FLUKE 2024 pre-registration: HOW IT'S GONNA WORK THIS YEAR

 Hello! 

This post will contain (we hope) everything you need to know about pre-registration for FLUKE 2024 exhibitor spaces. 

FLUKE Exhibitor space lottery entries will go on sale at flukeathens.bigcartel.com at 10:00 am on Saturday, January 13. There will, at first, be 100 entries available. If they sell out, we'll make more available. Our goal is to make sure that everyone who wants a space at FLUKE 2024 will be able to get a lottery entry. 

REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY LOTTERY ENTIRES ARE SOLD, NOTHING WILL CHANGE THE FACT THAT THERE ARE ONLY 60 EXHIBITOR SPACES AVAILABLE.

You cannot buy more than one entry. Any purchase of lottery entries with a total quantity greater than "1" (one) will be refunded and you will not be entered in the drawing. 

If you use multiple emails to try to trick us and get more than one entry, we will find out, and you will be removed from the lottery drawing. Trust us, we will know. Don't get your friends to buy entries for you. Let's not be jerks about this. 

As opposed to previous years, there are no "locals only" exhibitor spaces available for in-person purchase in Athens. Locals wishing to exhibit at FLUKE should enter the lottery. 

The lottery drawing will take place on Thursday, January 25. It will be live-streamed. Right now, we're planning to roll dice to determine who gets an exhibitor space, but if more than 120 people enter the lottery, we'll use a computer program because the largest die we can find is a d120. The livestream will be a part of the regular weekly show from our OFFICIAL STREAMING PARTNER, Joker Joker TV.

Lottery entries will cost one dollar each. If you are chosen, the exhibitor fee is $15. If this seems like a crass exercise designed to generate more money for FLUKE, that's because it is. We're only in it for the money. Also, there was a 12% increase in our rental cost for the tables and we're passing that along to you. 

The online lottery tickets are sold using PayPal as a payment method. If you don't have PayPal, that's okay. Just get in touch with Robert at secondperiod@gmail.com and he'll make sure you get a lottery entry. You have to do this before Monday, January 22.

Lottery entries for exhibitor spaces at FLUKE 2024 will be "locked" and no more entries will be sold starting at 12:01am on Monday, January 22, 2024. 

More information will be posted here as it becomes available. Thanks, as always for your decades of support. FLUKE loves you. For Patrick, forever.
