Anyone passing by any place in Thüringen (Erfurt, Jena, Gera, Eisanach, Suhl) on your way to Cologne for the Gamescom?

Had to get rid of my car some time ago because I'm studying now, but at at least I can drive anywhere in Thüringen for free :mellow:
I'd gladly chip in for gas of course.

I might be. But the details on my travel are very foggy now, so no promises. Any case, I am not sure I will be traveling to and back directly on 14th, I might go there somewhat sooner and leave somewhat later.

Lets drop any talk of stalking, even jokes about that kind of thing are a little creepy and inappropriate.

So could I buy a ticket there or only order online?

There are a limited number of tickets available, I expect them to all be sold before the event.
If you were thinking about paying cash or something, I doubt we would have the facilities for that. Most likely if there were any spaces open we would just have you go online on your phone or a terminal and order them anyway.
If you are traveling for the event you definitely want to make sure you have tickets before the event.

BTW, just to make sure, having the ticket on the Eventbrite Android app is sufficient? I don't have to have it physically (printed)?

Always better to have a physical copy, but we will release more details closer to event time, such as the gate to go to if you have an event ticket but not a show pass which will probably be the case for most of our fans.
Although I do know at least a few fans are from some major studios that will already be at the show.

Stay tune to this thread then, If there are still spots open closer to the event we may look at something like that, hard to say at this point though. You may also have been able to pin down your scheduled by then as well.

Pretty sure that if you buy a ticket in advance you get a shirt, so you should be good.

Does anyone with good flying experience know the cheapest way to get from Edinburgh to Cologne and back again?

Not a route I've flown, Jake, but I swear by www.skyscanner.net when I'm trying to look at options. I think if you're trying to fly from Edinburgh then you're probably looking at £250 return. If you can get down to London cheaply then you can probably knock £100 off that.

The cheapest and probably most annoying flight at the same time (yeah two flies with one..) would probably be Ryanair from Edinburgh to Düsseldorf-Weeze or Frankfurt-Hahn and then take a regional train for 30 euros or somesuch.

If we book our ticket early will we receive an extra hour in the ball pit?

Err um sure... Any ball pit you find, you can spend an extra hour in, but in the interest of full disclosure I should warn you that there is no bar service in the ball pits, so don't know how much of an advantage it will really be. YMMV

It did not get cancelled, it was only that my beard was so obviously superior to all others that it was no contest.
However since I have shaved my beard this year and am only left with a stache, we could consider such a high brow event.
