An Old Head 4,816 February 4, 2014 Share February 4, 2014 (edited) Official BUCK 2014 Website Official BUCK 2014 Facebook Group After the phenomenal success of BUCK 2013 (one of the best weekends ever) BUCK is back to host Europe's largest Brony convention once more! This thread will be updated for news and discussion about the convention as it is released. Make sure you check out the website, and join the Facebook group if you're going to be heading up to Manchester for a convention you'll never forget! The venue this year is Manchester Central. Because the con has outgrown the Bridgewater Hall next to it, this disused train station-turned-convention centre is right in the heart of the city. 01/03/2014 - Update - Tickets On Sale Tickets are now on sale! Go grab 'em before you miss 'em! Click on the image below to take you straight there. 17/02/2014 - Update - First 3 Guests Announced Alright, first guest announcement We've got three new guests confirmed for BUCK, including: G.M. Berrows, who writes the MLP chapter books! She's on the VIP list, meaning she's included in the Celestia tier VIP meal. Yami Bjork, probably the most famous MLP cosplayer who ran the Cosplay Competition last year, is making a return ^^ Twigileia, a hugely talented community artist all the way from Slovenia ^^ No seriously, she is really talented. 02/02/2014 - Update - Ticket Prices Up The ticket prices have just been revealed! They're not on sale yet, this is just a taster of the ticket format this year. With it is revealed that the Summer Sun Celebration, the hugely successful pre-con music festival, is making a return! (Make sure you go to this, by the way, it's the biggest party, Pinkie Pie wouldn't know what to say.) More detail on what these tickets encompass can be found on the website ticket page. I myself will be copping the 20% Cooler tier. Now let's just wait for them to actually go on sale n.n Important to note, however - unlike last year, not all of these tickets are going to be sold in waves. So when the Standard tickets are sold out, there won't be a second wave of them, because there's just so many on offer given the size of the venue The 20% Cooler and Celestia tiers will still be in waves, though, so do not fret if you were looking to buy either tier and they're sold out. n.n Edited March 1, 2014 by Flipturn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen 1,354 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 (edited) I'm debating whether or not I should get the 20% cooler ticket now or not. I know I said I would last year but between this, saving to move to a new place (unsuccessfully) and BJJ, it all adds up as I'm trying to budget for staying in a hostel, summer sun celebration which I definitely said I'd go to last year and I'm not backing out on that one, and getting there (good thing I live in London, makes things that much easier). But either way, I know it'll be worthwhile purely for the sake of the new venue. Dammit, I'm already hyped. Plus, it takes place in August, so it should be really hot by then, just the way I want it Edited February 17, 2014 by Freedan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Old Head 4,816 March 1, 2014 Author Share March 1, 2014 Tickets are on sale folks! They're all in one big batch this year, so make sure you get yours fast - if a ticket tier sells out, they won't be doing a Wave 2 like last year. What they won't run out of is normal access tickets; so you can come to BUCK at any point at all! ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars Caramel 319 March 1, 2014 Share March 1, 2014 If I do gather the courage to go, I'll just go for a standard ticket. Might be a good idea if it's your first time and you're at most curious as to how it would exactly turn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moost 164 March 31, 2014 Share March 31, 2014 Gosh I wish I could go but it's in Manchester. I'm from Swindon (Yeah laugh all you want). Anyway I'm too young to drive and I don't want to risk exposing my broniness, though it would have totally been worth it.

Dr. Frasier Crane 319 May 10, 2014 Share May 10, 2014 I'd love to go, Manchester's only really down the road from me, but I don't think I can afford it. Will there be cheaper tickets on the door or do you have to buy them online? +~ Liebe ist für alle da ~+ My Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/shikarilukari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yozer247 1,006 August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 I have to say that BUCK was absolutely awesome. It was my first con ever and im not disappointed. The panels were funny and interesting and oh my god the cosplays were awesome. I actually met people and made friends with another person with the same name as me ^^ I was a little sad about the lack of plushies on sale though :C I think my favourite part has to be at the end of the cosplay competition when the space marine walked in and the crowd starting shouting "FOR THE EMPEROR" Sig by No DDR machines were harmed in the making of this signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
