Keeping an eye out for Citizencon tickets - didn't they say they might be put up shortly after SXSW?
Pretty sure they said *after*, rather than implying any urgency. I mentioned this when it was posted a couple of weeks back.
I've seen other messages from CS saying it'll be weeks before the event, like a month, which goes with what HalfMad said.
However, the 'after SXSW' line was repeated by Ben on RtV last week, and out of 2 different key CIG staff vs CS, i'd say CS are fairly out of the loop and most likely just repeating the same canned response. They've been told to give in the past.
Still, it could be another month, but we'll get an announcement about when its happening, dont expect it to suddenly go on sale.
This is what i'm going to do depending on how much the Tali goes up for sale for. Yes it means buying a pass and being one of the last to join but i'm not bothered.
They won't allow melting game packages and keeping access as they will make less money.
I have $375 to spend so should be enough.
The Tali was $275. It was $250, then for no reason went to $275 around the first anniversary. I'm sure i heard/read they said ships will go up $5 per phase, but 90% of them have gone up by $10+ each phase, the M50 & 350 did and they were $100 or less to begin with, not $250.
That said, dont forget that if you're melting your Gladiator, thats credit, you'll only be taxed on the cash part of the transaction, so if you need $100 to complete the payment, thats $100+$20 VAT. It'll only be hitting $350 regions if you're buying outright.
