[TABLE="width: 500, align: center"] [TR] [TD][IMG]http://files.cosmicduck.net/tg/m0S.png[/IMG][URL="http://iseries.multiplay.co.uk/i46/tickets/"][IMG]http://static.multiplayuk.com/images/content/i46-350-tickets-left.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] I decided to make this thread now even though i45 has not yet taken place (4-7th May), but due to multiplay opening the ticket sales early this year for i46, i thought it would still be useful for people who were planning on going to the summer LAN this year. (This is it) Earlier bird discount applies now, but i don't know if it will also apply after i45 closes (as is traditional), but i doubt it will.[B] The i-Series is the UK's Largest LAN P[/B][B]arty, wh[/B][B]ere thousands of gamers from all around the UK, Europe and beyond gather together for a weekend of gaming, socialising and more.[/B][B] So what is the i-Series? Essentially, at it's core the i-Series is a celebration of gaming in all it's forms. It's a festival, a LAN, a weekend of hardcore gaming, a 4-5 day tournament, an exhibition with the latest & greatest games and hardware, and a social gathering of gamers from the world over! [/B]The event runs from the 24th to the 27th of August 2012, you can buy EAS (early arrival service, £15) which most of us will be doing to get pretty much an extra day at the event, which would mean it starts on the 23rd at about 7pm. From i43 onwards, the new home of the i-Series is the International Centre, Telford. Which is fantastic because it's a more central location, has a number of hotels onsite/nearby and a bigger capacity (3000 BYOC) while being less spread out [URL="http://iseries.multiplay.co.uk/2011/05/12/i43/insomnia-gaming-festival-moves-to-the-telford-international-centre/"] Move to Telford Announcement[/URL] [URL="http://www.fileplay.net/file/13814/the-international-centre-venue-introduction"]Venue Video[/URL] [IMG]http://www.southwatereventgroup.com/files/gallery/TIC Images/TIC out8.png[/IMG] Click for map [URL="http://goo.gl/maps/RSdQ"][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/iISMo.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL="http://www.multiplay.co.uk/static/images/iseries/site/insomnia-venue-layout.png"][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/A6cYJ.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [I]i42 images: [/I][URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mpuk/5650988154/"][IMG]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5268/5650988154_3b421db0d2_m.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mpuk/5645941577/"][IMG]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5302/5645941577_24c8964033_m.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mpuk/5647113619/"][IMG]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5141/5647113619_dfc5520cc9_m.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mpuk/5649342553/"][IMG]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5225/5649342553_7b2305ddc0_m.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mpuk/5646242759/"][IMG]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5069/5646242759_2421bc4a4b_m.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mpuk/5647030323/"][IMG]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5266/5647030323_e696c069cf_m.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [I]i40 images: [/I][URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mpuk/5176033589/"][IMG]http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4128/5176033589_8ffb867bcb_m.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mpuk/5170328016/"][IMG]http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1382/5170328016_96605a4930_m.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mpuk/5169726939/"][IMG]http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1264/5169726939_e1c7dea9c2_m.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mpuk/5173545398/"][IMG]http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4088/5173545398_0aea6ac13c_m.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mpuk/4939849393/"][IMG]http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4121/4939849393_681d02b4ce_m.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL="http://imgur.com/8eiq6.jpg"][IMG]http://imgur.com/qXOq4.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL="http://imgur.com/GwW5F.jpg"][IMG]http://imgur.com/2PnUR.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL="http://imgur.com/gquxy.jpg"][IMG]http://imgur.com/88I4P.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL="http://imgur.com/2eqRF.jpg"][IMG]http://imgur.com/GQbUn.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [del]The price is £92 for a BYOC ticket[/del] [highlight]Currently only £64.40 for a limited time![/highlight], and another £15 if you wish to come a day early (EAS) [B]Set your game area as TF2 when you book.[/B] Or Maybe 'Other Games' who the fuck knows [URL="http://iseries.multiplay.co.uk/i46/tickets/"]Click here for ticket information[/URL] [B][I]If you intend to sit with us, PM me or post in this thread when you've bought your ticket and whether you've paid for EAS [/I][/B]Ensure those of you sitting with us use the clan tag [FP] because when it comes to seating, if a defrag occurs to clean up rows etc, if you don't have the clan tag the same as the rest of us, you might get automoved to some other row far away.

Oh man, has it really been almost 2 years since i40, and 3 since i37? Time flies.
[QUOTE=ijyt;34794271]Oh man, has it really been almost 2 years since i40, and 3 since i37? Time flies.[/QUOTE] Yup it really does, and yet again I'm going "how to get there".
We should be coming to i46, it seems to be the main one for most of us, we decided to skip 45 I think :v:
Booked ticket for i46. Going with the same group of friends from i42 (we sat down the same row as the facepunchers)
[QUOTE=Wilsonwiz;35330170]Booked ticket for i46. Going with the same group of friends from i42 (we sat down the same row as the facepunchers)[/QUOTE] EAS?
I think I might actually be able to attend this one.
Do you have to bring your own computer along or are computers provided?
[QUOTE=RagamuffinIIII;35994602]Do you have to bring your own computer along or are computers provided?[/QUOTE] You bring your own. Sometimes PC rental is an option, but you have to sit in the PC rental area.
I'll be there but I'm sitting with some others. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5r_e2WkNL8[/media]
Oh god that sea of beige.
Ill be ordering my tickets in about 2 weeks woo
Sorry for the two month post, but the the LAN is almost here. Two tickets ordered, i45 was amazing. If it weren't for these threads, me and my cousin would never know what a LAN party feels like. 35 days, can't wait.
Paid
A few of us going from Newcastle (10 or so total), we are all seated just to the right of the tuckshop (Around H2-AB22) Not sure if we'll move yet though, space is dissapearing fast and people still havent fully booked up so there might not be enough room. My tent was a bit screwed from camp FP so I'll probably steal someone's hotel floor.

[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;36877698']What happened to the tent? Did someone tear a hole in it when drunk or did acezorz burn it down?[/QUOTE] Not that exciting, it was just two small for two people with loads of bags and some vital bits ended up tearing/breaking.

It's today people (02:48am)! Wish I had gotten EAS, but it wouldn't have fit well with my result collection. Still need to clean my computer out from shit tons of dust.
Me and T1dal are also here, organised outside of Facepunch. AM something.
Damn, I wish I could come. Do be sure to take pictures for the rest of us!
Been awesome so far! Me and the rest of GamersFolly are sat on the row just behind the big katarina sign, ab I think, look out for a bunch of geordies. :v:
Me and Satan will come find you...
When we can be bothered. I saw another guy (in the same row as us) on Facepunch, dunno who it was. Didn't say hello as I desperately was headed to the loos.

Seen none yet, I'm sure I saw someone on facepunch somewhere but I was headed outside or something.
I am also here
Come say hi at some point if ye want H2-AB22, gonna try to keep myself awake with coffee/alcohol since I'm not even allowed an hours kip - fuck walking all the way to the camp site now. [editline]26th August 2012[/editline] Oh and by the way, we saw this guy asleep in his chair about an hour ago...suddenly we hear this almighty crash and he has fallen more or less face first to the ground, he doesn't even react and literally rolls onto his side to doze back off... He then sprawls himself across the ENTIRE aisle and well...THIS happened: [IMG]http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/210834_10151048221378650_1989009682_o.jpg[/IMG]
