I'd assume that the ticket seller would have the option to buy one bottle back. That seems more reasonable.

You can, of course, sell with any conditions you like - I'm just wondering if that is indeed standard practice.

That's what I've been told. I don't frequent Beer Advocate forums or anything, but I have friends that do and they told me this is pretty standard. I know one of them sold their DLD tickets for the same deal this year.

I agree with your sentiment. Although, I haven't found the lines/process/etc. as dreadful as others have, I probably wouldn't go for just 1 bottle. But people go for different reasons. Some for the music or the trading. Maybe some people can't afford to buy all 4 bottles per ticket. I certainly have seen people not buying their full allotment of Dark Lord.


I've actually already made a deal for 1 of the tickets where I'll get a couple bottles, so I'd do the other ticket for face and then I'll buy a bottle or 2.
