    Awh I was going to go but I am not feeling the best and I have alot to study. :(

    If they are having it on again I would be happy to meet up from a few here and go. The crowd who run these screenings are very friendly and are happy to chat to you but I know how hard it can be to go on your own.

    Apologies for the original post not being updated. All of the conventions listed are on similar dates for 2013 but I will update it properly very soon, I promise!

    No problem, i have to be honest this post is still the most accurate source of generic information for such events, I went in a local shop on Saturday (will not make any name) and they were not able to provide any information, so I was quite desperate.... :) ....

    Rather than starting a new thread . . . anyone know what the ticket situation is with nom con?

    I see pre-reg has closed, will I have to chance rejection at the door or will I be able to buy tickets online again close to the date?

    There shouldn't be much chance of being denied at the door, I don't think Nom will have the same capacity issues as Arcade, but on the safe side keep an eye on their Facebook page in case that changes.

    Online pre-reg almost certainly won't re-open.

    Thanks, I wasn't at arcade con (unfortunately learnt about it afterwards only) but friends didn't get into comic con, makes me think planning a head is a must for these sort of things.
