FAQ LAN Area 2023

The role LAN23.user on Discord? Of course, we have that too! As soon as you have registered and logged in to the tournament platform, you can click on your user picture at the top right and verify your Discord account in the settings. When you enter our server for the first time, you will automatically be assigned the role.

And if you are already on it: Enter "/verify" in one of the CAGGTUS channels, so you perform the action yourself. Only then will your name light up in the corresponding colour.

Do you have everything with you? In this LAN checkliste (PDF, 167 kB) you will find a list of all the things you might need. You can simply check off which items have already made it into your suitcase and what you might still have to get. In addition, we've prepared a guide for you on what things you should and shouldn't bring with you during the LAN party. And no, slushie machines are still not allowed. ;)

On our arrival page you can read about the easiest way to get to Leipziger Messe by car or public transport. The entrance to our grounds is via Gate North 1. Access to the LAN will then be at the telescope entrance and at Gate 2.8 of Hall 2.

Are you arriving on Friday at midnight or later? You can find out how the check-in works for you in the section "How does the check-in work?".

If you have bought a Beginner LAN Seat, you can park your car in car park P2. On the map (JPG, 468 kB) you will find the location of the car park and the best way to get to the LAN Area (Hall 2). A long-term parking ticket for thursday to sunday costs 30 €. You can pay for the ticket on site. For further information about parking fees take a look at the city-parking website .

To avoid having to carry your entire set-up from the car park to the LAN Area (Hall 2), you can park in the short-term car park in front of the hall for loading and unloading. The maximum duration here is 60 minutes, after that time we will have to tow your vehicle away for a fee!

Your Expert LAN Seat ticket or Legend LAN Seat powered by XMG ticket allows you to park in the car park north of Hall 2. Then you can easily transport your entire setup from your car to your living, playing and resting place for the next four days.

After your long journey, once you have arrived at our exhibition grounds, please note the following points:

• 1. Drive to the North Gate 1 entrance, which is open from 15:00.
• 2. When you arrive at the North Entrance, show your ticket and your ID.
• 3. Park your car in front of the Hall 4.
• 4. Go to the check-in counter and check in. Check-in starts at 18:00.
• 5. At the check-in you will receive a vignette.
• 6. Write your license plate digits on the sticker and place it behind the windscreen so that it is clearly visible.

Please note: If no vignette or only a vignette with no license plate digit is displayed, your car will be towed away at the your expense.

At 18:00, the gates to the LAN paradise will open and check-in will begin. All you need is your online ticket and an ID document. You can enter the hall via the telescope entrance and gate 2.8.

You have a gaming chair with you?

• 1. Enter through the telescope entrance or gate 2.8 to check-in like everyone else.
• 2. We stick a barcode on your chair, which will be assigned to your ticket. This way we guarantee that no one will steal your chair. Now you can enter the hall.

If you will be arriving on Friday at midnight or later, drive your car in via North 1 and report to gate 2.7. There you will be escorted to our support centre for check in.

Your chair is waiting for you at home and you have rented a comfortable chair from Maxnomic or Backforce? Then you can pick it up when you show your ticket and ID. If you are arriving on Friday, please report to security at our gates. You will then be escorted to the Support Centre and can check in there.

The infamous XMG Friday Night Party is celebrating its big comeback. On 14 April from 8 p.m., you can turn the area in front of the Event Stage into your dance floor!

You can enjoy a regional apple drink or two and the best thing is: if you're a LAN participant or have a ticket for the entertainment area, you'll get in for free. Just don't forget to pick up your exclusive party wristband.

You not only want to experience digital adventures, but also throw yourself into the action with pen, paper and a dice? Then take a look at our Discord channel , where pen and paper rounds are already being planned. At the moment, Dungeons and Dragons (5e), Lasers and Feelings and DIE are already on the agenda. Four to five players can take part in each round. If you would like to lead a round yourself, please contact us in the Discord. :)

Red Bull will be there with an interactive action area. We'll reveal what exactly is happening later. ;)

You can already hear your stomach growling through your headset? In the gastro area in the LAN Area you can strengthen yourself with pizza and hot drinks, among other things, and refill your health bar.

• As the LAN Area is your new home for 68 hours, we have also made sure that you can take a shower. You will find the showers as indicated in our hall plan .
• In case of an emergency, the ASB will be there to help.
• And if you have questions about tournaments or other things? Just contact the support centre, the people there will help you!

Keep the following points in mind when you leave. If you arrived with your own gaming chair or bought your rented chair after the LAN Party, be sure to check out the Check-Out for chairs section.

• The LAN area will be open on Sunday until 14:00. If you still haven't had enough of CAGGTUS, check out the Entertainment Area. It offers entertainment until 17:00.

If you are travelling home with your own gaming chair, you must have it checked out beforehand. This is to guarantee that everyone leaves the hall with only the correct chair. Have the following timings saved:

• You can check out via the Support Centre until 10.00 a.m. on Sunday. From there you will be escorted to the exit.
• From Sunday 10.00 a.m. you can check out at gate 2.7.
