Just wondering since its an open event how would people feel about trying to match up the first game by date. Just a thought for the first game sure it would'nt cause too many problums, if all the lists were in by a reasonbile date for the planner. Just a thought.

OK it isn't but if you want a place I suggest you book sooner rather than expect there to be one left in six weeks time.

Ten gone in the first day 22 left? not bad that.

Will

My memory is hazy but did I give you a lift back last year?

If so then I'm sure we could sort something out again this year.

Just drop me a PM.

I've got my ticket for FoG but I couldn't buy a ticket for the door entry no matter where I clicked - I sent them an e-mail asking whether they had a glitch or was I being stupid (...talk about leaving an open goal for some sarcastic tech-y type!)

I've had the same problem and also sent an email.

Same here.

The web site says

Your Expo ID
This year we have upgraded our customer system so that you see all your Expo information in one place.

What do I need to do?

•When you place your first order your confirmation email will contain an expo id and password
•Next time you place an order or want to review your Expo information you can use this ID and password to login in to your UK GAMES EXPO account.
•Once you are logged in the system will assign any orders to your customer account automatically.
•On the day of the show bring your Expo ID to collect everything in one go.
•You can then use that ID every year.

However, I have not had any confirmation from them, only from PayPal for the payment, so have not received the promised id and password ...

System not working properly by the look of it.

Strange I paid for ticket and day entry and got a confirmation email from them yesterday? but no id number just confirmation of £16 from games expo

The problem with the ordering system has been fixed, you can order your Expo tickets as well now.

If you want a place you had better grab one soon. There are now only 6 places left

!

I have been in discussion with the organisers to see if we can get more playing space and they are going to see what they can do but to be sure you need to grab places while they are there.

I did tell them I could get more than 32 players but there are space limitations on the venue and lots of other things for them to fit in.

Maybe the other rule set could give you some as they have'nt sold any of there tickets.

I suggested this last year but in the end when the other ruleset had still sold no tickets they just gave that space to another event entirely.

All we can do is make sure we look like we are keen and with 26 entries in a couple of days I think that counts as keen

What is your deadline for army lists.

I just got the same. £16 and paypal receipt. I did notice that the availability numbers for FOG did not update once I'd booked so I do hope their system catched up as some body, including myself, could end up slightly miffed aas the system does not operate in real time.

Two weeks before please. I am expecting at least 32 lists to check and will be in the process of releasing a new boardgame for the Games Expo as well.

hammy · Post by **hammy** » Fri Apr 23, 2010 6:22 pm

Only 4 places left.

Can we sell out before the other game sells it's first ticket
