Tickets and sign up

Initial sign up

There are 60 player places at the larp. Sign up for these places will go online at 8PM GMT on Thursday 1st March and will stay open for 72 hours, closing at 8PM GMT on Saturday 3rd March.

Once the sign up window closes, player places will be assigned by a random draw, which is weighted to support a diverse mix of players.

We’ll inform everyone of whether they have a player place by Sunday 4th March, and everyone who was unsuccessful will be added to the waiting list.

To confirm your place, you’ll need to purchase a ticket or put down the first payment within 4 weeks, by Sunday 1st April. Any tickets not purchased by then will be opened up to the waiting list on Monday 2nd April.

Tickets cost £300 in one sum, or two installments of £165. Final payment for those paying in installments is due by Sunday 1st July.

Waiting list and additional tickets

If there are more sign ups than player places, those who didn’t get a place in the first lottery will be put on a waiting list and will be invited to buy tickets on a first come first served basis if places become available. Once the waiting list is empty, or if any tickets are still available 48 hours after being offered to the waiting list, they will be put on general sale.

Scholarship tickets

5 of the tickets available will be scholarship tickets, costing £150. Players will be able to indicate in the questionnaire whether a scholarship ticket would be helpful or necessary for them to be able to attend, and the players who receive scholarship tickets will be selected by the organisers.

It will also be possible for other players to become sponsors, allowing us to assign more scholarship places to people who need assistance. These donations are completely optional and can be of any size. Donations don’t translate to anything in game terms – just the good feeling of knowing that you’ve helped out someone who couldn’t have attended otherwise.

Refunds and cancellations

If you have to cancel your ticket for any reason, we’ll do our best to find a replacement player so we can refund the price of your ticket and still cover the costs we’ve incurred. If you cancel before August 1st 2018 and we are able to find someone else to purchase your ticket, we’ll give you a full refund minus a £30 admin fee. If you have to cancel after August 1st we will not be able to offer a refund unless you provide a replacement player to take on the ticket cost, as we may need to give away the ticket for free to ensure the larp can be filled.
