Hello, hello, hello!!
As some of you might have noticed already, the tickets sale for this year’s (and first-ever) Minecraft Festival got announced a couple hours ago! (Check it out yourself at: https://www.minecraftfestival.com )
This announcement revealed a lot of interesting things, which I’d like to discuss in this thread! ^-^
Let’s start off with the date: September 25th - September 27th
When I read about this for the first time, I was a bit startled...
Although I do realize this date is scheduled so it matches with the dates from the MineCon Earth/Live shows of the last 3 years, I still think it’s a bit out of place since they didn’t take in account the holiday season or public holidays of the American inhabitants.
Except for Sunday the 27th of course, ‘cause we all know it’s National Chocolate Milk Day then! : P
Joking aside though, this might seem like a fun weekend getaway for Minecraft-loving Americans, but just imagine living in the West Coast of the U.S.A. ...
Since Florida is the southernmost contiguous state in the United States, these people will have to travel approximately 40 hours by car or around 5-6 hours by plane (if they can afford that, obviously).
Not to mention people living in an entire different (country or) continent!
I feel like they have overlooked the fact it’s no longer solely a livestream people can watch and/ or tune in whenever they got time, but actually became an in-person event people will have to attend, plan and prepare for. I think it might have been a better decision to host the event somewhere during the summer break, for example.
Next up: the tickets and packages
To be honest, I’m pleasantly surprised by the way they arranged everything regarding the tickets sale and packages.
It is actually the first time people are able to purchase one-day tickets for the event. Which I think is a good thing, especially for those who’re only able to attend 1 or 2 days but don’t want to pay the full price of a 3-day ticket. On top of that, they also introduced the Diamond and Gold packages which will provide a few privileges and extras. These kind of tickets also didn’t exist during previous MineCon events.
But I don’t really know how to feel about these ones...
I mean, if people like to spend an extra $135 just to get some early acces to a couple of activities and an exclusive lanyard + pin... Sure, go ahead... I guess?!?
Here’s an unofficial overview of all the stuff that comes with each ticket/package:
And last but not least: the capes!!!
It’s pretty neat it got officially confirmed that they’ll be giving out capes once again to every person who attends Minecraft Festival. We didn’t get to see MineCon capes in 2017 and 2018. And in 2019 they only gave out MineCon capes to Bedrock players.
But now they’re back!!! Every attendee will be emailed a cape which is compatible with both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. : D
A few speculations have been going around, what do you think will be this year’s MineCon cape design?
About the ticket giveaway now:
Okay, so since I won’t be able to attend Minecraft Festival this year because of the overly expensive plane tickets. I was thinking about passing on my joyful feelings to one of the amazing community members of this network by giving out free 1-day ticket(s) to you!!! : D
There are, however, a few conditions that must be met in order to be eligible for this exceptional experience provided by me:
- Once the ticket has been handed over/sent by me, the new ticket holder is obligated to attend Minecraft Festival (2020) and is not allowed to resell the ticket or cancel our agreement regardless of the circumstances
- The new ticket holder must be at least 6 years of age
Please, keep in mind I do have the right to deny the request for ticket(s) at any given time.
If you’re interested in this offer, feel free to PM me on the forums and we’ll figure something out.
Share your opinion!
So, that’s it for now! How do you feel about this event: the date, tickets/ packages, location etc.? Do you think you’ll be able to attend this year’s Minecraft Festival? And what about the capes? What will they look like??
Let me know by commenting your thoughts in this thread! ^-^
