MINECON tickets are here!
In an effort to be fair to people who have jobs or school and those with different schedules, Mojang is releasing tickets in 3 batches to cover different days and times. Each batch is for 2500 tickets, and you can purchase up to 6 tickets in one order, to cover families or groups of friends traveling together.
THE RELEASE SCHEDULE IS:
- Ticket Batch 1 – Wednesday July 31 @ 4pm PDT / 7pm EDT
- Ticket Batch 2 – Friday August 2nd @ 7am PDT / 10am EDT
- Ticket Batch 3 – Saturday August 3rd @ 12pm PDT / 3pm EDT
When you book your tickets you can also book hotels at our special MINECON rates. We have a variety of hotels available with different prices and different distances from the Convention Center.
Visit minecon.mojang.com to book! Tickets are $150 each, 3yo and under get in for free and don’t need a ticket!
MINECON will be held at the Orange County Convention Center and will be on November 2-3, times to be announced later (probably from around 10am to around 5pm each day).
More details will follow about activities at MINECON, but there will of course be panels from Mojang and many community members, an awesome tradeshow where you can check out cool products and services revolving around Minecraft, and of course lots of Minecraft merchandise for sale.
Volunteer and panelist submissions will be taken soon, details to come in the coming weeks.
Companies wishing to exhibit: email Mojang for exhibitor information.
Not done yet, will probably book on monday with my brother and cousin, we have to confirm everything yet, best place to have cheap hotels because there's so many of them there, will arrive on friday and departing on sunday of the next week, Orlando has so much to offer that we can't simply go there only for the Minecon while Disney World and Universal are there... I suggest having a separate thread for the people that goes to the Minecon.
To those that got tickets and will actually attend the event: Have fun!
To those that got tickets and won't attend for whatever reason: ----------Nothing Follows.----------
I got 4 tickets for my server team but one of my friends cant make it. Is there any way i can sell a ticket? I heard they are unsalable is this true?...
Helo CraftyValley, I am 23 so I have lived with and seen the Digital product market grow-up as you have I'm sure.
The whole thing with capes is they can only be obtained from Minecon and just like when you were a kid, getting the rarest baseball card, comic book or getting a ball signed by your favorite sports player, (Which you can only get at the game) can be compared to getting a cape from Minecon today. they are actually worth quite a bit; and alias with a cape can be sold to someone for a fancy price depending on the Minecon year it came from. But for your kids, I'm sure its as simple as having the latest and greatest novelty to wear and show off in-game to all their friends.
in either case, going to Minecon should not be about the cape alone. Minecon is an amazing celebration in this new era of video games that Minecraft started 3 years ago. Minecraft is definitely something that will go down in our digital history, so going to Minecon is like partaking in history itself
Minecon tickets from eventbrite are the only ones honored, if you bought a ticket and reserved it in your friend's name, sadly that ticket has gone to waste.
I'm curious to see if mojang will give out separate tickets to people going to create booths and panelists.
but i dont even know how that would work if you wanted to give the ticket to someone else.
Yea it really isnt a game anymore, its an engine. Infact the server in my signature is an entirely different kind of game built using Minecraft as the engine. It's pretty cool how minecraft has become so much more than a game imo
as for the virtual persona thing, the digital era is bridging the gap between real life and virtual. so someday products in digital world will be no different than products in the real world. they are even working on merging our own lives with a digital world too in virtual reality such as Google glass and the oculus rift. But if you really think about that, its already happened with our cell phones and facebook.
3 Laptops and a tablet going here. Entire family helped out to try and get me, my brother, and mom to go.
Won't say whether or not I got the tickets.
Calm down. It's not like they said "HA HA YOU PATHETIC PEASANTS! I HATH TRIUMPHED AGAINST THEE!"
