Multiplay are pleased to announce Multiplay Ultimate Gamer!

Featured in the exhibition hall, the Multiplay Ultimate Gamer arena and staff will be hosting a wide range of challenges for teams and individuals to compete in during gaps from their main tournaments, or just offer a nice retreat for some casual and social gaming fun.

Here is a realistic video of the Multiplay Ultimate Gamer challenge:

Ok not that realistic, but it still looks fun eh?!

By now you are all probably wondering what Multiplay Ultimate Gamer is, or at the very least questioning Dux0r’s sanity.

Over the i39 weekend we will be hosting regular opportunities to become a Multiplay Ultimate Gamer. Speed is of the essence here as you will be faced with a variety of gaming challenges to test all of your gaming skill. Only the fastest will emerge victorious and collect the rewards!

There’s plenty more to come so stay tuned! Oh and did I mention freebies?

Here at Multiplay we’re always dedicated to finding new ways to reward our loyal customers.
We all know that one of the most important factors of having an enjoyable lan experience is getting good food and drink.
Well, we’re here to help you out. Anyone who has a paid BYOC booking for i39 by Monday morning will be entered into a prize draw to win one of 5 vouchers for food and drink at i39 worth £20!

Want to get in on this amazing offer? If you’ve not already got a paid booking for i39, just head on over to our booking page and secure your place today!
We’ve now got over 900 places sold for this event and we fully expect tickets to be completely sold out very soon, so don’t delay and purchase today!

After the launch of our StratLAN season ticket, we had a number of enquiries about whether we would be doing a similar thing for the i-Series. Well we are pleased to announce we’ve still got some of the i-Series 2010 Season Ticket available!. This offers a simply insane discount on the cost of attending the i-Series in 2010, along with a number of other benefits.

You will need to act fast if you wish to take advantage of my apparent insanity though, as we are only offering 200 of these bargain tickets. The tickets come in two flavours: one for all four i-Series events planned this year and one for just the three largest. Head to the i-Series 2010 Season Ticket Page to find more, including how to purchase and answers to key questions. Hurry these are sure to go quick!

As we approach 3 weeks to go to the event the rate of signups and payments is ramping up! We have just past the 900 paid milestone which means we have only 700 seats left. “Only?!” I hear you scream! Historically we have seen over half the event seats sold in the last 4 weeks before the event, with it ramping to 200+ seats sold in a single day as people see them running out fast!

As we are now in the final run-up to the event it really is a good idea to get your bookings paid up and your seats picked asap. Act now before the truly mad rush starts!

If you have yet to book head to the tickets page. If you have already booked but not paid you need to head to the event payment page to secure it or call us on 0845 868 1337 between 9am and 6pm Monday to Friday to pay over the phone. Remember that your booking is only confirmed once you have paid for it!

It is with regret we announce the cancellation of the Halo 3 tournament at i39. It seems for a variety of reasons there just isn’t the uptake we have seen previously and running a prize winning tournament for the game just isn’t viable.

Instead, we will be using the resources from that tournament to go toward an exciting new feature in the exhibition hall which is due to be announced shortly.

Looking ahead, we will be liaising with the XBOX communities to see how we can improve things for the future, such as the i40 tournament line-up. We also still have other tournaments being discussed with sponsors so the line-up posted right now is likely to not be the final tournament list.

For people who were signed up to the Halo3 section of the event or tournament we will be offering a full refund due to this cancellation. If you wish to cancel your ticket please get in touch with us through our support site.
