Uhm, there is(and always has been) a foreigner ticket that is much cheaper, so I don't think this is anything new for this year?
It seems the progamer-ticket still is pretty expensive, go figure. But the event have attracted some foreign progamers before, not sure how much they payed though.
Anyways, it's nice that SC2 eventually get some special treatment, with this being a new game and all.

I hope something gets setup for progamers so they dont have to pay any (or a big part of) the entry fee. Big prize pool but that entry fee is a turnoff to many progamers i would assume. Would be a shame to not see a ton of good players fight for that large amount of money. And im sure having progamers there would attract more regular lan nerds too.
What you need to understand is that The Gathering is a LAN Party with emphesis on the LAN Party bit and not a esport LAN like DH. Even if its expensive it always draws 5000+ gamers and nerds in general. However with esport being what it is it also supports progamers through the progamer ticket which wont let you have a regular seat, but will give you a tournament computer. Also the foreigner ticket is cheap since you guys don't have as much money as us!

The entrance fee is pretty standard for something of this size in Norway. What I am wondering is if the tournament is supposed to be something for the regular LAN participants, or if they are trying to get pro-gamers this year. If its the last, the pro gamers should get free entrance as the tournament will be part of the entertainment, and the pro-gamers won't be there for the full event, but just for the tournie.

Anyone participating in the tournament, invited or not will have to pay the entry fee.

It will always be a LAN party over a esport lan, you forget why The Gathering started 
Its not like The Gathering will have problems filling the tournaments if the progamers dont turn up, there are like 5200 players that can join if they want
Besides if you're traveling from abroad to TG, 50 Euros is the LEAST of your worries rofl.

Well, the honest answer is that I have no idea. My only "job" is the SC2-compo, and we will release more information about it real soon = )
But the seatmap, no idea.

The Gathering isn't really any eSport event, sickload techno music all the time, tickets come out around December and info about prize pool is out one month before the event (February/March), so most of the time it's impossible to get foreigner tickets (they cost 70$, but it's BYOC) if you wait for prize pool to be announce.. Kekekeke go get sponsored by QPAD and you can play at their stand, they've been there each year now since 06 or something (In 08 MYM's Polish CS team played the CS compo at their stand). glgl

The Gathering can now announce foreigner ticket for Pro-Gaming as well. The foreigner tickets costs 50% less than the normal tickets.
Foreigner tickets will cost 400 NOK ~ $70

I really hope they let everyone that want to participate in on the turnament, but with seeds so players like for instance morrow if he decides to come get's in on the later stages with bo3's so we don't see great players cheesed out early in bo1 matches.
I also hope we can get some streaming going with commentary, so us at the gathering and people not participating can watch norways best players duking it out, we're basicly better than koreans you just never see us play!
Keep up the good work myndig
