tgokovenant Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Cologne you say - getting time off work if the main thing for me though I have been looking for an excuse to visit Germany Where are you from? And time off work is generally my problem too. Usually have to put in vacation for gamescom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil_evil_rozzie Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I live near Gatwick airport and about 40 minutes from London so really I have no excuse as I am fairly central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibobpipop Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Take a flight to Düsseldorf instead of Frankfurt, Düsseldorf is much closer to Cologne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheab Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hop a flight to Frankfurt. Then drive 2 hours, or take a train, to cologne. Hell I live in Germany and it will be a longer trip for me. I have to drive 6 hours to get there Or fly to Düsseldorf and take a train for about 30 minutes. I love to see the Cantina Tour back in Cologne! It was a lot of fun last year, so I'll be there once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argonloris Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I will as usual be at the California ones. Since my Bday is in the middle of the Los Angeles timeline I'll be sure to bring along some delicious cheesecakes for the SWTOR crew to join in celebration with. (I help run a small bakery so it's simple.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteu Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi everyone! Along with describing Pez in great detail, we promised on our stream last week to give you a list of the locations we have planned for the Community Cantina Tour this year. Below is the list of locations as well as the estimated date time frame for the events. As always, when we are closer to the event we will post a blog with further details for that Cantina Tour - until then these are subject to change! Boston, MA (PAX East) - April 11-13th We look forward to seeing some of you at these events! While I am very excited about the fact a cantina tour is coming to Boston itself; and proud that SWTOR,BW and EA will have a presence there- I also must admit my dismay. I have been a subscriber since day 1 launch and always said that when the chance came to attend one of these within an hour drive I would; but the location of this cantina is very limiting for people to attend. Basically PAX East was sold out 154 days before the first day of the event; so for someone interested in a cantina in there local New England city there is not much of a chance to attend. Though that brings me to ask; is this particular cantina tour attached to the PAX East event weekend but not within its (ticketing) walls itself? I would be happy to know, I thank you for any additional information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerba Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Though that brings me to ask; is this particular cantina tour attached to the PAX East event weekend but not within its (ticketing) walls itself? I would be happy to know, I thank you for any additional information The last convention they were actually present with a booth was at Gamescom 2012, since then, they have only been at bars and hotel conference rooms. I asked them about this at another cantina event and they said that if they don't have an upcoming patch they want to show off, it is just not worth the money to buy a booth. So they just do the events in the city of the convention since a lot of players will already be in town for those, but the cantina tour is completely outside of the convention. Even for Gamescom 2012, the cantina tour was outside of the convention facility; they put everyone in a bus and drove us to a bar where the cantina tour was held. Therefore, you don't need a ticket for the convention to attend the cantina tour. Edited February 21, 2014 by Jerba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of our events that are listed currently take place off of the show floor. If you wish to attend, you absolutely do not need a convention ticket! If you are in the area, I look forward to seeing you there, with or without a PAX pass -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if we just show up to the convention center and wander around looking for something that says "SWTOR"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibobpipop Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 They usually give the name / full address of the location in the announcment-thread of the cantina-tours. Example: http://www.swtor.com/info/news/blog/20140207 Venue: The Tabernacle Date: Friday, February 28th, 2014 Time: 7:00-10:00PM EST Address:152 Luckie Street, Atlanta, GA 30303 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienEyeTX Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Apparently DFW is garbage.... No disrespect to DFW, but why bother when Austin is so close and is "home base?" The only possible reason to do this in DFW is for people flying in. And there can't be THAT many people who make a special trip for the cantina tour, can there?

Edzew Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Apparently DFW is garbage.... was just thinking the same thing B^( No disrespect to DFW, but why bother when Austin is so close and is "home base?" The only possible reason to do this in DFW is for people flying in. And there can't be THAT many people who make a special trip for the cantina tour, can there? then why is there one in Los Angeles, CA and San Diego, CA they are both just as close to one another as DFW is to austin!! not to mention DFW is a LOT bigger than austin and a lot less hippies B^P it takes 4 hours to drive from DFW to Austin where as it takes maybe an hour and a half to two hours to drive from LA to San Diego. splain dat lucy!!

DARTHFERRUM Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Why haven't they held a cantina tour event in Portland, OR:rak_02: They held one in Seatle August 2013. Why repeat the same location the very next year? It can't be population, the two cities are roughly equivalent in size. Please change the Aug-Sept date to a Portland, OR location. Give the Rose City a chance to show it's love for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foambreaker Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I imagine someone has already mentioned that your coverage of the west coast is poor, you have two events on the far south coast right near each other and then nothing all the way to Seattle. Dump San Diego or LA and add San Francisco or Portland. Use a map, it will make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
