Pomathon - KupoCon Birmingham 2018

[Tetsujin]

Advance sales are now open for patrons.

General sales start tomorrow: http://kupocon.com/pmn/#

Just bought a Ragnarok ticket so it looks like I'm going

 

[Ami]

I'm aiming for KotR again, but will settle for Ragnorak if I can't get one. Already know two friends outside of TLS (shock horror, I know!) going, so they pulled my leg. It's also the one technically closest to me (still crying internally about Manchester missing out </3), so there's no excuse for me not to go.

 

[Cthulhu]

Ah heck, guess I'll have to try and get on this early,

 

[Mage]

I'm setting an alarm on my phone so I'm ready to splurge on the morrow. I'm going.

 

[Ami]

Spoiler: Me right now...

 

[Ami]

Just got KoTR... again! Don't forget to put in TLS as a promo code if you're going.

 

[Teioh]

Thanks for the reminder! Saved only £1.22 in the end but it still counts got the Ragnarok ticket. I guess I'll be seeing some of you (for the first time!) next year

 

[Philco]

Got my siren ticket Found out too late about the London con so I'm glad I can come to this one instead

 

[Flintlock]

Not trying to hijack the thread or anything, but remember you're all welcome to come along to meet TLS folks in London in February even if you're not going to Pomingham Palace.

 

[Mage]

I got a Siren and so did Yop so that's sorted. We're gonna need to bag evening tickets though, can't let my non-existent ballgown go to waste.

 

[Tetsujin]

I like to sort shit early so I just booked my flights
They were only &#8364;75 so yay

Now I just need accomodation and shit

 

[Mage]

The venue is a pretty decent hotel, there's a discount code on your ticket. There are alternatives in walking distance like a Travelodge for tight budgets and the Radisson Blu for splurgers.

 

[Tetsujin]

I'll probably be looking for something cheaper. Also, the discount doesn't seem to actually work

 

[Joe]

I was randomly looking at the names of the tickets when I saw that Ragnorak tickets were still in stock (the rest were sold out)

So yeah now I have a Ragnorak ticket.

IIRC a few people had difficulty with using the code. Drop Red a PM via Facebook or post in the community group IMO.

If you're not staying at the venue, look for hotels near New Street or Bullring. Moor Street at a pinch but it's a bit of a walk. Might be worth checking out Late Rooms or similar and seeing if their wildcard offers are any good on location (be careful with those though!).

EDIT: If you're going to the Kingsglaive screening your accommodation should be within walking distance of the Electric Cinema because buses are shite.

 

[Ami]

Another 100 Siren passes are now on sale!

 

[Mage]

Aaaaaaaaand sold out in what, seventeen minutes?

I'M SO FUCKING EXCITED FOR THIS NOW, I'M ALREADY DESIGNING MY BALL GOWN AND LOOKING FOR FABRICS! TBH I just wanted to wear a nice frock for once.
Also how is it that people aren't aware that the evening event is a masquerade ball? I thought it was pretty well established by now. o.O

 

[Tetsujin]

Masquerade ball? What? First I've heard of it.

 

[Mage]

EDIT: AHA! Found it, it is on the KupoCon website! "THE FINAL FANTASY BALL IS OUR EVENING EVENT STARTING AT 8PM. COSPLAY IS OPTIONAL."

 

[Tetsujin]

Well it's definitely gonna be regular-ass clothes for me

 

[Channy]

Someone better do Crossdressing Cloud to the ball event or heads are gonna roll.

 

[Mage]

There were about five Cloudettes at the evening event last week; it's old hat now.

 

[Cthulhu]

8 PM is decent, when does the main event end? Glad they're able to take more time this time around - some people at KC really needed a shower and change of clothes
