TOPIC: GHC Ticket Sales?

Preregistration ends at noon next Thursday. Only 1 ticket sold in the past 3 days, so unless there's a last minute flurry of activity, this will pretty much be it up until the con. Saturday is impressively 84% sold out with not much open until after 5pm. If you can make it on Friday, you should find there are more options.

I am no expert but I get the feeling if the tickets were available on Sat/Sun more may be sold.

Friday was spotty at WYC, so I don't find these numbers surprising.

The second dungeon was added later n the process. That may be a factor.

Only about 3 days left to preregister and then these numbers will be final until the con doors open.

Hope everyone has what they want for now. The GHC site has been down for a little bit. I assume they'll come back up, but tomorrow at noon CT is the deadline for preregistration. After that, you'll need to wait until the con. Generally, Saturday is sold out for Deeperdark Redux. Underdark Awaits is open in the evening. On Friday, you can find times for either run, but again mostly for Underdark Awaits.

The site is back up. Last chance to lock in a spot in advance of the con.

And that should be it until the con starts. Looking at the site, you can still add events to a wish list, but from the wish list there is no longer an option to add them to your cart, so it does look like preregistration is now closed. It does look like the ability to return a ticket for credit is still active, so I guess some tickets could be returned over the next 3 weeks, but nothing can be purchased until the start of the Con on November 4.

There was one minor schedule adjustment as the 11pm Grind event on Friday ran past the Con closing time. Participants were moved into the 10pm run, but I understand some of them may be switching to the 6pm run. That won't impact totals.

Here are final preregistration sales totals. Personally, I think TD did very well and adding the 2nd run was justified.

The 11PM won't affect totals but it would slightly affect percentages as there are 10 less tickets out of the total pool.

If anyone could not be in the 10pm grind or any other grind they will get a refund I imagine so that would affect numbers slightly too.

That all said, I want to thank you again for putting the numbers out there. I would give you a cookie if I could.

Thanks Dave for the numbers. Looks like there will be big Underdark Awaits bubbles on Friday.

I wonder how many will sell onsite. I could see Saturday selling out. There will probably be people who don't know TD is there or what it is until they see it. Word of mouth will help too from the people who run Friday.

Well that's disappointing, I though we still had this evening to get tickets.

I don't know if this is the correct place to post this question, but I am a first time attendee ata GameHoleCon. When I ordered my tickets there was not an option to have them mailed to me... do we have to pick them up at the convention? I have an early Friday dungeon run and don't think I could arrive early enough Friday to stand in a very long line and still make my dungeon run.

I arrive Thursday around 6 pm...

Can someone who knows the ins and outs of GameHoleCon give me hint or advice on what I should do to get the tickets?

Thanks

For the last two years this is what I observed.

Thursday afternoon they usually allow badge pickup. Not sure what time they close though.

On Friday they open at 7am for badge pickup.

The line moves quickly though.

There is a seperate line for purchase of new event tickets than there is for badge pickup.
