I'm planning to come over from HK on the Thursday. Is it still going to be possible to buy in to the main event on Thursday afternoon?

Registration will open at 1000 on Thursday and I expect the lineup to start around 0900 (or maybe earlier). I have no idea when the event will sell out, but it most probably will sometime on Thursday.
We're holding 10 seats for each of the Mega Satellites and you might be able to qualify through those if you don't arrive in time.

Also can you confirm the "big names" who will be there for either event? Looking forward to this very much.
