Tickets have gone on sale for this event and the website modified to allow for this. Id really appreciate it if robot team captains can go to the site and check you are on the list. I dont want teams left out or robots on the list and you cant come, or youre bringing a heavy and no longer are bringing a feather etc.
Many thanks

Ticket sales today 13/4/04 are 478 out of a possible 1800. Three weeks to go. Does anyone know if this is average or should I be worried?
Are people allowed to buy on the door?
If so, Id expect most people to buy at the time, if the event has been advertised enough.
Hi Rob,
I suggest this is a worrying trend. We had a tougher Enginuity this year although did manage to get the numbers up through good marketing in the last week or two before the event. That is why we are now working towards inclusion of live robot shows at existing public events.
In terms of practical measures I suggest you consider the usual marketing gimmicks; some late discounts for multiple sales or bookings from local businesses or organisations, Radio station ticket give aways to promote the event etc.
Probably not a great deal of help, but if you can think of anything else we can help with, get in touch.
Regards
Andrew Rayner
Thanks Andrew two great suggestions which I will chase up. Any other ideas greatly appreciated!
Pimpanought is not coming but thuggernought and blackguard are, we have arranged our own accomidation.

Rob,
On the ticket front........Why not drop the Saturday early morning show if you have concerns. This would allow more time for roboteers to get there and do tech checks etc..
Just a thought
Ian
Yes, I thought of that Ian, unfortunately the ticket agency have already sold 44 for the 10am show and this would be a real pain to contact the purchasers now. They werent too keen to start cancelling shows right now. btw Ian, although you didnt request Friday night at the Travel Inn I booked it anyway because I got a small discount for three nights. Im uploading all the latest info to my site http://www.combatrobotics.comhttp://www.combatrobotics.com this evening.
