Angalin Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I'm buying memberships before the price goes up. It'll be a while before I commit to plane tickets, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 We bought our memberships in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubby Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 We are coming. Don't have memberships yet, but will get them before 1 May.Thanks for the heads up Pebbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alytha Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Barring unforeseen catastrophes, I'll be there :)I'll get membership soonishly, before the prices go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamanthaofHodorsfield Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'll be there. Haven't bought my membership yet, but will do before the price jump. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 We bought our memberships in Chicago.Ditto. I think this will be a pretty big gathering, maybe not as big as Chicago but lots of us will be there. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perrianne Lurie Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'll be there. And I'll probably be at Shamrokon in Dublin (the Eurocon) the week before. I suggested that someone arrange a tour of GoT sites around Belfast before or after, but don't know if it will work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theMountainGoat Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Shamrokon is the week after Worldcon.But I hear rumours that there might be something happening the weekend before Worldcon that would be well worth attending..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mashiara Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 DalThor and I are hoping to be there. I'm not sure we will buy our memberships before May though. Something to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I already have my membership :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maltaran Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 As do I - I got the progress report a few days ago, I had a quick look through the printed member list and the BwB count was already into double figures, and that's just the people whose real names I know.

Arataniello Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 This may be the time to finally make it to a Worldcon. I will look at membership and whatnot this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bringer of Oranges Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I am so going, I live in London so it would be shame to miss it. I don't have a membership yet but will definitely buy one.Sorry, but since this will be my first time going, I just have some noob questions:Is membership limited? I assume loncon has a limit capacity.Does membership assure admittance to loncon or are there additional tickets you have to buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume loncon has a limit capacity.Does membership assure admittance to loncon or are there additional tickets you have to buy?Well yes it is limited in the sence that there will be a maximum capacity the buildings can hold due to fire regs. But I serriously doubt they will sell out (and if its looking like they will there will be plenty of warning)membership is addmitance to the Con and all programming (you may have to pay extra for any materials you use in workshops if you attend them)You may want a hotel room or some other form or accomidation, since the parties often finish late....

Xray the Enforcer Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 1) Membership is not limited at WorldCon, and even if it gets double the typical number of attendees, I am pretty sure the available conference space could handle it. Only upper limit is for fire regulations and I highly doubt WorldCon will reach those kinds of numbers.2) Membership is for LonCon and most of its associated activities. There will be convention-organized outings, I am sure, to places such as the Greenwich Observatory -- those you will need to sign up for and pay extra.Further, BWB events are funded by each member of the BWB in attendance. We're doing one public party for sure, and we're currently researching options for a private party as well. We won't have that data until at least January of next year, however.

Regina Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Fenryng and I are planning to go! Thanks for starting this thread, Pebs! We'll have to get our memberships next month to make sure we get in before the rate increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted01 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 It's definitely a possibility. I'll have finished university by then and will most likely be back up that way anyway, so I can travel into London easily. I won't be able to afford a membership before the price increase - thanks Pebble for the information on that! - so I'll just have to suck it up and pay more when I can eventually afford it.Big con, scary! I hope nobody hates me enough for me to be unwelcome.. :crying: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll make you a deal. If your smoke free by the 30th of April I will buy you your membership. if you take it up again before the con you can either pay me back when you can afford it (if you still able to attend) or I can sell the membership to someone else.Oh and Adz if your still smoking then, I'll poke my tounge out at you. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
