Looks very impressive!

My wife, little girl, and myself are coming on at least one of the days, either the Sunday or the Saturday.

Unfortunately I will not be there to run all night gaming this year, hope someone else decides to however it's the best IMO. Roleplaying and brews YES!

You're kidding. Again? Why do they hassle you so much.

Cool. Drop by the gaming section and say hi.

Hey! Um, etherlad directed me here after I posted a question about FanExpo/GX ticketing to my own journal. I think we've met in the Frantics comm before.

It's my first year going to FanExpo and I don't have the slightest idea how the ticketing system works. One pass covers all the expos, right? And I understand the different tiers of passes, but when I've looked at the TicketMaster website, the passes are branded to each seperate expo. Does it really matter which of the branded passes I buy?

It makes no diference, they all get you access to all events that aren't exclusive.

However, I would consider it a favour if you bought the gaming pass, as there can never be too many gaming passes sold.

Tell your friends!

Thanks for clearing that up.

I have two friends who were confused by this too. Time to buff your numbers by three. XD
