[I33] Prediction SELL OUT Febuary 21st

[Traxata]

Seating at the i-Series is arranged on a first-come, first-served basis. There are currently just slightly over 300 places left for i33, making by far our fastest selling event ever! We fully expect the event to sell out by revision 6 on Thursday 21st February.

Just thought you might like that in a new thread

I wont be going if the tickets sell out before I get my paycheck on the last day of February.

Facebook message from today/yesterday states only 240 to go

I won't be there then. I can see the first i-series at the new venue being a big event though - very big

 

[Traxata]

I think theres going to be less seating as its at a stadium, the grandstands can't really be used for gamers I'm not sure what the total area is on the playing feild though, may be bigger than newbury racecourse

The new venue will be massive in comparison to newbury. NEC is absolutely massive, it is a big exhibition venue so is perfectly designed for it.

Yep, thats the place, couldn't for the life of me think what it was earlier The NEC would hold a mahooosive LAN!

the NEC takes nearly 5000 people standing for a gig after security measures and a stage are in place so i'd imagine that it'd comfortably take half that for a Lan as no stage are will be required

they want it to be an expo too, as the i event is the only thing like that in the uk =]

i33 waiting list - how does it work?

Okay so we understand some people will have financial or other reasons for not paying this weekend and will most likely miss out - however do not fret as there is a waiting list for those who really want to come but couldn't quite make it in time.
The list will work on the basis of who attempted to pay after we sold out. Therefore as soon as we sell out, attempt to pay for your booking and you'll get yourself on the list. You're within a better chance of being able to come the sooner you get your name on there, the last time we had a list people as low down as #100 were getting spaces, so it's worth doing.
If someone cancels, we take the next name on the list, call them up and take their payment. They then receive a place and the person wanting a refund is refunded in full, minus a £10 administration fee.

I believe that trax is thinking just of the NEC Arena.

Some googling found a site plan showing the following

Now, the NEC Arena shown on the plan is a 12000 seater arena, which gives you some sense of the scale of the thing.. I havn't been to the Arena, so I dont know if it;s construction is permanent of if it can be stowed away for hall use. Either way, there's still plenty of space left for the I series to fill up

Well its 3 days earlier than predicted !

"That’s it folks, i33 is now well and truly sold out in a final flurry of purchases - one month to the day away from the event! That’s the UK record well and truly smashed, previously held by our very own i30 event last year. We are only sold out for Bring Your Own Computer so if you’d still like to experience i33 then you can still come along as Turn Up and Play or as a visitor for the weekend." !

 

[thatbloke]

Can you buy visitor passes on the day? I may come up and say hi on the saturday

 

[Traxata]

I believe so, cos all your doing is walking around
