As you may know, we’ve been negotiating and finalizing some details with the Columbia Tower after being informed that they’ve increased some of their price points. We’re happy to say we’ve reached an agreement, but this event will have to be a bit different from our events past. Here are all the changes and the reasons behind them, but even with these, we’re going to rock it and have a great night of gaming with you!
No VIP Option
There will be no VIP option this time, instead we are significantly upgrading the General Admission buffet menu as a whole. If you’re a steak-lover, you’re going to be quite pleased! Of course, veggie lovers will also be happy campers. Just come ready to eat, is what we’re saying! 😊
Raffle Put on Hold (for now)
Due to lingering supply chain and pandemic-related issues, there will be no raffle at this event. Many sponsors expressed, with great regret, that they could not commit to the cause at the same level as they may have in the past. At our PAX 2021 event last year, our first event post-Covid, we were still able to have a strong showing of raffle prizes because most were donations rolled over from the original Spring 2020 event that had been postponed. We do not have that cushion this time. This also means that we will likely not have any SWAG bags this year. We hope to bring both of these back at future events, when the economic climate improves. Any donations we have received so far will once again go into storage for a future event.
Dinner Tickets
Tickets will be going live today (08/19/22) at 3PM PST! Tickets have increased to reflect the Tower’s new prices but we are also happy that we can offer you a fully upgraded dinner menu of some incredible food. As mentioned, steak will be the main entrée (with vegetarian options available) and there are other delectable menu items to be announced. (Purchase Tickets Now)
Pop-Up Store Pending
At this time, we’re still working out if we will have pop-up store present at the event. We hope to have more information on this soon.
Post-pandemic recovery pains are a struggle for all right now, but even with these changes, it’ll be a fantastic night of gaming and we are looking forward to it. One thing that hasn’t changed is our desire to put on a great event and raise funds for the Seattle Children’s Hospital as best we can! Thank you for your continued support!
We hope you’ll join us for gaming, gabbing, goofing around, and best of all, giving to a good cause.
