QuakeCon just announced an update, including the event schedule, ticketing prices and swag pack info.

If you want to Bring Your Own Computer, you’ll have to shell out $75 dollars, an increase in $25 from 2017, but you’ll get a cool pin. The BYOC, exhibit hall and esports tournaments will also extend through Sunday, which is different than years past. Specific hours have not been announced.

There’s also still no announcement on a registration date for tickets at this time.

From QuakeCon’s Post:

With QuakeCon 2018 rapidly approaching, we’re excited to share more details about this year’s fan gathering in Dallas, Texas. With an expanded schedule including the return of the keynote address and panels, new ticketing and registration options, a BYOC area twice as large as last year, and much more, we’re expecting the 23rd annual QuakeCon to be the best one yet.

EVENT SCHEDULE

The big news — for the first time ever the exhibit hall will be open all day from Friday through Sunday, making for a full weekend of QuakeCon fun. The keynote address returns in 2018, offering the latest scoops on all of Bethesda Softworks’ games, along with a variety of panels offering insight into games and the community.

And, finally, the best Quake Champions players in the world will once again descend on Dallas to face-off live on-stage, this time in the QuakeCon Open, with $200,000 on the line.

TICKETING AND REGISTRATION

Your QuakeCon team is working to create a better, smoother process for registration and to get it just right, they’ll need a little more time. We will announce further details on registration availability soon.

In the meantime, a reminder that while general admittance remains free, attendees wishing to participate in the QuakeCon 2018 BYOC must pre-purchase a package (options listed below) to guarantee a spot. As ‘BYOC Select-a-Seat’ packages are limited and all seats will be accounted for prior to the show, we want to remind everyone that there will not be seats available on-site for walk-ins.

RETURN OF THE SWAG PACK

New this year – SWAG! During package registration, fans will have the chance to add a premium, limited edition swag bag full of exclusive items to their ticket selection. Pre-orders will be taken for a limited time for $150. Each package includes a premium roll-over backpack, a set of three exclusive pins, a QuakeCon stainless steel water bottle, a QuakeCon air freshener, an oversized QuakeCon mousepad, a QuakeCon luggage tag, and a 36-inch inflatable Rocket Launcher from Quake Champions. In addition, all BYOC tickets include the Official 2018 QuakeCon Pin.

QuakeCon Delays Registration, But that’s Good News, We Promise…

QuakeCon recently announced that they will be delaying registration, missing the originally announced April 2018 time frame. While this is a setback for QuakeCon’s most hardcore base who want to have the BYOC spot officially reserved, this is really for the best… Really.

In order to avoid the registration woes QuakeCon had in 2017, it’s best that they take the time to get it right, even if that means delaying registration.

“BYOC registration is one of the most important aspects of the show before it begins,” according to QuakeCon’s facebook post. “To make sure that it’s a great user experience we’ve had to take more time to work the details out.”

QuakeCon further stated, “Please stay tuned, we expect to have more details in the coming week.”

Jay-Z: “Everybody Calm Yo Shit. QuakeCon is On. We got 99 Problems but a Registration Glitch Ain’t One

As April 2018 comes to an end, so does the hope of an April QuakeCon registration. This is unfortunate, but in no way should cast doubt on whether QuakeCon will actually happen or not.

QuakeCon assures us that QuakeCon is set in stone.

Given 2017’s registration debacle, we at QNN prefer they get it right, even if that means missing the original April 2018 registration window.

We’ll leave you with the immortal words of Jay-Z: “We got 99 problems but a registration glitch ain’t one.”*

That is truly a man ahead of his time.

*This was never said, or should be even thought of as being said by Jay-Z. Jay-Z has probably never heard of QuakeCon and probably would be perplexed why anyone would ever need more than an Xbox to play video games. Or why, for that matter, would anyone travel with their equipment to play video games in the same room.

A recent carbon monoxide leak at id Software turns out to be responsible for employees not announcing Quakecon registration dates.

“No one has come in or out of the building in weeks,” said Bob the overnight security guard at the Richardson office park. “People in the surrounding offices have raised concerns over employees cars taking up parking spots so we had them towed.”
