Has anyone been to the craft beer fest during previous years? Admission is $7 in person, but you save $2 so it's only $5 if you buy online. Admission includes a 4oz collector’s sampling cup and it's $2 per drink token. My question is how do the drink tokens work. Is each 4oz pour only $2, or does each vendor have differing prices? |
All pricing was the same last year. |
last 2 years it was all 2 bucks per pour |
|
Damn, spoiler that....................... please. |
if you eat that kind of food how do you tell if there's a bug in there that should'nt be there? |
They'll just pawn it off as the sampler |

Can buy multiple tickets inside once you pay admission, but there isnt a discount in buying 10 tickets etc. It's a good event to spend a few hours with friends, lines are usually very quick if they are there at all. My problem with it is that most breweries bring lighter beers or specialty bullshit like Heff's, fruit beers, etc. to appeal to a larger crowd as opposed to their staple IPA's, pale ales, etc, where most are too bitter for a lot of people. Other than that it's always a good time and i've gone multiple times over the last couple years |
Crushed back some pulled pork sandwiches and finished off the night with a hotdog stuffed inside a deep fried pickle and 3 bags of mini donuts...I felt like total shit afterwards but I don't regret it. I was walking through the games so my girlfriend could gaze at all the giant cheap stuffed teddy things she wanted and finally found a giant pokemon one. She attempted to play a game, she failed and I laughed. The kid running the game called me out on it so I played. 3 rows of clowns standing on a shelf and you get 3 balls. If you can knock 3 over you win a jumbo prize. Easy. I play ball with friends every year in a mens league. First try and I get her the prize she wanted. Later on we bump in to one of her friends and she asks me to get her one so I say sure. We all walk back to the game and I was told I'm not allowed to play the game anymore since I won a prize from there today... seriously????? If you win a prize from a game are you no longer allowed to play that game or is that some crap the 16 year old kid made up so I didn't rob him of all his stuffed animals??? Anyone happen to notice Mel Gibson there yesterday? I was there all day so I probably walked right past him at one point or another but he was sporting a mustache and hat so he must've blended in to the crowd as a regular random. |

If you really wanted to win another one, go back when a different person is working the game. :alonehappy: |
This year, most of the PNE allows for alcohol. Not in Playland, though. It's nice being able to check out everything with a beer in hand. Not nice is $8 for a can of beer. |
-free admission days and the Seniors' Day: August 22nd and 29th: 11am to 1pm. FREE :awwyeah: Seniors' Day: August 24th: 11am to late. Seniors 65+ receive free admission. I mentioned the Seniors' Day for MG1. :D |
Went twice on Saturday (day tiime and evening) and it was pretty dead. Living in the area I go multiple times every year and the last couple years it has really really dropped off hard in terms of attendance. The first tell tale sign has always been when you walk in and hit the food vendors. First thing I noticed was over 50% of the vendors have zero and i literally mean zero line up and even the ones with lineups were like 3 or 34 people deep. The huge burger place was the only place with any significant line. Walked through some of the exhibits, the hockey one, the toy one and again dead. Getting a table to eat, no issues it was literally take your pick. $1.50 entry + weekend + nice weather didn't help at all and I'm not really surprised. Nothing has really changed, it's the same old shit, actually even worse than what it used to be. However, I'll still always go so long as PNE keeps giving em free tix every year. |
I went today for free admission and it was bordering on terrible. I'm not going back tonight or next week. Sad........... And where's the rain? PNE traditionally meant rain in Vancouver. Like winson604 said, I'll keep going at least once a year, as long as it's free. EDIT: sorry for the whining, but I was born and raised in Vancouver (whiner's paradise), so cannot help it. It's in me. |
So my workplace has a deal, $45 includes Admission and Ride pass. Is there any place cheaper? |

Went yesterday and it was a pretty good crowd. It didn't feel ridiculously packed as previous years, but there was a good amount of people there. The cricket burger was $9.50 and the cricket fries was $8.50. Friend got a coupon book near the Pacific Coliseum entrance that gave me $1 off, so it ended up being $17 for both and they were relatively good. The burger patty was some cheap frozen meat patty and you could definitely taste it. The fries came with a lot more crickets and was slathered in gravy. I'd definitely order the fries again as it was filling (carbs) and there were a lot more crickets. |

no BBQ fest this year right? Too bad a lot of the classics have moved on like the scones/whales tails etc... |
There's still 3 diff BBQ places but don't know about a competition. Had some ribs on Friday were pretty good. The pulled pork from gator BBQ looked good. That whole area around the BBQ spot was kinda downsized which is disappointing. Beer garden is still good though |
Not sure if someone said it already, but the province has the coupon for the free discount book you can get at guest services. Save you a $1 or so on a bunch of food items. |
wat. no more whale tails? was my childhood fav :okay: |
