[-x Been to every Cigarfest since day one. Ticket sales today were a joke. Pre-registered signed in and site said sold out immediately. No one answered phone to get call in tickets. Auction is now up to $400 a ticket. I'm out! Bye Bye CI! All my buddies had same problem!

Sorry, but one idiot bidding high at $400 does not make this a Ripoff. The current bid is $180 to get tickets.

I agree preregistration was a joke, but every year there are going to be people who can't get them online at the opening bell. Every year they try and change things around to make it fair and easier on them, but there are still going to be people who can't get them. They could sell 4,000 and they would probably still sell out the first day.

Do what I did, if you couldn't get them at 5:00 am, put a bid in. I promise you won't pay more then $10 them most people. Heck, you were probably going to spend close to $800-1,000 on the weekend anyway, whats another $50-75 more. And in my opinion, if you can't afford the extra $50-75, you probably shouldn't be spending the $800-1,000 anyways.

Just Saying

🇨🇮 Don't appreciate your comments VaMtn man. It's none of your business what I can afford. General Admission Tckets were $110 which is fine with me. Would even pay $150. The only tickets on the auction site are these new Cigar Nut Tickets which get you in 4 hours early! Who would even want that anyway. I put a bid in for $170 maximum and was knocked out immediately. Also the auction goes on for another 20 days so no one knows where the prices will end up! All my CI and CBID buddies got locked out. We all pre-registered and were online the minute the auction opened. Oh, one other thing, not everybody has $1000 bucks to spend on one day at Cigarfest! Your a pompous a___! Just sayin!

I've never been but I agree with this comment......If your going to spend money on a long weekend out of town, what is an extra 50 bucks.....I mean 50 bucks is usually my bar tab on any given night out....and your spending this to ensure that you have a good time on a special event that is basically a small vacation.

Hey David, doing good Brother. We need to get a little Herf going here soon. I saw where you said you might not go this year to CigarFest. If you need a ticket, just let me know. I am sure we can dig you up one. John and Riley are going, and it will be a great time. Looks like we might have 20 or so people going from here going.

I still lurk from time to time, just been so busy with work and life, that I haven't gotten back into posting more often.

What all this craziness about cigar fest?

Take a tour to Nicaragua or Dominican republic, smoke all you can, drink all you can, and herf with great people for less than what spent on few hours in a sausage fest...

Stop whining you whiners!
