gatecon 2004

[Gatecon]

Really, I honestly can't say. Richard is the one who collates that data.

But he did mention a while ago that comparing ticket sales to this time last year we are about even. I'm not sure what that means for ticket sales at this point in time or how sales have gone since he said that.

I *Think* sales are at about 2/3 of what we sold last year (but with 5 months left for sales.. and remembering that the con is 2 months earlier)

 

[timdgreat]

wow, its gonna be a full con,

makes not to self, blue M&Ms:rolly2:

 

[ShelbyS]

Are you going to get up at 6am and line up with us Tim?

 

[timdgreat]

wake up, what is this concept u speak of


im gonna be awake all night in line:rolly2:

 

[Aardie]

Something tells me that us staying up all night will be an issue for the hotel staff....

Me? I'm going to be up early because I won't be able to sleep! LOL! Shelby will be wondering where I am. But I am sorry - I need to be somewhere between Rows 1-5. I didn't pay several thousands of dollars to sit up the friggin' back! Besides - I haveta wave at Amanda! *winks at Shelbs - if I have the courage that is....*

Ah that's insane! I don't think Aardie is even that eager. Haha. So should we expect you to be a walking Zombie by the end of the con?

 

[timdgreat]

lol, heck no, my freind mr caffine will help me stay awake:rolly2:

 

[ShelbyS]

Now that I have to see.

 

[Aardie]

Who needs caffiene when you have TACOS?! heh heh heh ..... You wanta join the Taco Feast, Tim?

 

[honeymiel1]

I just got my confirmation

I just got my confirmation of my super pass ticket. It 319 or something. Is that good? ANd even if I have a good ticket, do I need to wait in line all night ?? Really? DOes anyone of you know what star has confirm for the conv. I hope AManda comes.

 

[philoSCIFI]

319!? Woohoo! I'm getting close...pull out them M&M's! What were the bets and bids again? :rolly2:
Over 300 people are going to be at the con. I don't think you'll have to wait ALL night, but if you wanna get good seats and whatnot, you wanna get there early (from what I hear). Aardie...did I hear the word "TACOS"?

And, yes...any confirmation on who's coming yet?
::begin hyperventalating....now:: Anticipation will be the death of me.

 

[timdgreat]

lol taco fest with pepsi Aardie, and ur on:rolly2:

 

[Aardie]

Tacos with Pepsi? Hmm .... may haveta organise that .... Do you want fries with that? *grins an evil grin*

 

[philoSCIFI]

"bets"

Was talking with a few people... if no one minds, I'd like to change my gatecon goer population estimate to 475 at the least. :rolly2:

But seriously, Does anyone think there will be 500 people this year?

 

[Rowan]

Guesstimate

500 easy. No Sweat. We're still a little over 5 months out.

Rowan

 

[philoSCIFI]

Pulling from Rowan's sig...

Let the adventure begin! Anyway, tickets began selling in September? 4 months already...already 300+? Oh yeah, "Let the adventure begin!"

 

[Aardie]

I think 500 will be easy. After ya pay off all of the Xmas bills, and that mandatory Ab-Swing that you had to get because you gained so much weight over the holiday season ... I think people will scrape up enough money by March (not to mention be at a comfortable weight to actually board a plane!) to get in on the action that is Gatecon! HEEE!

Personally? I was anxious and nervous a few days ago about "Oh dear! The last time I went to a convention I needed a day to recover! ARGH!" but I think this will be fun because it is like, the pinnacle of Stargate conventions! *grins*

 

[Rowan]

LOL!

That's my thinking. And I won't be surprised at 600 either. I got a lot of faith in this.

Why, thank you kindly! We like to think so.

Oh you should all be very darn proud! I am already being told that I have to go NEXT year! But, alas, one trip is all I get. This is my 21st birthday bash! lol!

Now .... entertainment night, Rowan .... SHOULD I bring my flute? *evil evil grin*

 

[timdgreat]
