DARK LORD DAY FAQ

HOW DO I PICK UP MY DARK LORD BOTTLES?
You can enter the festival anytime. Your wristband is printed + chipped with a group assignment that indicates your Dark Lord pickup time:

Group A 9-11am / Group B 11am-1pm / Group C 1-3pm / Group D 3-5pm

If you miss your group time, you can pick up your bottles in a later group. Deluxe ticket holders may pick up their bottles in any group.

Dark Lord bottle pickup will take place inside the brewery. Security will check your group assignment, and scan and mark your wristband to indicate receipt of your bottles.

Dark Lord bottles are not available before or after the festival or to those who left without picking them up. 3 Floyds will not replace lost or broken bottles.
