Due to a very positive community response, we are rapidly approaching the maximum number of tickets we may sell for the Fanfest due to limitations imposed by the size of the venue. That's right, the Fanfest is in danger of being sold out.
If you have booked your travel arrangements but not purchased your Fanfest ticket, it is in your best interest do to so immediately. There are no gaurantees that tickets will be available at the door and once we have sold out, that's it. We can't make any exceptions.
For more information, please visit the Fanfest information page.
It's almost time for the Party at the Top of the World. Don't be left standing out in the cold.

I'd go if there was another reason to travel to Iceland. Going from California just for a fanfest (even if its an awesome 3 days long) just doesn't do it for me. You ought to have a Euro fest and a North America fest, maybe around New York or a province along the US/Canada border.

I would have packed you up in one of my bags, but I'm already in Iceland and Customs sort of frowns on human smuggling.
I know of a player gathering in the very early planning stages tentatively planned for spring of '07 in Florida that looks like it will be big.
As for 'selling out being a bad thing', yes and no. It is great that we are on the verge of selling out, but a bummer for the players who couldn't make earlier arrangements to attend.

I have visions of many many people randomly talking about EVE in drunken slurry state... SO LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.. Now glad I booked a couple of months ago.
And I'm making sure I have my camera with me, just to make sure I have something to Blackmail with after the event

You know, it is at this point I smile ear to ear, Because I bought my ticket already in July 
And from the response it seems there will be lot of people to drink with at the bar, if you are near sold out the tickets! Just ensure that does NOT happend with the beer!  Beer Being sold out I mean!

I would be scared too... Depending on how Kali goes, the Fanfest may turn into a huge Riot and lead to the devs being chased by torches and pitchforks... 
But don't worry, I'll protect you Eris (If you sign my sig in pink!)

Adding some answers to questions that didn't get answered in the old thread.
Originally by: Therem Harth
I don't know if it's by design or not, but fanfest packages are no longer on Icelandair website(s), the "form to contact Icelandair travel agents" has been assuring me that "personnel has been notified" about Error 500 it generates on submit, for about a month now, and it is not possible to reach Icelandair reservation phone in Sweden from abroad, at least if you want anything else except listening to Swedish-only recorded announcements :( email to Icelandair gets replied with a week's delay saying "please call reservation agents".
Can some kind soul (kieron? Wrangler?) clarify some simple things here maybe?
- is Icelandair package deal from Stockholm still on?
- are the Loftleindir (sp?) and Nordica full up or there are still rooms?
- what are the alternative suggested hotels/whatever accomodation, if any, if my friends and I have to go book everything separately and not via Icelandair?
Many thanks in advance
The Fan Fest package from Sweden was sold out, but is back again. Though you will be staying at Loftleidir and not Nordica. As kierons top post says, it is nearly sold out so you better hurry. You can find the packages on this page.

Do you guys have any indication of attendence yet?
Yes, we do. Let's just say it's around 500, players and others included.

We will have our own bar. And this is Iceland, you don't need to worry about the bar running out of beer.

Hi guys I just tried to buy a ticket, and it looks like it went through... but no email, no confirmation page. Does this usually happen or should I try again to buy another?

You shall as soon you have bought the ticket receive a email holding your order number and confirmation number, plus number of tickets you have ordered etc. With me it took less then 5 minutes to get the email. If you paid by Visa etc. you should wait an hour or two, and while you are waiting, check your spam filter etc. just in case.
You should reveive it tho. if not, I guess you will have to contact [email protected] (I think...)

Stick to Vodka instead.

If we're talking about the Fan Fest package (Flight and hotel) you would have to contact Icelandair customer support, our GMs can't help you with that stuff. If you're talking about the Fan Fest access pass, you need to contact [email protected].
