Meanwhile, to get into all of the festival and convention elements of TGE, you need to get yourself a delegates pass, which are still available at the ridiculously cheap price of £145, but only until Friday. Rooms are also going fast in the official convention hotels – The Queens and myhotel – so you might want to get booking those this week too.
