Paid $12 to pass the barriers. Stood in line for 20 mins to get ID checked for wristband for beer tent. Stood in line to buy tickets. Stood in line for 1 BBQ place for 40 mins, paid $10 for a small brisket sandwich, vendor took cash - tickets not needed. No way to try each BBQ joint w/o standing in 20-30 min lines.
Not worth it
