Tickets for all the dinners are now available online only, which apparently is part of the price increase, according to the following sample breakdown their website gives: $65 for the meal and beer, $5 something for tax, $10 grat, $5 online fee.

These dinners consistently sell out, and often far in advance, so if you’re interested don’t drag your feet.
