Well fuck. Completely forgot about this. Anyone know when the next wave is coming?

I'm probably going to stay here this year. 24-bed shared room for £9.95 a night. Anyone fancy going in with me?

So, it looks like I secured a ticket. Good stuff. I look forward to meeting fellow Retro attendees next month!
Did anyone else have any luck with Wave 2?
Edit:
So, it looks as if the tickets sold out this time in 7 SECONDS, making it 13 second overall for the 900 allocated tickets. Phew, that's going some!

Ticket get. Had a brief heart-attack at 17:59:58 when it gave a Bad Gateway, but it refreshed and all was lovely. :>

It seems that even though I like technology, it doesn't like me. I was too late on the submission form last year and this year, the page wouldn't reload quick enough to allow my submission to be made on time. It may be my fault due to using a 6 yr old netbook but I still tried and there''s not much else I could do. A shame really.
That being said, I hope you guys enjoy the fun and also take advantage of the prospect of increasing your Sonic merchandise's value.
EDIT: It seems the universe took a Nova shaped punch in the face when it came to my Summer of Sonic submission as I am now attending. See you there, guys!

~69 tickets a second. Christ. Still, looks like just about everyone from Retro who wanted one has got one, so in that respect it's already worked out better than last year.

Due to rushing to grab tickets for people who hadn't otherwise secured them, add D.A. Garden and Blanche to the list of attendees.
EDIT: Also, if you still didn't secure a ticket, fret not. I'm sure due to duplicate tickets and people reserving slots for others, there will probably be some extra tickets left to be issued. A bonus wave is, at this point, fairly inevitable.
EDIT #2: On the accommodation front, myself and Nik are now sorted.

I was so busy with work I didn't even know the tickets had been released, but apparently young Nova managed to bag me a ticket somehow (probably by agreeing to poledance for the management, you all know what he's like!)
And as of this morning I've booked my room for the weekend. Unfortunately for Nik that means he'll be sharing a building with me :D
My next question is, anyone arriving on Friday night? I don't really want to spend the whole evening on my own =P

I'm a Londoner, Blanche. I'm sure I can head out for a wee tipple/evening festivities if needs be. Same goes for any early arrive-rs.

I definitely will be - my accommodation is all sorted, too. A little birdie tells me there's a strong possibility at least two other people will be in the area too. And of course Cinossu, who is a Londoner himself =P

Don't thank me! I may have been the intermediary but the benefactor is someone else entirely... :D
Will be kind of cool with you, Nik and myself in the same building.

Fuck you guys, making me wish I booked a two-night stay.
Oh well, we're still doing the yearly 'post-SoS Sonic Retro hangover barcade', right?
