Edited post to now include Event Numbers.. registration is supposedly open now.

If I understand this right, if I want to play in the 1850 I need to buy a 50 dollar pass for the whole event, and then pay an additional fee just for that tournament?

Yep, Origins registration fee, and then a minor $5 or $7.50 for the RTT or any of the other day-long events. The short events are either freebies or $2.50.

However, you are not just getting our tournament for the registration. This is a HUGE convention, and last year pulled in 15k people over 5 days.. we are just ONE group running in the miniatures hall.

I cant just get a one day pass or something? I wouldnt mind playing, but have no interest in anything else at origins, and feel that spending 55 just on the ticket to a single RTT is too much for my budget.

I believe that one day tickets are available.. not sure of their cost. Check the Origins Website.

Last year there was a $20 per day fee, or a significant discount if it was your first time attending.

This year there is supposedly a $5 fee to attend, per day, if you DON"T play any games, and just want to watch or shop the Exhibit Hall.

The day pass is $30 for Saturday. For $50 you can get all days and participate in the Apoc game on Friday then the RTT on Saturday. If I had more time I would try to make it for both events but I can only make it for the Saturday Event.

DAMN! Im in a wedding that weekend!

OK guys.... a week to go before this, and those of us at 40KOrigins labs are working hard to make sure this year is as good as last year...

See you all there!

Origins tends to be a pretty good convention. I wish I could go this year.

i wish i could go. the one time i went to origins it was alot more fun than gencon was for years.

Is there a site with more info? I've been to 40kOrigins, but I'm not sure what FOC the 750pt doubles tourney uses (split seperate), is painting required, etc.

I plan on being there with my IG and a variety of lists, so hopefully I can get some games in.

pretty much the first post has all the info that we have..

If you are bringing a 750 force, you will need to have 1HQ and 2 Troops as usual. Painting is NOT required for this, but it IS encouraged.

I will have my nic on my badge.. so I look forward to seeing you!
