talie Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I will love you forever (I do already ) just more so if you bring back buying the tickets at the event Camping out MADE the event something special <3 I made some awesome friends through it (nicky, sass n sammy) and it just gave the event a bit more magic..... and there wasn't the panic of having to buy them early!

fanggirl Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 sounds to me like people want to just save money on 1 night at the hotel by staying up all night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InYourHonour Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I'm sure it was fun, but it's prbably unrealistic, unless the time between ET4 and ET5 is massive, because they need to start trying to get guests asap due to other commitments, and costs, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Ragamuffin Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I have plus sides for both getting them at the event it was easier and abit more fair you knew what ticket number you would have where as online its all just luck who gets through first where as getting them online I loved staying in bed those extra few hours and it meant I could stay at saturdays party longer!

kegan5 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Nah, getting up at a hideous hour isn't overly convenient and for those who have to work on monday, staying up all night or getting up really early on a Sunday isn't really that nice. I guess there are pros and cons, if the only reason people like the Sunday system is because they make friends I'm sure we could organise something else to meet new people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz5490 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I was wondering if paying for ticketsin advance could work but then camping out for your actual number at the con cos I freaking loved the camp out at ET2 it really was brill CURLY WURLY COOKIES!

kegan5 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Wait curly curly cookies? I may have to retract my previous post! lol x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xkleex Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 While it seems fun, it also seems a waste of money.... its not really a cheap hotel and to pay to sit in a corridor all night seems like a contradiction.....:S But thats just me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myself205 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 don't really like the idea of camping out for the tickets, easier to buy online. not everybody is fit enough to stay up all night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchthesky Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 For me..being ten hours away...it's a bit useless lol. I wouldn't go to ET5 if I had to camp to get tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Chelsea_ Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 But you don't have to camp out really...You can still just go to buy some at some point during the day or wait til you get home to book online, there'd be an option to keep everyone happy :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Kirst Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 You dont HAVE to camp out... I got mine for ET3 after mid day at Et2 and I was quite a low (Standard) number so like... it's just fun for the people who want to. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xkleex Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 People who wanted gold and didn't want to camp out wud be forced to tho or else risk not getting a ticket they wanted. I just can't see the plus side apart from socialising, and isn't that what the whole weekends for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Chelsea_ Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 But isn't there always a risk of not getting the ticket you want really? I mean I know tickets in the online shop generally last longer but it still doesn't mean you'll get the ticket you set your sights on. And plus I guess you don't have to queue up all night, I bet you could join the queue even just an hour or so before tickets went on sale and still get the the ticket you wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xkleex Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 (edited) But isn't there always a risk of not getting the ticket you want really?

And plus I guess you don't have to queue up all night, I bet you could join the queue even just an hour or so before tickets went on sale and still get the the ticket you wanted oh yeah I know wot ur saying, but like someone else said earlier some people can't stay up all night, or may have little ones, or may not even stay at the hotel. Why should those people have a greater risk than the rest of e people wanting tickets? If u want a good ticket aka golds u wud be forced to stay up and for some people that's not an option. I'm sure sm stopped this method for a reason... Edited March 26, 2010 by Team Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Chelsea_ Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Aye I know exactly what you mean about people not being able to stay up...Myself, I've never done this before but if it were ever brought back I shouldn't really stay up all night for it, but I think I'd be insane enough to lol :| But I don't think gold or silver have ever sold out at the actual event for a Twilight convention? Don't quote me on that though...I'm not certain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 They only stopped it because they needed to get some money in advance for one of the cons. I don't think there's any chance of anyone actually missing out - there are never 150+ people insane enough to stay up all night, and not everyone's getting gold - as long as a prospective gold pass holder gets down to the desk first thing Sunday they're pretty much guaranteed a ticket. Of course this depends on guest announcements - if say, Rob was announced, then yes you'd probably have to stay up for a gold . . . I think it's just another bit of fun myself, and though I understand the arguments against it I think it's worth reinstating, if only for another chance to squeeze every drop of fun and silliness from the cons.

MrsTwilight Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Id totally be up for this, some of us stayed up all night at ET3 and it personally gave that edge to my weekend and made amazing friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talie Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 sounds to me like people want to just save money on 1 night at the hotel by staying up all night Nooo Nooo it's not that lmao ;3 we still had our hotel booked/paid for! Nah, getting up at a hideous hour isn't overly convenient and for those who have to work on monday, staying up all night or getting up really early on a Sunday isn't really that nice. I guess there are pros and cons, if the only reason people like the Sunday system is because they make friends I'm sure we could organise something else to meet new people It was the saturday night You dont HAVE to camp out... I got mine for ET3 after mid day at Et2 and I was quite a low (Standard) number so like... it's just fun for the people who want to. xD ^^^ Aye only those who camped ALL night got tickets say 1-15? gold, after that people had got there about 5/6am.... and then it still didnt sell out!
