RUPERT LOMAN ON THE EUROGAMER EXPO
Why did you choose to expand the event? We’ve moved to Earls Court in order to accommodate more gamers – we have increased the amount of floorspace we’re using significantly, and we’re taking advantage of the Earls Court conference facilities as well. Our developer presentations will now be to 500 people at a time.
How are ticket sales looking? Any plans for 2011? We’re very pleased that tickets are on track to sell out in advance of the event once again. And although it is too early to commit to anything for next year right now, given the demand from the public for the event, it is likely that we will make next year’s event bigger yet again.
