I'll be going, assuming I can get a ticket. I have booked a "meeting" in my work diary so I can be ready to purchase a ticket.

Yes, a long meeting because there may be a lot of waiting on the site

Sounds quite positive all in all. Tempted to turn up.

Frontier must be doing well.. New offices, expo, three self published titles. Its been interesting to watch the company go from a relatively small studio to one confident enough to have its own expo.

Not happy that the ED content is now unspecified in length. That's the main reason I want to go and FD are unwilling it seems to tell me how much main stage time ED will get.

Counting down the minutes (170) until tickets go on sale.

Update: Founders Pass purchased and hotel room booked.

See you there 07

Is there going to be good streaming coverage of the day or most of the important bits of the day ?

Haven't got time to read entire thread, apologies if already covered.

Yes, according to multiple answers from FD Ed and Bo.

I'm guessing that the ticket sales go live at 12 noon BST, because the javascript on the site is unrepentantly on the side of localtime (Brexit-time?) and is showing it will go live at 1200 my time (CEST). Anyone at FD want to confirm that?

Well time ran out on my computer 1 hour ago

My guess it means tickets will appear within 1 hour from now.

edit: F5 check - still nothing

my PC is showing that tickets are 1 hour away from going on sale - 11:00 UTC (if galactic time helps cover any non UK confusion)

Where are you getting that info? I can't see it on the website.

Countdown is gone on my page. Germany here. Looks like the countdown-plugin uses the system time instead of the server time...

The is great, but I will need parking space for my Asp Explorer.

The parking tickets are steep in London.

I saw that too. It doesn't look like theres any parking lol

Which is silly because it would be cheaper to drive than pay for a train ticket, I'm only 60 miles north. UK public transport is pretty horrendous :/

I would have loved to buy a ticket, apparently Ram Tah put the site together...*sigh*

OK, this is weird. I had a mailshot and clicked the link which took me to the FX17 page with those prices on it. I just tried again and it's gone. Whoops. I may have leaked some information that was not meant to be available yet.

No scratch that, I was looking at the wrong mailshot, the prices were in another mailshot I received at 11:00am. Don't see any harm in re-posting here ...

On October 7 we’re holding the biggest event of the year for Frontier, with huge announcements, community events, guest speakers and much more. We really hope to see you there, and wanted to let you know about a limited time offer to get cheaper Early Bird tickets.

These Early Bird Tickets for Frontier Expo 2017 will available at 12 MIDDAY BST today. Be sure to grab your tickets as soon as possible, as they’ll return to full price 12 MIDDAY BST on the 31st July.

Well no harm done there, it sounds on par with other paid for FD events.
