Fanfest? ...Please?

It's been a long time since Fanfest was announced originally. I've got a room booked, but I've only seen a note saying "We will have more information later."

I'm trying to plan vacation time and so on to get to it. What's going on?

Ive been kind of thankful they've been quiet since we're still waiting to see where we'll get stationed next. I cant order fanfest tickets unless I know we'll be moved in time for the event, but even Im confused as to why its taking so long for any info. I assume we'll have some kind of info at E3 at the latest at least.

Nearing the end of April. Still no info. I've got no idea what's going on here, and with my attempts to co-ordinate with others as well as getting hotel rooms is getting insane.

At least you know when it is, I am still waiting to hear when the EU event will actually be before I can do anything.

Last time I believe it was may or june before the tickets went up for sale. This time they are coordinating hotel discounts and other things, so that may be why its not finalized yet.

Where is it going to be held? Vegas, again?

I wouldn't mind some dates 'at least' for the Europe one so I can plan better and book time off. Hopefully in the next couple of months we will get some info but not holding my breathe as probably be after summer -.-

Just a piece of advice for Vegas attendees. Just about all hotels will let you hold a no cancellation fee reservation with just a valid credit card. You can always go back and make changes and such. If you think there's a chance you are gonna go, just book a room somewhere now while reasonably priced rooms are still available.

Flights should be booked after you have your ticket for the event (non-refundable tickets are much cheaper, even on mainstream airlines.)

Hope to see many of you there (*^-^)/

I'm hopeful they'll release the dates at least for EU as I need to book time off work ASAP before the rest of the month is booked up by other colleagues. Hopefully it won't be too much longer xx

The ticket sale info for the 2014 Fanfest was provided near the end of June, with tickets going on sale in early July.

Since it's being held around the same time again (10/14 and 10/15, compared to 10/18 and 10/19 in 2014), we can probably expect a similar schedule.

I remember ticket sales being much earlier than June, but.. details were hammered out before then. I've got a room booked, but transportation and whatnot is getting difficult as we draw closer.

Other conventions/festivals are much more ready much more early on. (Blizzcon has already sold out..)

Hi, just wondering if for the 2014 Fan Fest, tickets are made available (first?) to only subscribers on US accounts, or across all accounts? I would very much like to attend the 2016 Fan Fest in Vegas this October even though I'm playing on an EU account (ever since 1.0!!).

As far as I recall from last time, it's not necessary to have an account at all.

They need to be able to provide for things like parents who don't play accompanying their kids who do.
