Xbox One Tour- Dublin

deathrider

Hey, lads, I was just wondering what the deal is with the Xbox One Tour hitting Dublin. After a spot of googling all the solid info I seem to be able to find is a burb which is reprinted on most sites I've visited, stating the dates that it'll be in each city (Novemebr 14th-17th for Dublin) and a list of games that will be present at the show. I can't find anywhere that says wherabouts it's actually going to be held though, or who (if anyone) will be at it. The most I've gotten is a page which claimed there was not set venue as of yet, but that page was dated as the start of this month, so I'd imagine somewhere must be secured at this stage.

Does anyone have any solid information on this event?

Apoligies if there's already a thread for this, I didn't see one on the first few pages.

Don't miss out - get your hands on the Xbox One before anyone else.

Yeah, emails are going out now, you pick what time you want to go on whatever day you pick.

Nutmeg

Yeah, you get to apply for 3 sessions over the few days that would suit you the best, most of which are 4 hours long and if you're selected you'll get tickets to one of the sessions you applied for.

When I was applying, it looked like the evening session on Friday Nov 15th was already full.

I was tempted to sign up for one of these sessions
but I'd rather be surprized on the day would gladly take on to any reviews any of you have after you guys come back have heard nothing but great things from forza and dead rising 3 , apart from the start loading times which take about 30-60 seconds but practically no loading times after that

Superfint

How do you sign up/register lads?

deathrider

Did these emails just come because you're an Xbox Live member? I don't seem to have one in my inbox.

Will this event be worth going to?
Likely to be any freebies?

Got the confirmation email there for the invitation. Interestingly it doesn't mention the +1 on it, which I did apply for.

Same as me, got the invite but no mention of +1.

Really wondering what to expect from this, have a feeling it'll just be like an old fashioned arcade set up!

wes

Got the confirmation as well, and not mention of the +1 either.

keifer browne

I got selected and confirmation email and then when i got the barcode and scanned it to verify the ticket then it asked me for email address and password i never gave a password when signing up for it has this happened to anyone else?

wexdevil

I think the barcode is for them to scan when you show up, all you need to do is print that email

I'm going but I put my son down as my plus one. He's not 18 yet but would pass for it. I don't need id cos I'm middle aged haha. I just wonder are they going to be complete Nazis over his age. Obviously this would be a big thing for him, not really me.

Might have something to with the venue more than anything or insurance issues
