I assure you, no one paid $60 for a KOF shirt.
I registered for VF5FS, and was going to register for spectator badge today but they were sold out. Can I still compete if that’s the only game I want to play?
The days of a stadium venue is nigh!
Wow!! Shit is crazy!! EVO is going to be hype as fuck!!
they should stream footage of people trying to get and having to watch from outside on people’s shoulders…lol…
Damn. I was going to get a ticket to compete this week also (only for Calibur) and me putting it off bit me back in full. If there’s a way to open more spots I’d gladly pay in full to get a ticket.
I’m in the same position. If anyone is selling spectator passes I guess I’m buying, lol.
Bet there will be scalpers at the event.
How about you shut up and money match me since Ill be there and apparently you will be also? 20% of the people dont even SHOW up to their pools anyways, I just think EVO being capped is a bit much because the past years Ive been there, the entrants were a large amount and yet we fit everyone.Arent the days spread out also for each event? like BIG entrant games last year like marvel and AE were on 2 separate days and everyone fit fine.
First world problems brah, but if you want; you can buy a badge from me. I bought 10 badges just incase
Sounds like someone is really salty that they don’t have this nice blue swag next to their name…
I’m going to play KOF mainly for the shirt, but I’ll show up to my pool and try to make a run out of it.
For what it’s worth, I kind of wish the guys in charge had stuck to their guns about forcing spectators to throw down the entire $50-$70 venue fee for the badge. It’s really lame that some people who want to PLAY won’t get the opportunity to do so because someone who’s just there to WATCH is going to be taking up their spot.
Still though, you guys had all the warnings in the world to secure your spot. Wiz & Co have been urging you to register before the venue hits capacity for a while now.
I almost checked the box for KOF13 for the shirt and I don’t even care for the design or play the game, lol.
First time on srk in about a month… this sucks =-\
Competitors should have had a deadline to adhere to for registration. That would ensure everyone who wanted to compete had a spot.
Then spots would open for spectators $10/a pop with the option to upgrade to competitor status.
Fairest way rather than have (a large number of) $10 spectators compete with players who are the heart of the tournament.
An idea for next year.
Anyone bought extra badges? I’d sell my dick for one
I’ll see you guys at Evo 2k13 at Cowboys Stadium.
Update:
We are working on a way to get more people in the tournament. You will still get to play in the tournament, BYOC, walk the hall on Friday and Saturday, etc. but will not have access to the main hall on Sunday. We will a separate ballroom and a big-screen setup to watch the livestream for you, though. This registration type should be up by tomorrow at the latest.
And the best part is, there’s gonna be people with spectator passes taking up room over people who want to compete. There was a deadline. should have started selling spectator passes AFTER that deadline! Whether they were $50 or $10, those passes were a terrible idea. Such a slap in the face to hard working players. Limiting the potential talent that could possibly enter the biggest tournament of the year, can’t be good for the growth of the community.
Salty rant? Hell yeah it is. I would pay plenty extra for emergency registration if I could.
Edit: Late registration FTW.
Okay thanks Ponder, Really appreciate this.
