Did the price spike? I saw rooms were like $180 when I was looking over the weekend before taxes and fees.



Bastards. Wish there was a way to rat them out and cancel their tickets :( I bought a single floor ticket and will use my single floor ticket.

143/night

670 for the whole trip

At least the commentors got it right. Down vote that shit.

Edit: When making reservations, don't use the website. Call the hotel and talk to the people at the desk, you can usually get a better price.

AirBNB and Hostelbookers are pretty good for people looking for cheap rooms.

I am so upset right now guys. I wasn't fast enough. I called Key Arena, I held my place, I refreshed first at 2"59"56, then 3:00:00 and told everyone while it was loading, I was logged in on one browser and loaded up on 2 others + mobile.
It wasn't enough.

At least we can make a cool section in GA now I guess.

Next year I will setup an automacro.

I'm just very happy I got a ticket at all. Considering myself very lucky.

GA is where the party is.

Someone on Reddit said the tickets did in fact go on sale 35 seconds early

I wonder how many floor seats they had to begin with.... ESports instantly sells out the key arena.

Looking at the charts, I think its easily under 1000.

So, who all got them, and did anyone pick up spares? Someone should start up a google doc.

I wonder if Dreams got one.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Valve is basically outsourcing the promotion of their games to their fans at this point.

Like if game companies contracted the 20 page OTs you see on Gaming Side.

Must have been a different place then, no way would the price go down.

I'm paying about that after taxes and fees but at a location about a mile from the event. I don't mind walking :)

Im 0.1 miles, 2 minute walk to key arena front entrance.

Hazaro, Milkman, maybe this will interest you guys? VIP Suite of 32 being set up - comes to about $322 (pls no trollerino) per person, includes parking, internet, covers entirety of event.

I saw it and no. Thanks for sharing though.
VIP Suites are too high up and usually at the far back of the event and removed from the loudness of the crowd.
Plus you have to trust some random guy with not just your money, but CC and billing info.

Nice for some some mid season BasketBall game, but not TI4 or any eSports major imo.

Yeah, I've stayed in suites for hockey games, they are nice to wine and dine clients since they have a 5 star menu, but to sit there with 31 other people at GA level heights doesn't really make sense

I'd rather have companies make their own stuff, but I know Valve is pretty tiny compared to other studios. Though of course there are tons of talented people outside studios that make good stuff too.

But still, the way they do it, everybody wins. Valve gets money, community gets money and it all increases the lifespan of the community as well. It's pretty smart.

I'm not really complaining about it, because the way I see it, this interconnectivity brings the community closer together. I just thought it was worth pointing out.
