	Roar^ 21:54 20/5/2005	Butlins from the 6th January 2006. Butlins in the Winter on the 6th of January for £140, are they crazy? [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Myers Saviour of UKT UKTerrorist 21:57 20/5/2005	I might be wrong, but i think that the winter peak season ends on that week, when all the kiddies go back to school. Still £140 does seem a decent deal for butlins. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	RuLe\| 21:58 20/5/2005	sounds quite fun actually, the nightclub will be full of geeks and no girls at all, also the water park im pretty sure wont be open unless its indoors. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	BlondEh 16:51 21/5/2005	Sounds like a super idea. Double the price of an iseries but.... U get proper accomadation. None of this " stop sleeping in here and get ur ass outside" crap. Loads of otherstuff to do when sitting on ur arse for hours killing people has bored u a bit. I bet the prizes will be alot better then multiplays £200 between 5 crap. A Lan holiday...... good idea I'm gonna debag adulki in the pool if he goes.... or wud i inturn get done for kiddie fiddling :( [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Coopsy Landed 17:05 21/5/2005	sounds great, I just hope the UK scene hasnt died by then! Gamers and teams need to start embracing the fact that events will cost more, and particularly that if you take your gaming seriously and want to win tournaments, you should think about investing in accomodation. Sleeping on the floor is hardly appropriate preparation! :) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Clay 20:04 21/5/2005	This cost though does include accomodation, entry to all the resort's attractions and entry to all the competitions. < usually end up paying close to that anyways but stayin in crappy hotels and trying to fit as many ppl into a room as possible. :E sounds ok to me [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Magic^ 20:11 21/5/2005	price may be ok in theory but i think you will struggle to find 2/3 teams in the UK who have 5 player all able to stump up £140 quid let alone 32 :o this kind of plan does more to hurt the UK lan scene than help it ...... its obviously not going to work its not a workable plan yet they will go ahead anyway t hen blame the gamers and lack of interest when they are forced to cancel it [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Magic^ 20:12 21/5/2005	remember thats £140 quid plus travel [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	tiz 20:13 21/5/2005	Dont think you'll get 1000 people going at £140, considering people are going on holidays, I still have to pay £300 for crete! [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Friza 23:37 21/5/2005	lol exactly £140 + Travel for a radom lan :E~ I doubt many people or sponsors will pay out that much for one event there u have the posibility of loosing a total of £700+ & Travel for 5members... and I doubt for such an expensive lan you are gunna get decent european teams as it will cost even more for them. I think that does kinda take the micky that they wana get that much money outta ppl :< Don't see it working in my eyes but it would be a nice thing to see what happens and what teams attend. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Friza 23:39 21/5/2005	"We've arranged to host what will hopefully be the largest LAN event held in the UK" for 1000 player LAN - I sware Multiplay I-Series done more than 1000 players even at some would say a pricey £70 a ticket - They don't even have a proper site just a forum :< [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	rbZ^ 01:07 22/5/2005	some of the comments here are pathetic. First of all, for a first time thing i doubt there is going to be much profit in it at all.... renting a resort that holds 4500 at peak must be kinda pricey im guessing... 2nd of all.... dont make me laugh... european teams will be cueing up to compete in this if the prize money is high as its been rumoured. £140 a player INCLUDING accomm... whats the cpl? 100 dolla per playa + 100 dolla a night room??? £140 inc accomm onsite EVERYTHING, fully licensed facilities etc is a bargain no?

	Myers Saviour of UKT UKTerrorist 21:05 22/5/2005	wrong thread hamster :P, we're discussing the pro's/con's of Butlins as a lan venue here, and the size of snk's commission. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Myers Saviour of UKT UKTerrorist 21:07 22/5/2005	i think snk, what's i'm kind of worried about, is the experience of the organisers. Most people started relatively small. Multiplay/GameFrontier/iGUK/CPL etc, and then gradually built up to hosting the events today. ArenaHQ appear to have announced the event rather prematurely before all the details have been finalised and before they can announce their sponsors. There are a lot of comparisons with what they're trying to do and what CXG tried to do in 04. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	seik 01:04 23/5/2005	clearly you have no skill at booking holidays gaz, i went to kos for 2 weeks for £315 last summer [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	DoZ Anti-saviour of UKT 10:49 23/5/2005	That's a very steep entrance fee, it makes you wonder if they know their market? Primarily students. The dates they have set? Shortly after Christmas. The prizes available matter little as everyone knows only the top few teams will be getting any - you're basically asking 950+ chumps to sign up to allow a few people to win money. I don't see it being held at Butlins as being a major selling point, most gamers would rather it held in a big hall at half that price, even if it did mean no accommodation - as i-series attendence figures can vouch for. At half the price they'd have 70 quid extra to spend at their time during lan, which is plenty if they wanna go out on the p*** a couple of night's runnings. Will be interesting to see if it works, I don't have much faith in it due to the cost and timing. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Friza 12:19 23/5/2005	rbz I think its from $40-60 for cpl (entry), + thats in dollars, this is GBP Pounds :P depending on what the prizes are gunna be but I wouldn't really pay that much I mean if u loose its kinda money down the drain ( I <3 Myers! :D) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Wizzo 17:13 23/5/2005	Another one to attempt to magic 1000+ players from thin air and thinks organising small LANs is any real preparation for holding events on this sort of scale. Best of luck to them. Competition is good and the more LANs the better. However, I strongly suspect this will go the way of every other "huge lan from nowhere" attempt that we've seen all-too-often over the years, i.e. fall flat on it's face. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Johnny91 20:26 7/6/2005	Reading their Forum, they had trouble setting up a 20 player LAN. Why are there good folk at Electronic sports webs site down, not a good start. I have a badddd feeling bout dis. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Myers Saviour of UKT UKTerrorist 21:05 22/5/2005	wrong thread hamster :P, we're discussing the pro's/con's of Butlins as a lan venue here, and the size of snk's commission. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Myers Saviour of UKT UKTerrorist 21:07 22/5/2005	i think snk, what's i'm kind of worried about, is the experience of the organisers. Most people started relatively small. Multiplay/GameFrontier/iGUK/CPL etc, and then gradually built up to hosting the events today. ArenaHQ appear to have announced the event rather prematurely before all the details have been finalised and before they can announce their sponsors. There are a lot of comparisons with what they're trying to do and what CXG tried to do in 04. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	DoZ Anti-saviour of UKT 10:49 23/5/2005	That's a very steep entrance fee, it makes you wonder if they know their market? Primarily students. The dates they have set? Shortly after Christmas. The prizes available matter little as everyone knows only the top few teams will be getting any - you're basically asking 950+ chumps to sign up to allow a few people to win money. I don't see it being held at Butlins as being a major selling point, most gamers would rather it held in a big hall at half that price, even if it did mean no accommodation - as i-series attendence figures can vouch for. At half the price they'd have 70 quid extra to spend at their time during lan, which is plenty if they wanna go out on the p*** a couple of night's runnings. Will be interesting to see if it works, I don't have much faith in it due to the cost and timing. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Wizzo 17:13 23/5/2005	Another one to attempt to magic 1000+ players from thin air and thinks organising small LANs is any real preparation for holding events on this sort of scale. Best of luck to them. Competition is good and the more LANs the better. However, I strongly suspect this will go the way of every other "huge lan from nowhere" attempt that we've seen all-too-often over the years, i.e. fall flat on it's face.

	Johnny91 20:26 7/6/2005	Reading their Forum, they had trouble setting up a 20 player LAN. Why are there good folk at Electronic sports webs site down, not a good start. I have a badddd feeling bout dis. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
