You have to have a game card to buy the tickets, yet it won't let me enter mine in because it needs a UK postcode with my number & surname...

It says if there's any problems to email or call them

Alternatively, you could just use BT11AA

Interesting. I was considering going to the Eurogamer event in London, which is a week after this one. I have no experience of Birmingham, what's it like for three lads looking to go on the lash after a day of gaming?

Healium

I'll probably go to this, just up the road

Boardsies piss-up?

Where's good to go?

Think we're having drinks in the hotel on the Friday

RedXIV

I actually would go to this except herself will be 38 weeks pregnant at that stage and she might not take too kindly to me disappearing for a few days

Have fun anyway!

Sabre0001

Damn....Tempted by this! Heading to F1 weekend before and thesis due shortly after, so best not to go!



But I would love to..........

It's 10£ not euro isn't it, and that's for one day entry only. Still cheap enough though.

Kersmash

Can't wait for this now.

Well, not literally, but Milton Keynes is a hell of a lot closer than Kilkenny was :pac: Think it's < 1 hour train journey.

Might be cheeky, and see if I can get a press pass EDIT: Damn, that's Eurogamer Expo

Also, I will be sleeping on your hotel floor. kthxbai.

I think only the early ones were, as Mr Bloat said, but I got mine ages ago.

Tallon

They announced on there Twitter the Saturday was all sold out

Tallon

All fully booked, cannot wait

There really are a lot of us going... If anyone wants to tag, or meet up over there, let me know

The nice thing about the National Exhibition Centre is it's right beside Birmingham Airport. All you have to do is take a short monorail ride from the terminal building (there's also a rail station if you want to pop in to the city centre).

Tallon

I'm pretty sure the event itself is organising free shuttle buses

Also, the hotel is in the airport too :_
