    If you were handed a ticket tomorrow, would you go to evo in july.

    Simple question, yes or no answers.


    It's occurred to me , that we have no idea how many (or likely: little) people can/would actually go.

    I would if I had the money and a group was going

    Alone? Never, I personally wouldn't feel right


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,229 ✭✭✭Dreddybajs


    no


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,003 ✭✭✭✭K.O.Kiki


    I couldn't :(


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,872 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    I would, although I'd prefer if there was another human with me :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,499 ✭✭✭Sabre0001


    Yes, I would be going if I had the holidays from work (although if I was handed a ticket, I'm sure I could find a way)...Unfortunately, my chances of being handed a ticket (however good bad they are) are dashed by being rostered this weekend too.


    Sure, aren't I lucky to have a job.....:rolleyes:

    🤪

    Yep


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,119 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    Yep. It's for a weekend only. Just be very thrifty for the next month and even dole scum like myself could afford it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,587 ✭✭✭Xinkai


    Fk yeah!

    This could set up all kinds of 'Pretty Woman'-type situations.....

    I'm not sure about that, I'm not a big fan of Julia Roberts.

    I'm definitely not paying to sleep with Richard Gere, either

    No. I can't even beat you guys.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 684 ✭✭✭Ken B


    Ps: I would go....but would probably prefer some company(human or hamster/gerbil).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 238 ✭✭Cobelcog


    No


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 567 ✭✭✭Vyze


    N


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,170 ✭✭✭Sagat06


    not even if they let you use a keyboard

    cmon ropey you know you would :p


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 15,255 Mod ✭✭✭✭FutureGuy


    I would definately go but it would have to be a part of a big holiday.

    So in answer to your question, no.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 886 ✭✭✭randomchild


    Nope, if I was around the city at the time I would probably spectate for a day though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 551 ✭✭✭Monkeyto


    Hell Yeah! A dude like me would have no issues making friends at EVO :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭Creature


    No. It doesn't interest me at all, even if I could afford it.


  • Moderators Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Azza


    I'm kinda indifferent. I'd go but I would prefer Inferno's regular prize.

    I'd go, but it would take a good few laxatives for me to get that far in inferno.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 836 ✭✭✭Leprekaun


    No, because I don't have the cash for staying in Vegas itself. I did read into it a little and the kind of money for hotels is a bit mad. That said, I was looking into Caesar Palace itself so definitely a pricey place.

    I would definitely go though if I had the money.

    I suppose im the same. As much as I like the game I dont think id be arsed going to America alone just for street fighter.


  • Moderators Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Azza


    Yeah I'd probably have interest going with a group.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,363 ✭✭✭Misty Chaos


    Love to but I can't even make to the inferno event at this weekend.

    If I did, I'd have no issues going on my own. Traveled on my own before and had a blast.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 396 ✭✭chunkis


    IF YOU THOUGHT CANNNES WAS GOOD, EVO IS AMAZING!

    When i went it was an amazing experience, ya all dont know what your missing!

    whoever does i go i will make sure they get hooked up in vegas, i will try to sort out free accomodation, am sure i could organise something for whoever does end up going.

    Also ryan hart is going and he might have room in his hotel, hes a good friend of mine and i am sure he wouldn`t mind taking care of whoever goes, i know whoever does go will have a wicked time with ryan, ryan knows everybody at evo and the trip is gauranteed to be amazing if your hanging out with ryan.

    He met quite a few of you guys in cannes and he thought you were all stand up guys. Hes mention you guys a few times and is interested in coming sometime.

    Anyway evo for the win!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27 Armitage Shanks1


    If my ticket was given to me paid for,yes id definatly go.But i wouldnt bother going if i had to pay for it myself only as someone else said above if it was part of a longer holiday.Not just for the EVO weekend or however long it is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,239 ✭✭✭UberPrinny_Baal


    Yeah.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 146 ✭✭BourketheJerk


    I'd love to go it sounds great, i watched the stream when last years one was on and it looked like great craic

    id go in a heart beat, free flights to america, all these people yapping they cant afford accomodation, you planning on drinking warm milk in your hotel room all day.

    im sure theres hostels or backpacker style joints, plus casino floors are 24 hour, its not as if the weather will be cold and 2 mc donald meals a day isnt gonna cost much.

    it would be an experience, better than searching for ranked battles in your underwear.
