    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... :confused:

    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?

    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!

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

    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 :D EDIT: Damn, that's Eurogamer Expo

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