GC 2008 tickets on sale

The Leipziger Messe thinks it would be a great idea to gift your loved ones with an early Games Convention 2008 ticket this Christmas.

Not only will you avoid the crush to reserve your place for next August, you will also save yourself some money as there are no advanced sales fees quite this early.

Just pop over to the Games Convention website to secure your ticket early, only you may have a little wait as it seems the site hasn't quite caught up yet.

Earlier this year over 185,000 people travelled to Leipzig to wander around the Games Convention, taking in all sorts of sights like models wearing nothing but paint, Sony suits playing SingStar and a peculiar music festival tacked-on for those who like a spot of evening entertainment.

We were there, but people still came anyway.
