Star Wars Celebration Europe 3 - July 15th - 17th 2016

Without a doubt it was bullshit. What it's done is justify them selling more single day tickets rather than the 3 day passes, effectively hiking the price. By "selling out" of the three day passes and then single days they've achieved two things; firstly incentivized people to buy their tickets NOW rather than in 3 or 4 months time and secondly it's caused people to believe there's a shortage of tickets so they buy all three single days whether they intend to go to all 3 days or, perhaps, only 2. The thinking being they're not sure exactly which days they'll be able to make so buy all 3 now rather than waiting to firm up their dates only to find them sold out. It's a cynical ploy and it's worked well.

That said, I'm bloody chuffed to have all three tickets in the bag and I'm intending on going all three days. I won't miss the £20 extra it cost and wild horses will not keep me away from standing in those queues!!!

Got the Sunday ticket amid all the online queuing and sweating it out last night.
Confirmed the Friday after booking that day off work.
So, the opening and closing days for me so well-chuffed.

 

[spoons]

got Saturday ones to go with my Sunday lot, but I'm quite pissed off as I've had to pay adult prices for my lad - if I'd known more adult tickets would have been on sale I'd have bought him a child ticket when that's all that was left :x

but - chuffed to be making a weekend of it

 

[SublevelStudios]

Friday and Saturday booked now

The Midland Boys will be in attendance...

We need a 2016 version of the last CE tee shirt - a few more names on the back of it this time

 

[SublevelStudios]

Happy do come up with a design if everyone wants one.

Definitely up for that!

 

[Dorsetmark]

You could count me in

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Sign me up, please, Mark

 

[Mr-shifter]

Plus one, although given the quality of marks work, dependant on the design and size of run I would potentially take a spare as well to keep.

 

[Ren Solo]

Count me in for a shirt too. Not a prolific poster on here but regular reader and looking forward to any meet ups planned.

 

[Joe]

Sounds good Mark, will you do a generic design or is it possible to add names to each shirt? (Your own name obviously not everyones! lol)

 

[SublevelStudios]

Was there one generic design last time, with everyones name on there? On the back?

I think one design with all the names one?

Small logo top left on the front and the names/design on the back? On white? Screenprinted?

 

[SAVORY100]

Totally in for a T-shirt with one of Mark's designs on; the boy's got serious skills! 8)

If I remember rightly the 2007 one had all the names of those attending on the back..although to be fair, there was only about 7 people :lol:

 

[SublevelStudios]

Okay, if you want your own name only on a shirt then it's as well to have them transfer printed - I know someone who can do this.

Cheaper and easier to peronsalise but not as good as screenprinted.

If we want one generic design, and depending on how many want shirts, then screenprinted is the way to go.

I will post up a design soon, and let's see what you all think...

(and thanks for the kind comments chaps I hope to do it justice)

 

[Mr-shifter]

Transfer t shirts are crap. A vote here for screen printed.

 

[robpmarsh]

I'd be up for a shirt if this goes ahead

Gonna be at all 3 days

 

[mr_palitoy]

Up for a t shirt. The first one had all the names on the back. Happy with that again.

Cheers Jason

Screen printed and some cheap name labels it is then Don't think the names on the back is a must, far too many attending this time around - we will all need magnifying glasses to read them. :lol:
