TMR Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Get onto the National Express mailing list, they occasionally do Fun Fare promotions and i booked a trip from Leeds to Kent and back as four single tickets for under £25 a few days ago. That sounds yummy, can i've some of that, there again, as with the train cack, i bet you have to book in advance That £25 booked last weekend is for use next Wednesday so not very much in advance, no. But like i said, it was a special offer and the deal has ended so keeping an eye on the Nat Express mailing list for the next one is worth doing.

andym00 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Just up the road from me! We'll have to get drunk and make arses of ourselves. Really ? I thought you were near Manchester for some strange reason, no idea why I thought that though.. But cool, and also I guess I'll be in the land of cheap Peroxide then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMR Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Bit of news about Play, it looks like there'll be myself, James at RGCD and a chap from Finland running the indie/homebrew section between us. i'm going to try scraping together the money for some "comedy" t-shirts to make myself easy to spot (although a six foot tall blonde bloke with long hair who looks pregnant does stand out a little) so it should be relatively easy to locate me/us at midday on the Saturday as snicklin suggested. Hopefully this time i won't need the bloody sunglasses all weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svenski Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 The guys at Replay Events have kindly offered discounted tickets if we can get a group of ten or more people together to attend the Play Expo. Tickets will be discounted by 10%, without any online booking fee that might otherwise apply. If there are any AA Atari enthusiasts that are interested in getting together at the event then let me know. Atari User will also be running a competition to give away a pair of tickets, again courtesy of Replay Events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tezz Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I've not got around to ordering my tickets yet. How much is the ticketline booking fee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezz Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I'm planning to bring along at least one of the A8 games that I've been working on.Depending on whether there's anything to see yet or not, could you bring them all along? Even if they're not playable, it'd be good to see what may be released later.Yea, no worries, I'll get stuff together to bring along. Hopefully one of which will be a completed project.

snicklin Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 I've not got around to ordering my tickets yet. How much is the ticketline booking fee? I think that it was £2. I've been looking forward to the show so much that I didn't want to risk it and buy tickets on the day, when they may be sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svenski Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 If we can get a group together then Replay will make sure we all get to meet up at a certain time and talk Atari over (hopefully) a beer or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, from the list and also one more game project that I've not listed. @svenski: add me to the list too, I'll be there both days. How will you arrange the tickets?

svenski Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 If we can get the 10 or more (hopefully reasonably quickly), then we can sort out with Replay the tickets for everyone directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an Atari game based dream last night (the graphics were amazing but realistic for an Atari), hopefully one of my dreams tonight will be about one of the above named games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
