me and some guys of our league are thinking about attending next years bloodbowl... being new to this tourny i have a question:

How can i get tickets for the event? i've heard that it was pretty difficult to get them? when do they go on sale?

As I said, it's all provisional info, but I think the "ticket on sale" date is on the link I provided. Then it's just a case of trying to get through to Mail Order to get the tickets.

If memory serves (

) Don't they usually go on sale the Saturday of the Dutch Open?

I don't think there's problems apart from GW mail order being constantly engaged.

But only about 190 attended last year so availability shouldn't be a problem

I spect a lot of drop outs from the spanish side...(almost 30 last year)...so it'll be plenty of space available

Let's change the date of the Dutch Open to august!

But yes, usually that's when a lot of Bloodbowl Players are using their CellPhone in a very nervous fashing and hell breaks loose when they receive an sms that they are in.

You'd be foolish to count on it. They do sell out and in all likelihood the reason we don't see a full 200 attendees probably has more to do with last minute events preventing those people going or them simply forgetting.

And, for the lazy people, the ticket sales date in the link is 10 February 2007.

well my ticket was 190 last year and I bought mine in April

So looks like we do have to move the dates of the DO,
Indigo would be one happy man

If any of you guys are members of GCN registered gaming clubs, don't forget that your club account would let you order tickets a week early. That's one of the main benefits of being in the GCN actually - that and GW letting you put on displays at their events, cheaper Public Liability insurance, etc.

there's benefits to the GCN when we looked into it It seemed too much like GW empire building and very little benefit to clubs
