LANFest FITES 250 gamer LAN is Official!
« on: December 02, 2013, 09:41:49 AM »
Perhaps you already got the email, maybe you haven't checked your inbox over the gluttony holiday weekend. Either way, let it be known far and wide that FITES has opened up ticket sales for their annual February event!


FITES is once again teaming up with LANFest to get 250 gamers all in the same room; stink and all. Seriously, I will enforce bathing restrictions this year. I refuse to breathe in your recycled BO and let that "no shower for 48 hour" smell settle into my rig.

With the announcement out of the way let's get into a discussion about community and you, the gamer. We could use your help. Spread the word via social media. Like us on Facebook and spread around our upcoming posts about the LAN. More gamers = more fun, for everyone.

Are you a game caster, or do you like to stream your game footage? Contact MahoneyBadger (mahoney [AT] fites [dot] net) and let him know. We would love to help you stream tournaments and games all while at the LAN. Our bandwidth is limited of course so we'll do what we can, but we can't make complete guarantees.

Stay tuned for tournament announcements!
Eventually something cool will go in here. It's a matter of time.

Have a question, trying to setup hotel on site and the FITES code is not working on the online hotel reservation system.

Is this possible or do I have to call.

You'll have to call and please spell FITES or they'll think you mean FIGHTS.

Should be unless they sell out of rooms.

Soooo I ordered my tix, picked the seats and.... the email I got doesn't have any QR code like before. Instead all I see is a waiver.pdf and some barcode with a number/letter code under it for each seat and each of those is different for every ticket. Do I just print that out and give it to you all at the door to scan?

I just got off the phone with the hotel.  I wanted to check on the room rates and I found out you can actually get a cheaper rate NOT using the FITES affiliation.  Over at travelocity.com the rate is showing $92.65 per night for a room.  ($185.30 2 nights) The nice woman told me that the FITES Group rate is $92.00.  Nearly the same, but ATM, there is a 15% discount for staying 2 nights (travelocity) which knocks $27.80 off. So...2 nights booked from them is only $157.50. she explained to me that happens from tiime to time.  I just figured I'd toss that out for anyone interested in saving some more money.

^i just cancelled my original booking and booked through travelocity, but still got charged around the same rate ($200ish for both nights.) it seems that the 15% discount was applied BEFORE perhaps, which bumped the nightly rate down to the same rate aas the FITES discount? or am I missing something?

Kinda sucks as we have to sell a certain number of rooms under the FITES name...
