festival

The expo typically occurred alongside the London Games Festival in April.

In September, Insomnia Gaming Festival, the UK's biggest gaming expo, was due to take place in Birmingham, but following a number of lay-offs at its organiser, Player1 Events, tickets never went on sale.

However, it's important to note that festival tickets are distributed on the coach itself, so you can't cheat the system.

Your syndicate doesn't have to be formed of people you're physically going to the festival with.

It's possible to get into the festival as a volunteer - typically working three eight-hour shifts in return for a ticket.
