Well I think most of you know this is happening but because I'm rubbish I never really totally comnfirmed anything, except maybe to some of the guys I was chatting with at Regents Rumble. Anyways, this is definitely on. Sorry for the wait.

Basically, this time around we won't be having a fullscale tourney. If you want to compete between yourselves I can draw up a few RR grids while we're there but we won't be having a large tourney like last time. It'll be mainly freebattles and then for newbies, demos, explanations, etc. We need to make people feel welcome, chat to them and battle with them, etc. Grin

Then, probably on the Saturday 3 weeks after the tourney, we'll have a tournament at Regents Park. Hopefully, we'll have got some new people interested at the Expo and might get a bigger turn out for this time around, but even if we don't then it'll still be nice to see everyone again and get some battles in. Can anyone who's interested PM or post here whether they can make that date? It'd be the 14th November. Also, any suggestions for tourney names and such are welcome. XD

If you have restrictions and think you'll only be able to make one event then I'd suggest trying to make the tourney. However, I still want to see as many people as possible at the Expo because we'll have loads of fun and battles there too and I need you guys to help spread the Beyword. Wink

This is the attendance list so far, question marks next to those who I'm not totally sure about or who said they were coming but didn't specify a day. I kinda assumed people were coming on the Staurday as that's normally the busiest day but I could be wrong so if you're coming on the Sunday or even both days then let me know!

And can we try not to spam up this thread too much? I know you guys are pretty chatty and that can't be helped but I don't want people to have to sift through pages of meaningless chatter to find out what's happening. Pinching_eyes_2

I'm going bought my tickets ages ago but but because of the stupid postal strike here in london they havn't got here yet.
Seeing as I'm new this'll be my first BB event so I'm really excited.
Good to hear it! I'm suprised your suffering so badly. My mail came from London and I got mine fine...

Just let MCM know if you don't get your tickets!

They should also have a map appearing on the website within the coming week. So keep your eyes peeled. I will post here as soon as they do, if nobody else does in the mean time.
So is everyone going for the early entry tickets then?

What are the queues like to buy regular entry tickets on the door? I'm thinking of getting the early entry tickets just to avoid the queues; the prices aren't that much more expensive.
The queues are stupid on the day. Buy Early entry, well worth it. You get in an hour to 2 hours earlier than regular entry.
Argh need to order those ticketsssssssssss
I'll be there to chat but I won't play much. Just looking forward to seeing you guys really.

Oh, and it's always packed and stifling hot inside so I tend to go talk to people outside, hence I might not be indoors for too long.

Thank you Espio! I will try and keep an eye out for a map that will help people get to our event but since you're intending to post it as soon as you see one that's even better. Getting Early Entry tickets is definitely worth it because you don't have to queue for ages just to get in plus you have more time to look around. This is going to be my second Expo (and second time getting Early Entry tickets for it) but the first WBO event I have attended. I'm really looking forward to taking part and meeting some of you there!
I'm going to come with the possibility of two friends, i don't know if they're coming or not but i'll certainly be coming.
Is there anything you want me to put up on BeyUK.net? If there is any imagery like last time. Just holla!
how much are tickets? is anyone getting a taxi i might come with you if you are then we go halves on the fare? if not i wont come

Also, can't you make your own way there? There's a DLR station right next to it, pretty much dedicated to the venue.
How much is entry fee for london expo event and whattime do you have to be there?

But unless you've got early tickets,the lines will be very long. However, they will still be quick, if you're lucky and/or early enough.

Anyway, i wish good luck and a safe journey to anyone who either coming and if you're not, the usual of someone recording the event will make you less left out.
KidTala said last time they were quick, so hmmmm... but early entry rules because you can walk through everyone like a VIP xD
