Seating date

The seating begins at the 16th of March for groups larger than 7 people, and the 18th of March for the rest. There are a lot of changes to the seating procedures this year, so check back before the seating begins for the most recent information.

Groups

To be defined as a group of more than 7 people, one person has to be the seater for 7 or more people. To choose seater, go to geekevents.org, choose "my tickets" and choose a seater in the column for this.

Seatmap

The row numbering in this image is different than in the actual seatmap.

The rows are not split in the middle. A physical table is now one row, this means that the seats facing each other are now counted on the same row.

Zones

This year, we've split the arena into 4 zones (divided on 9 sectors) to make sure you get the best party experience. The zones are as follows, and the placement can be seen at the map above.

Zone 1, sector 1: Hardware zone

This is for those who enjoy hardware modification, building computers and similar. In this zone, we want moderate sound levels, so this is not the place for gigantic speakers.

Zone 2, sector 2: Silent zone

If you are one of those who want a seat with less sound, this is the zone for you. We do not expect this zone to be completely quiet, but advice participants to limit themselves to smaller speakers or headsets. This zone is close to the Creative area and ChillOut, which will offer interesting presentations and activities.

Zone 3, sectors 3-8: Party zone

This zone has no special restrictions, other than creativity and fire safety. This zone has the most seats; we are a computer party after all.

Zone 4, sector 9: Gamer zone

This is the zone for those who are participation in the game competitions, or just have an interest in gaming. We expect this zone to be calmer sound wise, to make it easier to focus on the gaming. We recommend bringing a headset. Other than that, this area does not require any activities.

Temperature

The temperature in the arena will rise with 5000 participants and their computers, which means that we must ventilate. The Ventilation will mainly consist of opening the gates at each end of the arena, making the seats on the outer left and right of the map have somewhat lower temperature. Generally speaking, the middle seats of the rows will have a slightly higher temperature throughout Vikingskipet.
