Auto Assembly 2012 News: Jagex Support and Attendance Records

Posted on 07-06-2012 at 01:19 PM by Secretcode under Conventions

The team behind Auto Assembly have stopped by to announce a few things regarding the upcoming convention.

Online MMO games developer Jagex are busy working frantically on their upcoming Transformers Universe MMO. Back in 2011, Jagex supported Auto Assembly by providing us with a great selection of freebies to give away to our attendees, some fantastic t-shirts which we gave away as competition prizes, and donated what is still our highest fundraising auction items ever.

We're proud to announce that Jagex will be supporting Auto Assembly again this year and, they’ll be bringing boxes of stuff exclusive to attendees of Auto Assembly 2012. They will be given away as prizes in various competitions during the convention and we will also be giving away some in a pre-registrant prize draw. To enter this, all you need to do is book your tickets for the convention IN ADVANCE and you'll be entered (as long as you don't have a Partner or Under 6 pass!).

Then just check your welcome pack on the day and if you have a lucky ticket in there, you've won!

Secondly Jagex will be donating something rather special for our charity auction... They will be providing us with a very special print of artwork from the Transformers Universe game signed by the development team! At Auto Assembly 2011, a similar print that was signed by SIXTY members of the team raised an astonishing £350 and we hope that this one will do the same and we want to thank Paul Mayer and Eddy Dew from Jagex for arranging this.

Finally, we will be giving away Transformers Universe art cards to our attendees as part of the goodie bags this year. Featuring one of two different designs, these have great CGI landscapes on them and are great collectibles from the game.

Also, Auto Assembly has once again broken their own records for Largest European Transformers convention: With over four weeks to go Auto Assembly 2012 is set to be a huge success once again. Since 2005 we have proudly held the attendance record for a European Transformers convention and today we have broken our previous record that we set in 2010! This sets a new landmark for us at the convention as we have only previously set new records or attendance figure milestones at the convention itself.

Auto Assembly is August 3rd through 5th at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel in Birmingham, England.

Can it really set the ATTENDANCE record 4 weeks before anyone has actually attended?

Obsidian X

Good for you!
But if you broke your attendance record and wanted to share it, shouldn't you relay what those numbers actually are?

Erector

I figure they're waiting to get the final figures before they announce it, presumably at the convention itself

Simes

If we had released an exact figure to go with the press release it would have been fairly redundant as it would have been out-of-date within a few minutes as we're still getting bookings coming in!

We've beaten the previous record that we set back in 2010 with a month to go before the convention, but we will announce the final total at the convention itself on the Sunday afternoon (by which point we will have had the last of the on-the-door ticket sales and will have a 100% accurate final figure).
