Coach Cal Makers Mark Bottle

[Rebel]

Question on the Keeneland signing. It says ticketmaster is handling this for a charge of $1. My questions are:

 

1. tickets are being handed out lottery style for 1,200 winners. Do you have to show up at Keeneland on the 6th. or can you just apply online for a number for the signing on the 9th.?

 

2. If you win the lottery do you have to bring the Makers Bottle with you, or do they furnished the bottle at a charge of $49.00 at Keeneland?

 

I really want this bottle signed and do not want to miss out on this chance. I've never done anything like this before.

After reading both Keeneland's website and tickemaster's I believe I understand how this is going to work.

 

On Sat the 3rd. you go to ticketmaster.com and sign up for the autograph session. If your lucky and 1 of the 1,200 people to win, you will get a "on-line bottle signing ticket". On Tuesday the 6th. if choosen you have to go to Keeneland and recieve your actual signing ticket between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm. On Friday the 9th. you will get in line by the number on your ticket from Ticketmaster. You have to be in line before 7:00 am for the signing to start at 8:00.

 

Anybody else going to do this? And am I reading this right?

Not worth it for me. I have one of Cal's books signed, no need to get a bottle signed as well. :lol:

 

I don't collect the makers mark bottles like some people do though.

From my wife (who is kind of in charge of all this):

1. Everything will be done on Ticketmaster. There will be no lottery anymore due to the potential "high volume" that would likely happen at Keeneland. You will get a ticket for a ticket (if that makes sense). You will take your Ticketmaster ticket to Keeneland on April 6 at 8 am to get your other ticket. Your position in line will be based on the order in which your ticket request was processed.

2.You MUST have a bottle in-hand! No bottle=no signature. Each person is only allowed to have ONE bottle signed.

Another side note (and I'm just sharing this with my BGP friends), just because you have a ticket doesn't mean you are guaranteed a signed bottle. Coach Calipari is only signing for a certain time period. You may not know this, but Coach Cal suffers from from a severe case a arthritis in his hands and can only sign things for a limited time.

Hope this helps.

Are you going to get it signed?

I couldn't find any in NKY, everyone was sold out and each place only got a case of 12.

Hate to hear that. The # of cases each place receives is very political, as you can probably imagine.

[NHS BIG DADDY]

I've tried about 10-12 different stores in NKY also with no luck. If anyone knows of a store that has them in, let me know. Thanks

My daughter called and she is bringing mine tonigth. She lives in Bowling Green and her best friend works at a liquor store there.

 

How much did everyone pay for theirs. It was my understanding that $50 was the average price.

The wife pulled through once again. She said they only had one case and she was one of the last in line to receive a bottle.
