TAM London - October 16-17, 2010

[Chris H]

Website launches today, tickets onsale on the 29th of May.

Someone at the JREF is psychic... or *I* am... I'm already plotting a trip over the Atlantic for unrelated events. Didn't even consider this possibility.

Though, if I go to Amsterdam for the 14th and 15th instead, I can go to London for the 16th and 17th... Oooo... Guess I'm going to have to learn some Dutch after all.

I'm already attending TAM Vegas and TAM Australia this year, but I would LOVE to go to this. England is my favorite place in the world, but I don't think I can justify another trip in 2010. Only just got back from there in February. Maybe next year.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear - I'm going to Australia on the 16th.
So - I'm ordering a copy of the video right now.

My credit card account needs to recover from this year. Maybe next year.

Anyone know what the cost is likely to be? Two days to go before the tickets go on sale, you'd think that would have been decided by now.

 

[DocM]

Strange. I was confused by the question, since I clearly remembered a price tag of 220 pounds per ticket. But when I checked, they had actually removed the price, and somebody on Facebook has asked about this as well.

There were quite a few complaints about the price, but I think it may still go up, as three more speakers have been announced.

 

[zooterkin]

I must have missed that; I looked before there were any prices, and then again today to see, as you saw, references to the prices that had been there briefly.

I suspect that, if I get a ticket, I'll be getting the train in like last year. The venue is more convenient for Paddington than the Mermaid was.

I like the idea of having an independent website for TAM that contains all of the information anyone would need to know. Infact I'd go as far as to say that the TAM London website is significantly more comprehensive and better organised than the TAM Vegas info on the JREF website. tamaustralia.org redirects you to the Australian Skeptics TAM page, so I guess we can expect the same thing for TAM Down Under too.

I've taken it upon myself to register tamvegas.org for a sort of unofficial TAM Vegas website. Thought it would be nice to have somewhere outside of the forum for all of the info and updates that are usually hard to find on the JREF site (such as the next years dates) plus information that generally only gets discussed on the forum (like South Point sales). Might never get off the ground, but it only cost me $9.95, and I quite enjoy building websites. I'll do my best to have something up shortly. Now I've just gotta hope that TAM doesn't change location next year...

 

[zooterkin]

Still no price for the tickets, nor any explanation, and less than 5 hours to go. This is getting a bit silly. Not that it will stop me, but some might be having second thoughts.

 

[lionking]

Any ideas on the cost of the TAM Australia tickets?

 

[zooterkin]

Update: The cost is £208

 

[zooterkin]

Got mine, I think. The pop-up window I was interacting with disappeared, but then I got taken to the PayPal window, so I've paid. Oh, yes, I've got email confirmation too.

 

[Morwen]

Me too! I'm going! I'm really going! *does happy incredulous dance*

Once again, I'm not sure how that went. When I saw the only way to pay was through Paypal I knew there'd be trouble, since I have a Paypal account, but the only card I had registered with them is expired. There is no way to just enter details of a new card and pay with that, so I had to use the "eCheques" thing. Still, I have a confirmation email, so I'm hoping it's fine.

I just pressed the (slightly non-obvious) link "I don't have a paypal account" and got to enter my credit card details... Ticket secured.

Not sure why you thought that, it says "Delegates can book online using all major credit or debit cards. The checkout system is Paypal, so if you have a Paypal account you can also choose to pay using that."

We'll see about that, then!
