Brewery Ommegang has taken steps to make sure that Belgium Comes to Cooperstown isn’t ruined by its own popularity.

The brewery has capped tickets sales for the festival, July 21 this year, at 800. Last year 1,400 attended, with 40% of tickets sold day of the festival.

The explanation:

William Blake, the inspiration for Three Philosophers name, once said, “You never know what is enough, until you know what is more than enough.” In 2006, we discovered how much is more than enough, and this year Belgium Comes to Cooperstown is going to be a bit smaller … and a lot better.

Ommegang has added VIP passes (200 only), with holders gaining entrance to a Friday night dinner and many other perks.
