Fan fest promo codes.

Anyone else not get thier fan feat ticket code? I'm so nervous about getting a ticket and I still haven't got the email.

I was confused about this, did you need to apply somewhere to get the promo code?
Or is it sent to all active players? Or only a few?

It was sent to players who's subscription have been active no later than june 26th. You don't have to sign up or anything just be registered with an active subscription to ffxiv. I've received mine, They are sending them out everyday. I wouldn't panic.

Now is a perfectly good time to be concerned since today and Monday are the only days left where people are in the US offices. I know that of the 9 people I have asked no one has received theirs so idk what's going on.

both me and my wife got our emails on 7/1. Would think you should have it by now :(

If I don't get one by Monday... I'm gonna freak out,

Ah thank you!

I hope I get mine soon then, too! ):

Not really, they said everyone with an active subscription would get one. Drowning yourself in a glass of water. The day still isn't over yet and you don't know if they have plans to automatically send them out over the weekend via auto mail or something….

Greetings,

All of the emails have been sent out and should have been received by now.
If you're an active North American FFXIV subscriber and did not receive your code, it's possible that it was blocked as spam by your email service provider, or it may have bounced as an inactive email address (We sent it to the email marked as "Email Address 1" on the Mog Station).

However, if you meet the criteria of being an active NA FFXIV account holder, please contact our Support Center and they can assist you! Visit the Support Center here and select "Pre-game Inquiries" for the Contact Category and "Registration Code" for the Contact Sub-category.

Do we get anything in game for registering?

"Each Fan Festival ticket bearer will receive a select number of goodies at the event, including an in-game item (details to be announced later). Please note however that these items will not be shipped and can only be received at the event itself."

So not for registering, but for actually going to the fan fest.

pft... only the wealthy can afford to go to this. awesome job Sqaure Enix... the richer keep getting richer. ><

I what bath one said and contacted support. I got mine now

not sure if serious

Unless you live in Las Vegas, the travel and lodging costs will outweigh the actual event registration fee by a factor of at least 5-to-1. The ticket price (which is fairly reasonable regardless, given the cost associated with putting on an event of this scale) is a drop in the bucket compared with the total expense involved in a trip like this. Even if the tickets were free, it'd still be a pretty expensive proposition to go there.

Well shoot guess I'm out. If OP can actually go I'll donate mine if they haven't gotten one.

*Looks like she did, have fun!

If you use a gmail for your primary account email, check your promotions tab. That's where I found mine.

I didn't get one but I can't go to fanfest anyway so it doesn't matter then I have Comcast and they often block emails. The same thing happened to me during the beta for Legacy players they blocked my beta email. So I was like yea guess I should change my email on my SE account to something that isn't Comcast incase I miss other emails sent out by SE. If you have a @Comcast.net email they block anything they deem spam and you never even see it in your inbox.

Dunno about this. I'm a college student, and I work at a job where I make ok money. I'm not at all wealthy, but booking the trip at the right place and even the flight can save you a tons of money. I'm saving up to go, so far I've managed to afford the hotel and have saved a bit for the tickets. :( My wallet will cry once it's all over, but if it's something you really wanna do it's worth it. It's the only vacation I'll get to take this year at any rate.

Umm...This is not a new thing SE is doing by any means.

You get digital content for attending both Blizzcon and SOE Live each year.

Where do we apply the code?

This. But then again the term "expensive" is very subjective. I don't look at $1000 being that expensive, because when I take vacations I normally save much more than that; others might see that number and squee in disgust.

Flights to Vegas are normally subsidized and are extremely cheap. In fact, Vegas is one of the cheapest places to fly in the US because the casinos pay premiums to the airline companies so the tickets to get there are as cheap as can be. Obviously they want all your other money ;)

You also don't have to stay on the strip. You can find a much cheaper hotel that isn't connected to a casino and commute to the Rio for the days of the festival.

Me and my cousin looked it up and we shouldn't have to spend more than $500 each for the tickets/hotel/transportation, and in my eyes that is very inexpensive for something like this. But idk, that's just me.


Looking forward to seeing everyone in Vegas!!!!

I did not receive the code in my e-mail. I contacted customer support, and they were extremely prompt with their reply. I have my code now, less than five minutes later. I used the chat support, btw. The system estimated less than a minute wait but the representative answered me immediately.

So what about players in the EU? Were we supposed to receive codes like this for the London event as well? There are all these notices around that aren't being specific about which event this relates to...

They need to put a header on this stuff saying that it's ONLY for the Vegas fanfest.

When are us lot in the EU gonna hear about anything?

It doesn't cost much to go to vegas unless you live paycheck to paycheck, you don't need to be rich to avoid a weekend there unless you try to gamble. SE isn't the first nor only company to award in-game items for going to their festivals/conventions, Blizzard does exactly the same with Blizzcon.

$120 for a ticket? Not including hotel accommodations? Or driving/flying expenditures? Ehhhh.... :| I mean, I know Blizzcon tix are expensive too, but that's also another place I don't think is worth the price.

I've spent far more on nerdy trips in the past, but usually in those cases it's for multiple things, not just one game.

For the full access of SOE Live it cost around 130-150$. So its not just Blizzcon that is expensive.

I live rather paycheck to paycheck myself but I've put money aside from the moment this was first announced so I could go. I will have to put some on credit but will be worth it in the end for me. This is something I really want to attend.

Can some clarify something for me, what about EU account holders as there is a FanFest in London. Is there a promo code for there also? Or do NA players get early access to those tickets too?

Sorry for the late reply to this - all of what you've currently seen regarding Fan Festival ticket purchases is for the Las Vegas event. We have not announced any details regarding tickets for the London or Tokyo events at this time!
