an announcement about the use of bonds at Runefest.
TL;DR: You can't use bonds to go to Runefest, book a hotel or travel.
Hi everyone,
As ever around this time of year, we’re knee-deep in planning another spectacular RuneFest and, yes, it’s definitely happening! We’re incredibly excited about this year’s event as we celebrate RuneScape’s 15th year anniversary and have a barrage of ideas to unleash at RuneFest 2016.
We’ll be sharing more details with you once everything is locked down but, just to tease, it may be an idea to pack your seafaring gear and beachwear…
First off, we wanted to give you a heads-up on one thing that we find ourselves having to change regarding the way tickets etc can be obtained.
After a long period of investigation and some in depth analysis, we have reached the conclusion that we’re unable to offer the purchase of tickets, hotels or flights using Bonds this year. This isn’t a decision we’ve taken lightly or through a simple matter of choice; there’s a whole host of complicated reasons that have come into play.
We know this isn’t what some of you want to hear and, believe us, we’ve done our very best to look at alternate solutions. However, right now, there isn’t an workable alternative to the situation we find ourselves, hence why we’ve haven’t been able to share full details on the event to date.
We wanted to get this information out there as soon as possible to give everyone an opportunity to make arrangements to attend RuneFest. As always, the whole RuneScape team are really looking forward to catching up with you all at what will be a spectacular event.
What we can announce now is that as in previous years, tickets to the RuneFest event will be priced at £99 (plus booking fee). Details of location, venue and date will follow in the very near future.
