Hey Boffy,

Theres a fair few of us heading down/up to the event, so yeah, hope to see you there.

[Boffy]

Awesome, can't wait to see you there :)

[Love Angel PMS]

Me going!

[InF3Rn4l]

Message for sylar or darkest, or any1 hu can help, when i actually buy the tickets for this i will have to change clan name as i was originally going with another team, am i to change it to iH20 or u have a specific name u want. cheers

[Corpasp]

Hey m8, i wouldn't worry about it too much, i think we just have to put down our clan name when we order the tickets properly in the next week, i'm sure if you just put H2O down as the clan you're playing with Konsipracy should be able to work it out from that.

[H2O Eagle]

Looks cool! To bad I live in Texas :(

[bxr pro]

can you go to the event but not play in the tournaments ? you no like just watch and stuff ? would be great to no thanks

[Corpasp]

yes i believe this is possible... again might be an idea to contact them on www.matchbox360.co.uk and post on the forums.. you maybe have to pay to enter.. but again, don't know exactly

[InF3Rn4l]

No everything must be paid lol, players,spectators the lot oh and to those going especially darkest and sylar.

If thats the case then that is a definite "no". All team events are 4v4 and no substitutes are allowed- quoted from KONSPIRACY

Just to let u know that it must be 4s

[o MINX o]

thats quite a cool post with all the info i needed, hopefully i will be there!! and by that time ill be a fully fledged pms woo hooo

[II vV I N D z]

Hey Everyone i have pre-booked my ticket to the Halo 2 comp n Birmingham i August and just need to clarify some things iam not in a team so......will people have to make teams there i mean....i was suppost to go to MLG in the U.S.A because i applied for a team and played with clans ect....anyway do we bring are own controlls?.....i just need to know basic info if somone can write down all i need to bring and do when iam there id be gratefull......p.s.......i have dont wnat to sound cocky but no one has beaten me on Halo 2 and if you wnat to try my Gamertag is II vV I N D z......(its a lower case v then a capital V and 2 capital i ).......Thanks and hope to hear from people soon :)

[Corpasp]

It'll be good to see everyone there. Yeah i can't wait to get Sylars and Darkests autograph, it's gonna be soo cool...

vVindz, yes you take your own controller, but it has to be wired. Halo2 will be run on original XBox's i believe, while other games on the 360's... so i guess bring whatever control you need for the appropriate game. Money for the tournements. Then i guess you'll need to sort accomodation, food etc...

I believe the Booking office opens sometime this week, so keep an eye on the matchbox forums for more information.

[Corpasp]

Ticket Office now Open for those wanting to attend / compete.

[InF3Rn4l]

Yea quality aint it. im gonna book mine today hopefully.!!!!!!

[II vV I N D z]

Yeah i just bought my ticket.....but you have to also buy a addmision ticket to actually gain entry into the arena let alone the tournement for halo 2 FFA...its £30.........i learnt halo 2 on 360 so i gotta get good on xbox quick hahah.....thanks for the reasuring gow.
