1) A desk

2) A chair

3) A power supply (one socket) for your PC and at least 1 monitor

4) An ethernet connection

Key facts:
Desks are 3ft by 2ft (4ft by 2ft for Premium and VIP). Under 16s must always be supervised by an adult in the BYOC area. You MUST bring a surge-protected extension lead with you to protect your PC when in BYOC. You can rent a PC from Insomnia if you don’t feel like bringing your own.

Each camping ticket gives you a wristband that admits 1 person to the camping hall. You are allocated 2.6×1.6m (or 4.16m2) of space to set up a tent.

Minimum age 16

If you buy camping for 4 you do not need to camp with the other people you bought the ticket with

You may combine several plots if multiple people wish to share a larger tent, but each person must have their own camping ticket.

The seat picker is only for BYOC customers to choose seats in the BYOC hall, if you are a weekend ticket holder it won’t work for you.
If you are a BYOC ticket holder and are trying to sign up make sure your booking reference is correct and you are signing up with the same email your tickets were emailed to (if you paid via PayPal try the email linked to that).

If you already have an account but do not see your tickets, check your tickets were sent to the same email as the one linked to your seat picker account. If they were, try downloading your tickets then check again.

If you are trying to register a new account, check that Insomnia has announced the release of the seat picker for the current event. If it has not, then the software will not recognise your booking reference and you will be unable to create a new account. Keep an eye on Insomnia social channels and #announcements in Bean Dynamic for updates!

If you are still having issues contact the @Support Messages bot in the Insomnia Discord server.

The amount of open seats on the seat picker is linked to the number of tickets sold. There is no guarantee of more seats but normally there is at least 1 small extra release of seats, keep an eye on the Insomnia discord for any announcements.

Once they have been released, PC and monitor rentals typically sell out in 3 to 6 weeks. There has not been a second release in recent years so if you are relying on a rental I recommend putting the money to buy rentals aside in advance. Then you can buy them as soon as they go on sale and do not have to wait for a payday.

Nope, sorry! Only PCs and monitors are to be plugged into your power supply at lan! We might let you off for using your phone charger though…

The car park for i72 is car park E1 (near gate 1 at the NEC). Parking is £5 for the weekend for BYOC customers and per day for weekend and day ticket holders. You can enter and leave the car park as you please once you have your parking pass.
Parking must be paid in advance on the NEC website, if you are BYOC you ONLY NEED TO PAY FOR THE DAY YOU ARRIVE.

The car park is quite a distance from the Piazza entrance (where the event is). Shuttle buses should be running at peak times for arrival and departures but I still advise using a trolley to transport big items.

At gate 1 there is a 30-minute drop-off point (open from 4pm) that you may find easier to use, as well as the disabled car park if you are blue badge holder, and VIP parking. NEC security at the gate can be reluctant to let you into the drop-off point so be prepared to argue your way in.

If what you want is Thursday check-in, you can now pay £20 on the day at check-in if you have a standard BYOC ticket to be able to collect your wristbands. Standard weekenders can also pay this at check-in to camp from Thursday.

Weekend ticket holders may also pay an additional £20 to get a guest pass for BYOC access from Thursday evening. Usual guest pass limitations apply (see the relevant section in our FAQ)

If you wish to officially upgrade your ticket (such as upgrading to priority weekend to collect your goody bag), then you can contact Seetickets at https://www.seetickets.com/customerservice and request an upgrade. Bear in mind they may ask you to purchase a new priority ticket before they refund your standard one.

The camping hall will contain at least 2 shower blocks and access to the built-in NEC toilets. Each shower block is split into 2 rooms with a changing room and 3 individual shower cubicles (making a minimum 12 total showers in the hall). The showers are gender separated, and generally clean.
There are also breakfasts available from the cafe in the hall.
There are a couple of power sockets on the outer walls that you can use to inflate airbeds, however, you cannot use these for phones so you should either charge at your BYOC desk or bring a portable power pack.

BYOC guest passes allow BYOC customers to bring up to 2 friends with day or weekend tickets into the BYOC hall.

To get your band, bring your friend (and their ID) to the BYOC help desk in hall 4 and simply ask! You will have to sign a sheet to register them as a guest and they will be given a wristband that will let them enter and exit BYOC, as long as they have a valid event ticket for that day. 
Guest passes are subject to availability: when they’re gone, they’re gone.

Streaming is permitted in BYOC and the internet is good enough to sustain it. However, if you are streaming with your camera on then you should check that the people surrounding you are comfortable in case they do not want to be in shot.

You may enter more than 1 tournament as long as they are not running at the same time. All tournament sign-ups are released at once and include a rough schedule. You can check the tournaments you are interested in against each other and see if they clash!

There are several eateries dotted around the NEC area as well as the delivery to desk service in BYOC. To find out more see our food and drink section

No, you are fine showing your ticket on a brightly lit phone. Save your ticket to an email folder or drive to prevent you losing them and you’re helping the environment by wasting less paper!
