\\ADMISSION

Admission is by ticket purchased online. If you are unable to make an online ticket purchase, we will be making a limited number of  'on the day' admission tickets available.  However, 'on the day' tickets may be more limited or completely restricted for some gaming tables.  Please book in advance to avoid disappointment.

 

 

\\GAMING TIMES

Each gaming table has a set start and finish time for each game it runs.  A full schedule of the games you have booked on to will be provided prior to attending and once you have booked online. 

The Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures Tournament will only be running on Saturday 7th, with friendly, taster, and 'learn-to-play' games on the other days.

 

 

\\RE-ENTRY

Should you need to leave the event but want to return later, you may need to validate your ticket with a member of the ConVergence UK team before leaving.

 

 

\\TICKETS

Tickets are valid for the entire weekend event when purchased. Tickets are not transferable to others and anyone found to be attempting this will be escorted from the premises and barred from returning.  Additional tickets for specific special tournament games being run as a part of the larger event may be upgraded to an full event ticket on the day of arrival should you wish to take part in more than just that tournament.  Please check with a member of the ConVergenceUK team at the time.

 

​

\\STAYING IN THE AREA

If you are travelling from out of town and wish to stay over in a hotel, there are plenty within close distance to the venue.  In particular is The Bamford Arms & Premier Inn right across the road.  For the best booking prices go to www.premierinn.com and search for Premier Inn Stockport South.  The best prices are available online (the hotel has suggested checking weekly until you find the deal that's right for you).
