Incidentally, we know there were a lot of questions about why there aren’t more BYOC seats at GeForce LAN. 800 BYOC seats was our initial estimate after seeing the floorplan of the venue. However, after a thorough site inspection and discovering that:
- There are random hatches, pipes, etc., that impede us from placing a table here and there.
- Some of the museum pieces (i.e., the Apollo 11 module) are not able to move with the other aircraft from the hangar deck up to the flight deck
- Accounting for more stringent fire safety aisles
We had to revise our estimates. This is a true aircraft carrier and while it has been converted to a museum, much of the ship is the same as it was when it was operational decades ago.
We lost over 150 seats due to this, and some of the remaining seats have been reserved for the sponsors who are supporting this event (many of whom want a BYOC seat themselves as they want to represent and connect with attendees!).
We spent days staring at and stressing over the floor plan trying to squeeze as much as we can in, but in the end, we got what we got. Like vector says, if this was a Nimitz class carrier…we probably could have squeezed in a weeeeee bit more.
For those who don’t have BYOC seats, don’t forget there are still general admission passes. For $20, you get access all weekend during general admission hours. With this ticket you still get to experience the tournament/free play areas, compete in whatever contests and tournaments are happening during the general admission hours, visit the exhibitors (who will have some pretty cool playable systems too), see how-to presentations on stage, and even visit the museum itself [FREE!] (original wards, compartments down below and above the hangar deck) throughout the ship, which is an amazing trip by itself. Up on the flight deck there is an awesome seating area where you can take in the view and see more original aircraft. You can even get your picture taken with a WWII pin-up girl alongside an aircraft in 3D.
