Hey everyone I wanted to post up the schedule of important events leading up to LanOC v18. Similar to how we did things for v17 we will be doing group seating reservations leading up to our ticket sales opening up. If that applies to you look below the schedule for more information on group seating as it will be going slightly different than last time. For those who aren’t doing group seating ticket sales will be opening up January 8th at 5pm EST. We will be posting up the link to our registration at that time on the forums and on Facebook. Also due to our building costs going up each year for the past few years we are bumping up ticket costs for early bird tickets from $15 to $18.
12/22/15 Group reservations open up
1/5/16 Group seating ticket sales open up
1/8/16 5pm EST Ticket sales open up completely

Group Seating Reservations
Okay for group seating if you want to hold seats starting on 12/22 you will need to post up on the post on our forums and let us know what seats you will need. These seating blocks will be first come first serve. The minimum size for a group is three people or larger. I know that end seats are at a premium for some people, because of that if groups try to take the end of every row I will have to limit group block registrations. It’s only fair that there still be some open for others.
Once you have your block of seating held be sure to get everyone ready. On January 5th group seating will open up. I will be contacting the group leaders with instructions on how to do this at that time. We will only be doing the seating for three days, past that all group holds will be gone when ticket sales open for everyone. In other words, make sure your group is ready to pick up their seats during that window or they might not be able to get that seat.
Group reservation requests will only be taken on a post on our forums (when they open up). Last time I had people contacting me on just about every possible medium and it was easy to get confused.
