Saturday tickets for GAMEfest, the three day September gaming show from retailer GAME, have now completely sold out - with tickets for Friday and Sunday running out fast.
Over 10,000 gamers will descend on the NEC in Birmingham on Saturday, September 17 as a result - and will get to play titles such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Mass Effect 3, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, FIFA 12, Saints Row The Third and Disney Universe.
The likes of Activision, Nintendo, Ubisoft, THQ, Sega, Bethesda andEA will all show off their wares at the show - whilst both Microsoft and Sony have signed up as headline sponsors.
Tickets cost £10 for anyone aged 12 or over and £5 for anyone under 12-years-old. They can be purchased from www.game.co.uk/gamefest.
To buy tickets, would-be attendees must own a GAME reward card, which can be grabbed via game.co.uk or any GAME store.
GAME UK marketing director Anna-Marie Mason said: "With the fantastic line-up already in place for GAMEfest, we're not surprised gamers across the country have jumped at the chance to see and play some of the most exciting games of the year before anyone else.
"With lots more announcements still to come, fans won't be disappointed. The publisher support for GAMEfest has been brilliant and is helping us create a memorable and exciting event for gaming fans to enjoy."

Don't worry, this being GAME you can probably pick 'em up for the same price "Preowned" as a new ticket if their store prices are anything to go by.

Hopefully we'll get to see some U games that're on their way although it's too early for playable demos from third parties imo. I'm quite eager to see how games are going to look on hardware 4 or 5 times more powerful than the PS3 and 360 as well as what sort of uses developers are going to make of the touchscreen controller. And it's about bloody time that Nintendo came up with a name for the bloody thing lol

i'm really looking forward to this, with some big names taking part it's very doubtful this event will be a flop.
people should put aside their negative views & comments on GAME, they are putting together a games event in the UK with big players taking part, the tickets are pretty cheap & free if you use GAME points to pay for the ticket like i did, yes of course they are doing it to gain brand awareness & make money, but at least they are giving us gamers some event to go to.
i went to the Future Entertainment Show many years ago at Earls Court that was run by the owners of this very site & it was a bit disappointing to be honest
