250 Free Tickets! (https://www.futurecompetitions.com/gamershowdown/Default.asp)

If you're quick, you might still be able to bag a pair. I got two, Trigger got two, so did Hutch. They're day tickets to go down and see the exhibition and play FIFA 09, Mirror's Edge and Valve's Left 4 Dead before any one else. Anyway, it's quite a trip, and tickets are only £7.50 anyway, not sure if i'll go yet.

EDIT: Here ya go Ez64

Coming (please confirm when you know):
- Phantom
- Trigger
- Ez64
- Marshy
- Chalex4

[ez64]

Signed up worth doing.

Ive got tickets now Ill probably be there, ATK meet up?

[Calneon]

Yup definately up for a meetup, would be stupid not to xD.

[Marshy]

Yep i have 2 tickets a meet up is in order

+ a mate for me

COD 5 WILL BE THERE!!!

[ez64]

Nice, maybe phantom edit his post for a list of people that are maybe/definatly coming?

+1 ill be coming and see if I can drag a mate along.

[Chalex4]

Wow, I got 2 tickets :). So, it's on the 27-28th September at Stoneleigh Park, NICE!!!! I think going to both days would be over the top, so we are going to need to say which day.

I just hope those tickets arrive lol.

[ez64]

I start my second year at uni on the 29th this is perfect :D

Maybe the saturday as sunday is genrally packing up day?


ps: ty phantom, although it only needs atk member's :p

[Marshy]

ar the saturday will be easyer but the sunday will be quieter?

[VoX]

I'll pass on this, unfair to make a mate drive all the way down to Stoneleigh and back if I was going to spend most of time with ATK.

Come on i37!

[Vicious Horizon]

I might go, depends on the parents really, doubt they'll drive me up there for a day to meet people I don't know by face and play games all day XD

[ez64]

Poor effort guys.

[Chazlene]

Right, Hutch got two free tickets, but he can't go since he's doing some shooting thing, so he's giving them to me, but I don't know who the second person's gonna be yet.

Sunday will probably be better for Chalex and I, since we have school on Saturday mornings and therefore wouldn't have much time at Stoneleigh if we went on the first day.

[ez64]

School on a saturday *snigger's*

Sunday it is then?

[Calneon]

Sunday is also better for me, as saturday is not an option anymore because I'm going to the Royal Holloway Uniniversity open day on saturday. Plus it will be quieter (he says) than saturday, so more chance to play Left 4 Dead!

[Chazlene]

Games I'm most excited about are Far Cry 2 and Dawn of War 2, and if they have Empire:Total War there... I'll probably hyperventilate and faint.

[Vicious Horizon]

Wow, My dad says I can go ^^, I guess Sunday is good for everyone else, and I'm free then. I'll see if I can get some tickets :D

(Btw, before you actually find me there, I AM 15, I LOOK 10, BUT I AM 15!!!!)

[ez64]

dont worry im 18 and look 15 :D

[ez64]

Ticket's just arrived :D

Much better quality than the i34 ones and it's those little things that make the difference.

[Calneon]

My tickets just came too, and yeah they are good quality.

I think the current situation is:

Attendance
Phantom
Trigger
Chalex
Ez64
Chazlene
Vicious Horizon

Tickets
Phantom (2)
Trigger (2)
Chalex (2)
Marshy (2)
Chazlene/Hutch (2)
Ez64 (2)
---
12

So that's 12 tickets for 6 attendees, me and Trigger have a mate/two that might want to come, plus Ez64's mate (possibly). More than enough tickets, can we get some others interested, does Oric want to come?

[ez64]

I dont mind giving out my other ticket to ATK member's.

[Marshy]

Chaz likes vg cats im so happy!

Anyway i will be comming the sam day as you lot

[ez64]

Ive got ticket number 15 and 16 :D anyone beat me with 1?

[Paper Tiger]

Omg, I actually won a pair of tickets! lol
I'm taking my girlfriend and going on the Saturday :)

So maybe see some of ya there!

EDIT: I have tickets 9 and 10 XD

[Colonel Mitch]

im interested but want to no more about whats actually going on. i could look online myself..... but im lazy... :D
anyone care to elaborate?? ;)

also it depends on how cheaply i can get there and back as nobody else seems to live in the north west of england.

[Colonel Mitch]

just been looking and i cant get directly back home from it coz the bus doesnt go to ulverston on sundays but a return journey as close as i can get would be £55, and on the train it was about £65. I can drive it for less than both of those :P

Its very tempting but would be much happier if somebody else wanted to split the costs.... ***cough*** FREDDIE ***cough***

EDIT:
Freddie's having a large noobfest so he cant go.... nikki, you interested? :P

Also does a single ticket cover both saturday and sundy? As a 3 or 4 hour drive either way isnt really worth just a few hours there....

[ez64]

It only covers one day per ticket :( but you can use 2 tickets for yourself :D

[Colonel Mitch]

yeah could do if some are going to waste but that would restrict anyone else i bring to having to pay if there arent enough tickets spare. If i cant find someone else to go with i dont think ill; go coz itll cost about £50 for petrol and jsut to spectate its not really worth it:P

[Frost Wraith]

ill look in to it i dont see why not i should have money tbh for then jst wont be out next 2 weeks XD but u would have to get my ticket for me piers and i give u money bk as i wud nt have clue bout getting it XD
:)

[Colonel Mitch]

ok well in that case that would be me and nikki coming down for saturday AND sunday.
How many tickets are availible?

[ez64]

1 from moi if its needed.

[CILLIT BANG]

id like 2 go just need 2 scrounge moneh .. il pay it back *points at nikki* *nikki shakes head* *freddie mugs nikki* sounds like a plan

ps no ticket lolz cba getin em

[Vicious Horizon]

Not that I'm a cheapskate or anything, but if ez can sort me out with a ticket that'd be awesome. But if someone else is in more need for it give it to them XD

[ez64]

Star trek style fight to the death for the ticket?

[Colonel Mitch]

I dont mind paying for the second day if i have too :)

exactly how many tickets do we have spare?

[ez64]

If there giving them away I cannot imagine much £5-10 max.

[Colonel Mitch]

there £7.50 i believe but im asing how many do we have to give away?

[ez64]

1 defo from me so far.

[Vicious Horizon]

you don't have to :P I was just askin' a favour XD

[Calneon]

You can possibly grab a spare from me and Trigger, one of ours is for a friend.

[Chazlene]

How many do we have to give away?

I should have a spare if you want one Mitch, since I'm getting mine from Hutch who can't go and I can't find anyone else who wants to or can go.

[Colonel Mitch]

yeah hutch offerd me the other 1 he has. - its jsut that if im going with nikki for 2 days well need to know how many tickets to buy unless there are 4 availible.

[Colonel Mitch]

Okay it looks like me n nikki will be coming and slumph might be 2 now well sort out tickets when slumph confirms if he can or not and well decide how to share em.

[Colonel Mitch]

oh yeah now that im going anyone who would like to stay both days but doesnt want to take their own tent and camp - theres plenty of space in The Mitch's 8 man mini house and projection cinema room

[Paper Tiger]

Change of plan, it'll be the Sunday now, 'cos I'm playing hockey on the Sat. Dunno how we're getting there though...

EDIT: Depending on how much it'll cost to get there, depends if we go or not... It doesn't look too likely that we'll be going 'cos it'll cost so much. I shall confirm with the other half today and post up. Will be willing to pass tickets on to another ATK member if they want them. Likely hood is we don't go. So, who would want them?

EDIT2: It's gonna cost us about £55 each to get there, so no way. Anyone interested in the tickets? Need to know ASAP so I can post.

[ez64]

You can share a lift with me Paper if you put a little towards deisel it helps a lot and the cost wont be too much and there will be 5 seats in the car since we dont have monster pc's to take :D

[Paper Tiger]

Cheers for the offer dude, the the misses had made up her mind and wants to do something else now.

Tickets going if anyone wants :)

[Colonel Mitch]

in that case we could use em as there shud b 3 of us going for 2 days xD - and you have to post my mobile broadband dongle to me anyway =]

[Paper Tiger]

True. I'll get the parental unit to sort that out tomorrow or Monday.

[VoX]

Hehe, dongle :p.

[Colonel Mitch]

Okay, whose going on what days and what time are people arriving?

[Calneon]

Sunday, and I don't know yet. Not even sure how i'm gonna get there.

[Vicious Horizon]

Ok, so no free tickets. I'm trying to hurry the 'rents into buying the tickets as I don't have the bloody credit card >_<

Hope tickets come in time...

[Bloo]

I might be going! Still the problem of a ride there and back though.

(Chalex... uhh.. can I have a ride? :p)

[ez64]

Just had to have the car checked out again,

Need's a new ECU, Alternator belt, Fuel Filter and engine cleaning run through :(

Payed for it all and hopefully it will be done in time, will keep you updated.


If the car is done Ill be coming for both days.


Bottom line never get a french or english car even if its free.

[Frost Wraith]

okay i think i am going with piers nd slumph and that we will be comeing for bout well the hole weekend :P i gess god college is boring so fourm time ftw XD i wanna play brother in arms also i played it at i34 and like it XD

[ez64]

Cars done so Ill be down for both days.

[Vicious Horizon]

Unless I can get tickets at the door, I can't get there =/ Sorry guys :(

[ez64]

You will be able to buy on the door.

[Vicious Horizon]

Yeah, i got the e-mail just after I posted that. So I will be coming. But another problem arises, how will I know who you are xD and what time are you guys going to be there for? I could wander round from 9 but, guh, I guess it'll sort itself out xD

[Chazlene]

Post your mobile number in this thread Vicious, you can find ours in the i34 thread. Then we can phone each other up when we get there and find each other.

[Calneon]

Me and Trigger (plus a friend) should be getting a lift from Trigger's dad so we need to know what time on Sunday everone is planning to be there, obviosly we'll have mobiles so we can get together but we don't want to be there two hours before or after you xD.

[ez64]

Remove the h (anti bot)

[Chalex4]

Unfortunately it looks like I will not be going to this :(. I just have way too much stuff to do this weekend, and cannot afford to lose a day.

Make sure you take lots of videos and pics and post them here afterwards!

[ez64]

Got my camera phone thats quite good in natural sun light but I doubt we will be seeing much of that :D

[Calneon]

Aww thats a shame Chalex, oh well, i'm sure you'll hav fun doing whatever you're doing :D.

[ez64]

[Vicious Horizon]

[Chazlene]

Bloo, Friend of Wander and I should get there around 10:30, I'll be taking Chalex's place and filming some shit. Do you think wearing our ATK shirts is a little sad?

[Calneon]

Do you think wearing our ATK shirts is a little sad?
Probably. Also, me and Trigger (plus friend) might not be going because Trigger's dad's car got b0rked.

[ez64]

lol screw you guys, im the only one with the atk shirt :D

[Marshy]

Im at the 4kings stand but cant find anyone there x.x

[Calneon]

[Chazlene]

Im at the 4kings stand but cant find anyone there x.x

Oh shit, sorry Marshy, forgot you were coming. :/

I've already been and gone...

Thought you knew what I looked like from the 'Post Pictures of Yourself' thread?

[Chalex4]

That's a shame Phantom and Trigger, now you know how I feel :(.

So Chazlene, and everyone else, how was it? I recommend posting pics/vids in a new thread, since this one is becoming rather long.

[Marshy]

I did see you chaz but you were with people i diddent know so i diddent want to come over and be like HAI IM MARSHY!!!! and everyone think you were weird.. i played xbox by you so you may have seen me, short with blonde hair and black t-shirt with a guy who was in a green striped shirt.
