Message Leighton P beers 33727 º places 1204 º 13:13 Fri 6/15/2012 To echo what Ian said, I am damn sure I saw it somewhere on the website a week or so ago, but I cannot find it now. I think they did over the website and it’s different now. Somebody want to make a call?

Message DJMonarch beers 15202 º places 82 º 12:18 Sat 6/16/2012 I’ll have a scour of their website as I’m thinking about one also, but only if it includes trade session of course...
Message DJMonarch beers 15202 º places 82 º 12:22 Sat 6/16/2012 According to this site at least it’s still valid... http://www.planetrock.com/events/great-british-beer-festival1/
Message harrisoni P beers 25366 º places 68 º 14:01 Mon 6/25/2012 Ok, I’m on the scrounge. Anyone got a spare Trade ticket they can give me? I will be at the Olympics athletics at Straford in the morning, but the afternoon is clear, but I won’t be able to attend any other day, so I’m looking for the Tuesday only trade day ticket. Tom????
Message Leighton P beers 33727 º places 1204 º 14:04 Mon 6/25/2012 Looks like I’m in the same boat as Ian - I will likely only be able to go to GBBF on the Tuesday as I am leaving for America on the Thursday. If there is any kindhearted brewer or publican out there that can hook a brother up with a trade ticket, I’ll bring something back for them from USA.

Message chriso P beers 7540 º places 736 º 06:02 Mon 7/2/2012 Just had a confirmation email from CAMRA that the season ticket does cover entry to the trade session. For those of you who won’t be getting a season ticket, I suggest you badger a brewer (Ang?). Pubs are only allocated 2 trade tickets this year whereas brewers get 10, maybe more if they ask nicely. Also, as I’ve had a few enquiries, I can confirm that the pre GBBF shindig will take place as usual on the Saturday before GBBF, that is 4 August. I imagine attendance may be down of previous years due to some other insignificant event going on at the same time.

I’ll be attending some other insignificant event that day but will hopefully be able to make it for part of the tasting.
