to use shopping cart. Whether you're buying for yourself or for all your friends, the MatchBox360 XL ticket office will allow us to

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

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.

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

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

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.

If you pre-booked a ticket you have until Saturday the 14th July to purchase your ticket before it goes on open sale.
