If you tried to join us last year, you already know: tickets for the Westmalle Open Brewery Days are in high demand. Very high. Much faster than we ever expected, every single spot was taken. And so, the question is already popping up: \u201cHow can I make sure I get tickets this year?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

To be honest? We can\u2019t guarantee anything \u2014 space is limited, after all. But with a few smart moves and a bit of preparation, you\u2019ll definitely increase your chances. Ready to take action? Great. Let\u2019s get started.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To make things easy, we\u2019ve split this blog post into three sections:<\/p>\n

    Preparation is key<\/h3> \n

    Good prep makes a big difference \u2014 really. These tips will give you a serious edge over the rest.<\/p>\n

    Stay in the loop<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Make sure you don\u2019t miss any important updates. Follow us on Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> for the latest news and real-time updates on the day of the sale. That way, you\u2019ll be the first to know if anything changes or if there are technical issues.<\/p>\n

    Think ahead: when do you want to visit?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The Open Brewery Days work with time slots: from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with a new group starting every 15 minutes. That gives you 27 possible start times to choose from.<\/p>\n

    Want to increase your odds? Skip the peak hours (like 10:00 or 14:00), and go for an earlier or less obvious time \u2014 like 9:45 or 13:15. Fewer people will be going for those, which plays in your favour.<\/p>\n

    Check your Ticketmaster account<\/strong><\/p>\n

    You need an account to buy tickets. Already have one? Make sure to log in beforehand and check that your info is still up to date \u2014 email, password, phone number… all good? Perfect.<\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t have an account yet? Now\u2019s the time to make one at ticketmaster.be<\/a>. It only takes a few minutes \u2014 and it\u2019ll save you stress when it counts.<\/p>\n

    In short: the better prepared you are, the better your chances of a smooth and successful ticket run. That\u2019s it for the prep \u2014 now let\u2019s talk about sale day.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>

    The day tickets go on sale<\/h3> \n

    Here we go. It\u2019s the big day \u2014 exciting, right? Here\u2019s how to make sure everything goes smoothly when the sale starts.<\/p>\n

    Be logged in before 10:00 a.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re on the site before 10:00 a.m., you\u2019ll likely be placed in a waiting room. This room opens when things get busy on the ticket page. Once the sale officially starts, you\u2019ll be automatically moved from the waiting room to the actual queue.<\/p>\n

    Important:<\/strong> the waiting room and the queue are not the same! And it doesn\u2019t matter whether you\u2019re there at 7:00 a.m. or 9:55 a.m. \u2014 as long as you\u2019re in the waiting room before the sale starts, everyone has the same chance.<\/p>\n

    But if you join after<\/strong> 10:00 a.m., you\u2019ll be placed at the back of the queue \u2014 and by then, lots of tickets may already be gone.<\/p>\n

    So here\u2019s what to do:<\/strong><\/p>\n
