Neil, can I just check that the £40 3-day weekend pass price will not increase nearer to the event unlike the tournament entry cost?

It says on the eventbrite site that sale ends 23rd Sept
A lot seem to be staying at the Aerodrome, I'm at the Grand Sapphire, or you could stay at the venue itself Hilton London Croydon (if you're feeling particularly rich).
All within a very short walking distance.
I'm at the the Premier Inn, probably the closet hotel to the Hilton, with free-parking

In case it hasn't already been mentioned here yet (soz if it has), for the Aerodrome, if you sign up for a free rewards card, you get a discount- worked out £177.60 for 3 nights. Thanks again to @Itch for the heads up on that
Looks like there are some very good players coming to this.

Nobody wants to miss out on this. Even if you aren’t great at pinball the social aspect of this is going to be off the wall.
hearing a few more big US players now giving it serious consideration. might we hear the mighty boooom
let’s hope so

Is there a maximum number of players? Or is there no limit with this format?
I cant wait, if this can be this big already, you might at a pinburgh sized tournament in a few years time!!

There is no maximum!
the problem with pinburgh is we need a lot more games - but we are working on it!

Just want to note that this is a huge team effort from Matt, Mike P, Nick H, Tim, Diane, Clive, Graham, Thomas and more.
Fantastic to see the Bits turning up in force. Will be amazing to see our players taking on some of the best in the world and hopefully causing some big upsets and hopefully taking home the trophy!!
I'm happy to bring 2 or 3, whatever fits in a van ( don't think we can afford to stretch to a Luton )
If you need any more help I'm sure lots of the UK folks would be happy to support, me included. No idea what I can do but considering I doubt I'll be in any playoffs I'll have time
There is nothing to fear, only a few of them are androids playing like robots. The rest are cool guys who don't come across from time to time. So there's a chance to fight
Bye bye music festival 
but hello UK open came to my senses this morn and realised that this was too big an opportunity to pass up. Its not often if ever the UK gets such big comp's and believe me these are MUCH cheaper entries than INDISC. Come on people lets support this, its on our homeground!
