Two new LAN events that were planning to be operational in 2012 have both shut down attempts to start new LAN’s after problems with securing suitable Venues.
ReBoot LAN in Dunedin has pulled the plug after attempts for several months to secure a suitable venue ended in the plug being pulled. Now a New largescale LAN event in Wellington has pulled the idea after negotiations fell through for the use of a major venue in Wellington.
Both events have stated that Venues with suitable power, Internet and Costings are hard to find, with ReBoot surveying more than 20 venues before deciding to pull the plug.
The Wellington based event which hadn’t even thought up a name, said that negoiations had started with a Wellington based venue but had broken down after the venue became concerned about Power consumption and security. The Event Organizer, James has said they will shelve the idea until later in the year once the 2012 University year is complete.
Are suitable venues becoming harder to find?
