UK PonyCon tickets are SOLD OUT · 2:55pm Oct 5th, 2015
Well, this was unexpected! Owing to unprecedented demand -- I guess partly because there's no BUCK this year -- UK PonyCon has completely sold out, which I don't believe has ever happened before. I'm not absolutely sure what the capacity of this year's venue is, but I'd guess around 500 -- and if that is the figure, it will make this by far the largest pony event in Britain this year. (Attendance was in the high 300s last year, with less space available.)
Unfortunately, it will mean some people not being able to attend -- at least one good friend of mine was intending to decide at the last minute, and will now not be able to come. I don't really see that the organisers had any choice -- fire regulations, insurance terms etc mean that simply adding another tranche of tickets is a non-starter. Still, I suspect that the convention may join every other UK pony con in becoming advance registration only next year...
