Is the ticket refundable?

Yes, until Thursday 15 March 2007 12:00:00 CET

How do I reserve a seat?

You will be able to choose seater from March 7th, or possibly earlier. There is no limit for how many people who can sit together as a group. The seating will open shortly after this. Large groups seats first.
Please check out this guide if you don't know how to choose seater. Thanks to Tech:Server.

Where can I get a PTN-card?

You can buy the card at ptn when you have access to the shop. The price is 35NOK and the card will be sent to you before TG07.
If you want to use your VISA og MasterCard as a PTN-card this can be done via Your account - Member Cards.

What is the admission fee for The Gathering 2007?

640NOK + 30NOK fee = 670NOK in total.

How old do I have to be to attend The Gathering?

There is not set any age, but you will have to be able to take care of yourself. If you travel with someone in your family or your friends you should be okay, no matter what age, though our general rule is that you must be able to take care of yourself. The police demands that all of you under 15 bring a note from one of your parents. Please read this page.

How many tickets can each person buy?

Up to 5.

What are the chances that I don't get a ticket?

It is impossible to say, but in the past there have been spare tickets left when TG started. This is because they have been returned to us, but we have not had time to resell them.

We are 6 people going together, do we need to buy first 5 tickets and then 1 more?

Yes, that is correct.

We first ordered 3 tickets, but now we need 5 because two more wanted to join, can we just change from 3 to 5 tickets before we pay?

You cant change the number of tickets you first ordered. You have to pay for 3 tickets first. Then you have to get back in the queue and order two more.

At the party

How much space do I have at my seat?

Your spot on the table will be 80 cm wide and 60 cm deep. (Just like The Gathering 2005 and 2006.)

Can I bring a shelf to put up at my place?

Yes, within your table space, and without making any damage to our tables. (I e no nails or screws and such..)
It also have to be put up safe and not fall apart, security will decide if the shelves are safe to use, if not you will have to dismount it.
Remember, safety comes first. :-)

What competitions will there be at The Gathering this year?

Check out Compo

What speed will the Internet connectivity be?

2 Gbit

How much electric power will I get?

1Ampere.

Can I bring my own fridge, waffle iron, coffee maker, etc?

No, that will blow the fuses and make everyone angry at you.

Can I bring my own chair or sofa?

Well, it depends on the size and where your seat is. We have some fire restrictions to follow, and it is not allowed to block the space between each row.

How is the security?

We can not guarantee that nothing will be stolen, but we do have a security crew that will do their best for our security and well-being. It might be a good idea to bring small gadgets with you when you leave your seat, or make sure some of your friends are watching your stuff.

What if my computer or other stuff is stolen/broken at The Gathering?

The Gathering is not responsible for any economical losses, direct or indirect, due to circumstanses connected to the event. However, we have never had any big problems with theft or malice earlier and we don't expect this year to be any different. We do however recommend you to bring a valid travel insurance, just in case..

The Crew

Where do I apply for a crew position?

All applications have to be submitted at http://wannabe.gathering.org/

You can read more about applying for the crew at the Crew Information pages.

How old do I have to be a part of the crew?

Some of the crew have age limits, like security for an example, and others don't. All in all the skills are more important than age.

How much work is it to be a crew member?

It depends on what crew you are in, some crews work 8 hour shifts (like info:desk), others work when there are things to do.

Should I buy a ticket if I apply for crew, or can I wait until I get an answer?

You should buy a ticket just in case. You can sell us back the ticket if you are accepted.

I'm not a crew member yet, when can i expect an answer from wannabe?

The main crew application process is finishing within the end of December.
Some could be accepted after this deadline, but this is mostly due to special circumstances

Where can I find you on IRC?

Some of us can be found on EFNet at #tg, but we do not know anything more than what's already on http://gathering.org.
