two words: CROWD CONTROL. Keep folks informed. I am truly disappointed.
