As someone asked earlier, if admission is filled after 4pm, what happens to the people in line who didn't get in? Is there still a way for them to watch the match like maybe fitting a few more people into the venue or something?
I'm planning on buying a ticket to Seoul tonight but the flight won't arrive until 3pm on the day and by then I know people will have been lined up for hours. I don't want to fly over only to end up missing the finals :/

.. I think you missed your chance dude
If I had to guess they will most likely set up TVs outside for people who couldn't get in. But they have to obey saftey concerns and I'm sure that place is gonna be packed. We're talking about the last ever finals here for a game that is still absurdly popular in Korea.
Best bet would be to hope someone to get a ticket for you... maybe if they can show proof of when your flight arrives so that they don't think whoever you're asking is hoarding tickets? IMO it's not worth it unless you wanna vacation a bit in Korea anyway and are willing to cross your fingers. take my word with a grain of salt since they're all just my guesses (sorry)

Thanks for the reply Chef. ahhhh so disappointed
|
Jeez, 9am. I should have skipped my meeting and gone to try to get the vip tickets. I have no idea when the first train leaves bucheon. But I will be on it. if not, I'll just leave sinchon and go straight to Jamsil to wait in line.
|
Fuuuu ! I will have to wake up early on Saturday if I want to be there around 8am ...
|
I am going to wake up at 5am (if I can sleep at all) just to watch a stream. Count your stars :o
|
welp guess I'm going at 8am to get tickets. does anyone wanna hang out after? we don't have to stay in jamsil after getting a ticket do we?

Wow, okay, now i got a problem. Damm it, thought it would be just VIP-Tickets and no regular tickets... It feels really embarrassing and awkward to ask, because I am not a long member of the community and got hooked into BW over more or less over SC2, but could someone try and get me a ticket beforehand, please? I could pm or mail him my flight ticket or even my boarding card (I could make a photo of it, tomorrow after I checked in, if they don't believe the e-Ticket, because it could be easy to fake) I will arrive at 1pm at Incheon and try to hurry as much to the venue. Does actually anybody know how long it would take with a taxi from Incheon to Jamsil? (train does need about 85 min, according to what seoul metro says)

A taxi from Incheon airport to Jamsil will cost you an arm and might not be faster than the subway. Take the airport railroad to Seoul Station, and then eventually grab a taxi.

Okay, thanks for the information.

PL on Sunday will be at Yongsan, right? back to back BW!
|
So the thing to do is to line up well before 9:00 in the morning (well before meaning at midnight?) and if one manages to get a ticket then get back before 16:00 to enter and the ticket will have a seat number so there is no neeed to queue a second time?
Where will the queue/ticket distribution be, at the main entrance of the stadium or somewhere else (nearby?)?
Sorry for persisting with these questions, but having gotten this far, screwing it up would be somewhat anticlimactic...

From what I gather, there are two flavours of "Airport Express" (AREX) of which one is not so "express" (not a problem if you're not in a hurry as the air conditioning is top class and it's damn hot outside) so you should make sure to find the one that doesn't stop at all that many stations. That, again from my limited knowledge, also means one that will not stop at the stations were you can switch to line 2 (serving the stations closest to the stadium), but, as others have indicated, a taxi may be a better choice for that last stretch (line 2 seems to be the analogue of "circle line ", if you're british, and riding it from the airport train to the area of the venue taks some time, I can tell from doing it).

So they're going to be handing out the tickets at 9 AT Jamsil Student Gymnasium, correct?
|
I have been talking to the producers at OGN to try to make something happen for the finals, and they value the foreign fans of OSL around the world. They want to do something to show their appreciation for Brood War fans that have been watching for years, so they will be having an official English broadcast for the finals.

I will try to be in Jamsil around 8am, I hope it will be early enough.

That sounds great!
Wish they'd done this years ago though. Pity it happened just as bw esports is about to die.

Friendly reminder... DO NOT GO TO JAMSIL STATION. I made this mistake at Proleague finals, lol...
Jamsil Student Gym is actually at Sports Complex station.
|
Holy shit, 9 AM is early... To get there by then I'd have to leave Incheon at around 7 am. I'll probably end up there around noon for tickets and cross my fingers. lol
Is there gonna be a meetup like there was for proleague finals? 10-15 of us all met up, got tickets, got lunch, and spend the afternoon at a pc bang. If that's on the agenda I might bring myself to crawl out of bed earlier.
