was only a dozen casual tickets left after I bought mine.

What are the BYOC desk/space dimensions?

And anyone coming from the West (London ish) let me know if you're interested in car pooling or need a lift.

Will be the but probably just the expo. Too poor to pay $60 lol. It does not help that most people there will be not form OCN community unlike before.

I do not remember from last time but can you bring a friend or do you have to buy a ticket for each person even though they are not going to bring a PC?

Edit: Bought 2 tickets. See you guys there. I hope they open more seats for OCN if gaming tickets do not fill up.

To enter the BYOC area they will need a BYOC ticket.

I will ask about opening up more OCN tickets if we sell through. AMD's priority is on eSports as the event is funded from their eSports marketing dollars this time around (notice that the event is not paired with any product launches). It does look like the tournaments are having a harder time selling than usual due to the prize pool reductions from $3,000 to $2,000 each combined with the price increase for tickets.

Seating will be 2 per table, the tables will either be 6 foot or 5 foot tables. I unfortunately won't know which type until the Friday before when we start setup.

Yeah. The price will keep a lot of "gamers" away.

I wonder what will happen if tickets dont sell. Maybe they should reconsider the asking price?

Not many are coming in general this this. I feel like many still do not know about this.

This is about the only good thing that happens here in Toronto. Nothing is really close. At least in Vancouver they can just drive to Seattle for so much more events that go on down there.
