HERE IS HOW IT WORKS

The convention takes place at the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel April 17-19, 2009. The hours are (roughly) Friday from 6pm-10pm, Saturday and Sunday from 10am-8pm. In order to get into the convention you will need to get a membership of some kind. There are several kinds of memberships available from as low as $10. Any of the memberships will give you access to both GameFest and ComicFest. Once you have purchased a convention membership, you are able to take advantage of Casual Game Play at GameFest. In order to play in the individual Tournament Events, you will have to pay an additional fee for each event you enter ($10 per person). Please go to our tickets page for more details.

Tournament play will take place on Saturday and Sunday. All day Friday is devoted to open Casual Play. GameFest is convenient (next door) to all the StarFest activities at the Marriott Denver Tech Center. Between your matches, you'll be able to partake in all sorts of other great stuff that will be happening at the StarFest Entertainment Festival, depending on the membership you purchase.
