    Fair play, hope I didn't come across as too negative with my post. I've wasted too many €15's on that sh1tty Big Boys Toys shows (not gaming specific I know) where you pay for a day's pass and after 20 mins you're walking back out the door. That recent Game On show wasn't much cop either imo but at least it had a cheaper rate with mid-week discount.
    I reckon the hourly rate or something like it would entice more people to pop down and have a look at least. Anyway, hope it goes well for you! :)

    Ok but what does "atrcadecon" mean then? :confused:
    If the site is called the-arcade.ie it's understandable to think their might be some arcade cabs there. Anyway that's nitpicking, it is what it is. Hopefully it does well, would be good to see conventions like this pop up more often.

    I'm a little dewildered as to why you've chosen to use the word arcade or any variant at all in the name if I'm honest. Seems you've only got a corner for retro consoles which is the only reason I'm not moving this thread to another forum. No cabs, no LoGiE!
