TesLAN

Do I have to be a Thor member?

TesLAN is an event open to everyone!

Eventhough the 'Bifrost' account portal of e.t.s.v. Thor is used, you don't have to be a Thor member to make an account and get a ticket!
In the shop, you will have the option 'External -'.


Tickets and Pricing

The TesLAN is a non-profit event! The income from the ticket sale is used to make the LAN possible.

For the ticket prices, see the shop page.

A ticket is valid for the whole TesLAN. You cannot get one-day tickets, but you can choose to come to parts of the TesLAN.

Where do I sleep?

During the night there will be a separate hall (quiet) open for resting. This is available from midnight to at least 8 in the morning.
Bring your own Mat / Airbed, or fall asleep on your (rented)chair like a true gamer.

Competitions

Competitions
The TesLAN provides competitions which you (and your team) can join! You can win prizes for the competitions! You can find more information about what competitions take place and sign up for them on the competitions page, when it is published.

Prizes
The prizes you can win are not communicated beforehand. You can take a look at some of the winners and their prizes of previous editions in the photo albums.
Prizes do not include cash prizes.

Non-Prizewinners
Non-Prizewinners cannot win a prize in a competition. Their place will go to the first next player / team that is not a Non-Prizewinner. If a Non-Prizewinner is part of a team during a competition, this whole team is ruled as Non-Prizewinner.
Non-Prizewinners are:

  • Members of the LAN Committee (LANCo) 
  • Members of the TesLAN Crew that organise / host the competition in question
Seats

In the seats page, (once published) you can select and reserve the seats you wish to game at during the TesLAN. Be fast, to make sure you can reserve your desired spots with your team / friends!

Dinner, Food and Drinks

Dinner
You can get dinner tickets for the day 1 and 2 evenings! You can order them in the shop.
After ordering, you need to assign the tickets to your entry tickets. You can do this in the account page.
Also make sure to select a pizza choice in your ticket overview (Once we implement this feature). If no selection was made, we will make one for you based on statistics.

Pizza options:

  • Pizza Caprese
  • Pizza Funghi
  • Pizza Margherita
  • Pizza Four Cheese
  • Pizza Tonno
  • Pizza Hawaii
  • Pizza Salami
  • Pizza Pepperoni
  • Pizza Quattro Stagioni

For more information about the pizza's, see the 'Classic Goodness' section on Domino's website (Half! Half! is not included in our deal)

~ We are still trying to get a vegan option, but there is a possibility that these will be a little more expensive.

  • You can order multiple Dinner Day 2 (Pizza) tickets. You don't need multiple Dinner Day 1 (French Fries) tickets as you can get multiple rounds.
  • You do not need to order your entry ticket and dinner ticket in one go. You can order your entry ticket, then order a dinner ticket later.
  • You can also get or bring your own dinner if you want. Please note that you cannot have food delivered directly to the venue.


Brunch
On day 1 and 2, we provide a brunch consisting of various types of sandwiches.

Other Food / Drinks
Make sure you can survive 48 hours! Bring your favourite snacks and drinks. Stay hydrated! The cafeteria in the building is open during the day.

Access Route

The route to access the LAN has changed from the last edition due to construction happening to the SSC. We will keep you up to date on what the exact details will be.

Who is the LANCo?

The LANCo is the LAN Committee of e.t.s.v. Thor (Study association of the Eindhoven University of Technology). The LANCo consists of students (and recent graduates) that are spending their free time setting up the TesLAN! The TesLAN is non-profit and is a Thor activity that got... big!
The LANCo members have but one goal: Set up a LAN Party and make it as fun as they possibly can!

Groups

Going to TesLAN in a group? Awesome!
At this point it is not (yet) possible to bulk order tickets or buy tickets for other people at all. Every participant will have to register and buy themselves a ticket.

This does not mean you cannot sit together of course. Either we will build a feature to claim seats in groups, or we don't get there in time, and you'd just have to request a group seat reservation before a set of tables opens up in the yet-to-be-published seatplanner.

Thank you for your patience!
