Thread: Premium Darwin LAN questions?

I'm throwing a few idea's around for future major LAN events, and was hoping to get a little information from people who would be interested in these.

First of all, consider it an event like Evo or even Biohazard (not necessarily either thought in this case) held in the past here in Darwin.
It'll be held in a venue of higher then usual class (ie, lets say the Darwin Convention Centre, or a function room at a hotel) with stable power for everybody, and support for up to and beyond 150 people and their PC's.
For those who've been to Evo or Biohazard in the original Carlton, that's the feel we'd be looking for.

Can you please answer the poll?

Im not in Darwin anymore but to me, $55 would be acceptable for a 2 day lan, it's a bit steep for a single nighter IMO.

i tagged 30-40 over 2 nights, but i'd only be there for one. as per previous LANs though, I have no issue paying the full price for that

For a two Day event that only happened once or twice a year I would expect to pay $60, and more so I would be quite happy to pay for that. It is say over 48 hours of entertainment, organised events on and off of the computer, and whatmore I would think I would have a chanse at prizes and well braging rights.

Comparing to events ie the Avalon Airshow 2009 I had paid for a single trade day entry of $50 where the public were paying $160 to get in + $10 for car parking. A car show expo I had to pay $20 to get in.

just remember alot of these lanners are younger kids still in school and the higher price tag is a bit intimidating.

awesome, filter out the kiddies and bring on the topless barmaids.

re mungus' comment, can i change my poll response to the last option? and er.. forget my 'only there for one day' line as well

That is what I though of on the way home from work. In this case then possibly have a reduced ticket for people under 16. Or something along those lines

Yeah just have a 16 and below at half price. If you old enough to work you are old enough to pay full entry.

so, 14 then.
