Does anyone know whether you can pay for just one day rather than the whole weekend? It's what I did last time (two years ago) but the new application form doesn't seem to offer that as an option?

There are no day tickets this time round; full weekend tickets only.

Which probably means that there are a lot of people not going because they either can't afford three days or don't have three days available. Weird decision.

Something to do with FISM I believe.
I've heard a handful of grumbles about it.

I'll be there for 3 days though! woo! Who wants to juggle?

Perhaps you could organise an unofficial juggling masterclass? Dowstairs bar at The Ruskin sounds like an ideal loaction :wink:

by **Johnny Wizz** » Jan 10th, '11, 14:58

What will we be juggling? Beer glasses, bottles, flaming torches?

by **Mandrake** » Jan 10th, '11, 15:11

After half of shandy I'll struggle rather than juggle!

Having failed to make the Ruskin last year I am determined to do it this time. What I found was that I went flat out at everything all day, because it was my first Blackpool, and then was totally knackered by ten o'clock. I have learned my lesson!

by **Mandrake** » Jan 10th, '11, 16:29

I normally go all out and party, party, party. Most nights I stay up until 3, 4 or even 5 past ten....

by **TimEden** » Jan 10th, '11, 17:28

Disappointing. Thanks for the info anyway, Lawrence.

by **RobMagic** » Jan 10th, '11, 17:48

I will be up to party on the saturday only this year. If I want to run around the dealers hall I'm sure someone would kindly lend me a pass for an hour or so.

by **Lawrence** » Jan 10th, '11, 18:40

I'll be carrying a few juggling balls and a couple of contact balls with me everywhere so if anyone wants to learn some juggling then I'm game.

For anything specific drop me a PM and i'll bring relevant equipment (within reason!)

Well I went to the Ruskin a few years back, then I stopped going to Blackpool all together!

Went back again last year, and had a good chat to some people and talked some ideas, so it was really good - will do the same this time, Friday / Saturday evening.

Going home Sunday night though.

Hoping to learn something this Blackpool, not sure about all the names they have released, only heard of a few of them. BOOM!
