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.
I already got my ticket, however, I am currently helping my friend buy his ticket. You do not have a place in line, on the ticket page (http://www.eventbrite.com/event/7320354377/) you will have to refresh the page until you see a button saying something along the lines of "buy tickets". Once you see this, click it as fast as possible (only once, if you click it multiple times, it will only refresh the page and you will loose your claim if you had it). The tickets will be re-released if people who have already claimed a ticket fail to complete the purchase. Just keep trying. Good luck!
thanks, i feel like this process could have been explained better. i do feel a bit better though, knowing that they have made it so the tickets cant be scalped. oh well 2 more chances i guess (i have lowered my hopes considerably though).
Where did you hear this from?
Which is done at the event? I mean if people just buy the tickets and don't go they are really screwing over those that want to go.
The only email I got from Mojang was the confirmation for my ticket purchase.
I agree completely, it is selfish for people to take the experience of a lifetime away from someone who really cares, just so that they can brag and show off their cape to others...
I purchased my ticket and all it asked for was your email (not even asking for the one associated with your Minecraft account), first name, last name, and credit card information. I'm almost 100% certain you will only get the cape if you go to the event.
There are two more batches of tickets being sold. One batch of 2500 on Friday, and another 2500 on Saturday. http://minecon.mojang.com/
The hotels were a pain though. I was hoping for one closer but it is 8/10 of a mile. I was hoping 1/2 or less.
i wanted to take my little brother... now i cant... and i am not going without him :< not after i promised him id take him if i went.
Oh well.
But how will you travel!? No but did you buy them separate from Minecon rates or somewhere else?
