Cheers mate . I am talking to some people, seeing what I can wangle and all that but I think there is a very good chance it may not come through (I'm not half as good at blagging people as I used to be ).
I will definately PM you closer to the time if I run out of options.... And of course I can bring payment with me to Pearlys .

Last year's Blood Bowl was the first official tournament I participated in.
I had an absolute blast. The environment was great (other than the need for higher tables or shorter benches )
Everyone I had a match with was exhibited the height of sportsmanship. This , of course, made it nearly impossible to pick just one to give my sportsmanship point to.
Man...now I'm getting all bummed out that I wont be able to attend this year
Unfortunately I won't be going this year. I had a blast and would again if not for the money of flying over.
A thought I wanted to throw out there for rules in tourney: Nurgles Rotters & Undead both have the ability to create players from opponent deaths. For tourney rules only, allow those new players to join the team on the next drive. What good is an advantage if you can't use it. Kind of like Chaos not getting mutations in a tourney.
I'm not really keen to the idea of buying tickets in lots. It was hell waiting on hold and the tourney sold out rather quickly. If people can buy in large lots then this thing will be sold out in an hour. Maybe if they let people buy up to three at a time.

Do you think it's useful if everyone who gets through grabs an extra ticket and we distribute them on TBB afterwards? I don't think that anybody will get stuck with a spare ticket ...
I'm going to order as many as they allow me to, or my credit card can hold. Although I'm buying for others I will be willing to distribute them on here afterwards. One thing though - since I am likely to be getting a lot and it might be a while before I sell them on, does anyone think it's unreasonable to charge the ticket price plus a percentage of the interest they are going to earn while the balance is sitting on my card?

If you do get an extra ticket i might buy it off you. Still havent told the other half that im looking at going yet, think i'll wait until the last moment then spring it on her. (gives her less time to 'convince' me not to go)
As for charging interest, it would depend on how much? Wasnt there some git on Ebay last year selling tickets at almost double the cost of a normal ticket?

Just sell them within a month, before the credit card balance is charged to your bank account, then there's no interest

Ideally that'd be what I'd do, but realistically if I get x amount of tickets on the 7th I doubt I'd be able to find buyers, get the money off them and get the cash onto my card within a month.
This isn't a way for me to make a fast buck, it's a plan in case I end up getting out of pocket. I can't see the total interest divided between all tickets coming to more than a few pounds each...
I will try to visit this event , too. I have to show the StreetBowlPitch some people anyway... And i want to meet some TBBs i just knew by email or posts
This ticket cartel concept is annoying imo. If people want tickets, phone gw like everyone else has to. If I spend ages on the phone as per last time to find some clown has just bought the last 30 tickets in one fell sweep I'm going to be seriously p*ssed off. It's 200 tickets, if you really want one phone, we don't need all these unofficial ticket agencies/touts, it just makes the process more complicated for normal people wanting a ticket.
