Other FAQ:
-I bought a “Flight” Ticket, but the scanner only shows 21 points on my first usage-why is that? Don’t be alarmed….The ticket program, by default, adds an additional point for each use (‘customer loyalty’.) You’ll get 25 points of value from punching 5-or-8 times. SAME WITH “SOCIAL” TIX—those show 13 points to start.
-Can I buy my no-ticket-no-cash friend a drink with my ticket? Yep. Whatever you want, while you still have points.
-Can I buy 2 wines and then switch to beer? Yep. Or vice versa! …while you still have points.
-Can I buy a drink ticket on site at the banquet? NOPE. But you can pay with cash or a check for whatever drinks you want.
-Can I order a Margarita, Colorado Bulldog, Tequila Sunrise, Moscow Mule, Wine Spritzer, or other of my very favorite bar drinks? NOPE. See above for any/all available liquors and mixes. PS—If you want to get a Vodka Sour and pour some of your partner’s beer in it….you’ll have the Aurora Mule…. Glass of white wine, add some carbonated sour? Go for it! AND ETC.
-Is an online ticket punching system perfect and will it work 100% of the time? Definitely not.
-If I want a soda, should I just get it from the bartender? NOPE. All beverages behind bar are only for mixing drinks. Included soda, lemonade, water is SELF SERVE.
Bartenders will answer most questions. If they can’t, they’ll know who to check with.
