It's Vegas. There're always cheap'ish flights; they WANT you to get there, and once you're out of money, they WANT you to go away again.


Lol.

Then I'll just ask my friends for a bed/couch.

Dang. With my Civc's gas milage, the drive to & from Los Angeles will be cheaper than any flight.

@Thread

Dude, you've seen me drink. You know I'm not anti-drinking.

Plus, it'll be fun.

Or it'll degenerate into a drunken rant about how much I hate this game and will be fun for other people to watch. If that happens, somebody tape it. I've never drunk enough to actually get drunk(not for lack of trying, either) and my wife wants to see it.

Oh I know, buddy, we've shared a beer or three! haha, I just don't want anyone to feel pressured to drink is all. Purely voluntary for safety, ethics and liability reasons.

@HotSauceMan1

I honestly have no idea how long tickets will last. Sometimes we get a big surge in the beginning and then again at the end, but this is a really hotly anticipated event, I would not be surprised if it continued selling at this pace and we sold it out early.

@OverwatchCNC

If yous wife wants to come in the Con or participate in the social events, she will need a badge. If she plans on doing her own thing, no. The only exceptions we're making to the con badge rule is for kids under 12 years of age.

See you there, buddy! You bringing the Flying Circus?

Cool we will probably pick up a badge for her too then. Not sure what I will be bringing yet to be honest. I really want to get my HH era Salamanders done at some point and actually use them but we'll see. I will probably end up bringing whatever army I have painted and foam for transporting! I do enjoy playing the Nurgle Circus a lot...

Reecius I think you missing an opportunity here. I think you do a grudge match between Dugg and Blackmoor, and do it Vegas style. Allow people to wager on the game. You could do some fun stuff like wager on who won the roll to go first, who got first blood, or whatever. I would incorporate into a charity event. Half the money wagered goes to a charity of the winner’s choice. All in good fun!

BTW I just got my ticket.

you could go one step further and and have a huge "sports book" for the tournament like they do for PGA Tour events. Place wagers on who will win what awards etc. Or do all Internet celebrity grudge matches round 1 and let people place bets. Just don't ask me to do any of the leg work

Hey everyone, tickets are still moving right along. 40K has passed the 1/3 full mark and is well on the way to 1/2 full out of a potential 256 players!

We're still way out from the event and this is on track to sell out way early so definitely, definitely don't wait on getting those main event tickets!

Fantasy is 25% full and Beerhammer and the Pub Crawl are really popular already as is the Zombie Survival game!

I will get the word out to our crew for the fantasy side, but its going to be rough since we will have just come back from Waaghpaca in Wisconsin the week prior. You might want to contact the Reno crew and tap into the Sacramento, Redding, and Phoenix crowds for more people.
