Event Details
How many gamers are coming?
We expect around 100 gamers at WINLAN7. The event has grown steadily since the first WINLAN over three years ago, and it’s always a great time! We had over 85 attendess at our last LAN.
How fast is the internet at the event?
We have an ultra-high-speed 10 Gbps (that's GIGAbits per second!) dedicated internet connection. This is roughly a bazillion times faster than your home's internet connection. Let's just say that lag and slow download speeds won't be a problem. :)
Will there be gaming consoles?
While most people game on the PC, we do have a console presence at WIN LAN. We will have 2 HD projectors connected to a PS4 and Wii U (ultra large screens). Bring your own console and hook it up if you would like. We will also have some 40" TVs setup that you can connect to.
Is there an age requirement to attend the event?
Yes there is. If you are under 16 year olds you must be accompanied by an adult at all times and have your legal guardian fill out the waiver prior to attending.
Are you 16 & 17 years old? You can attend alone, but must still bring a completed waiver signed by your parent or legal guardian.
Where do I park my car?
There is ample parking at the Banbury building (where WINLAN is held) for all attendees.
What is the refund policy?
Tickets are transferrable to the next LAN, but are not refundable. All sales final. If you got a "free" ticket and you can't make the event - please let us know if you're not coming by emailing admin@winlanparty.com so that we can free up your seat.
