Goldstar discount tickets can save you money on tickets for live entertainment, like theater, comedy, sports, music, performing arts and even things like wine tastings, sushi making classes and rodeos across the country.  Goldstar works directly with the venues to list tickets at a discount for shows when the seats aren’t going to sell out, so they can offer up to 50% off discount to help fill the seats.

While they haven’t started working with venues in Columbus, they do offer discounts in Cincinnati as well as many cities across the U.S.  If you’re traveling and hope to take in a show, this is a great place to buy your tickets!  They feature lots of events in New York and Las Vegas, currently including Broadway shows. They also have events in Altanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Philly, Portland, Seattle, D.C., and all over California, plus other major cities.

The 2014 Columbus Winter Beerfest will be held on Friday, January 17, 2014 and Saturday, January 18, 2014, from 7:30-11 p.m., at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. Tickets would make a great gift for the Beer Lovers in your life!

This delicious and boozy event will have over 300 craft beers available for sampling, and music presented by CD101.  Grand tasting tickets are $40-$45 in advance or $50 at the door.  You will get 25 tasting tickets, each good for the samples of your choice, plus a 5 oz. tasting cup.  (that’s a lot of ounces).

Bring a DD – designated drivers get in for $20 (must be 21 or over) and get $5 to spend on food, plus unlimited water or soft drinks.

You can also choose to go VIP for $40-$60, and you’ll get in the door at 6:30 - an hour early – to start your tasting, plus you’ll get an 8 oz. souvenir glass for your samples.  These will sell out, so get yours now!

If your standards are even high, you choose the Connoisseur Package for $75-$100, which includes VIP Early Admission benefits, Special Souvenir Glass, and Access into the Connoisseur Reception Area  (appetizer bites from 8-10 local restaurants each paired with a rare/super premium beer, private restrooms), and more.

This was a really fun event, and I think the VIP was worth it when I went (when I could still drink beer) because you could try the most popular samples before the event gets more crowded.  Plus you’ll have a chance to snag a table for your group to congregate around.
