Play Expo goes back to Black(pool), skips Manchester this year
This will have been in the works a while but Play Expo will not happen in Manchester this year. Instead they will do another one in Blackpool around the same time. Another venue for 2019, not Event City.

Must admit i'm happy, would have broken my streak of every Play Expo show as i couldnt make it this year to Manchester (NFL game at wembley). The Blackpool one will apparently be 100% retro so that'll be cool

Got a dissapointing credit card confirmation from the October Blackpool event.

Great!!
Bad enough getting to Manchester from where I am , so got no chance of making it to Blackpool.

Re: Play Expo goes back to Black(pool), skips Manchester this year
From what ive heard from some its problems with the venue rising costs and that
There are bigger around one is round the corner, rumours are they will be trying for the GMEX, that will be more expensive that means even more expensive tickets and less games space
Moving to Blackpool has annoyed a lot of people in Manchester, myself? Cant be arsed either way as they have gotten a bit bland of late
Re: Play Expo goes back to Black(pool), skips Manchester this year
i was hoping to get to Manchester again this year. i found some of the talks really interesting last time, particularly the Rare guys.
Its a shame, but then i have just paid a fortune to see U2 in October so might be better on the wallet to miss a year

Re: Play Expo goes back to Black(pool), skips Manchester this year
Quite happy as Blackpool is only about 20 odd miles away. Be interesting to see this new show, they're saying retro only which is cool. Hope theres no Cosplay ! Most of the shows are the same but its good to meet lots of old mates, play old games and some arcade/pinball. As long as its got that i'm fine with themDPrinny wrote: ↑Tue Mar 20, 2018 6:37 amFrom what ive heard from some its problems with the venue rising costs and that

Ah that's much better , easier for me by far.
I used to go to the retro show in Croydon when it ran, ive forgotten what it was called now.
