If you know you want to play in a game get your ticket as soon as you arrive there on Saturday, or book in advance (is it too late to book in advance?).

If the game is full (offically) get a general ticket, and turn up at the time as there are usually people that forget to come or if there a 7 people like you one DM's (at very short notice) but the games can still be fun.

Bring Dice, Drinks, and perhaps an appropriate rulebook (eg. PHB) to the table. Paper, pencil and/or pen. Some sweets or food that you can share goes down well.

For some reason games seem to clash with sensible eating times, and when the trade hall is open. So don't expect to be gaming in every available slot. It is possible but you miss out on a lot of stuff.

Be prepared to try anything (general tickets are good for this) that spur of the moment game of Cyberpunk you joined to fill the numbers could be the best game of the Convention.

At least thats been my experience.

Have fun unfortunately I can't make it this year.
