If you scroll up to the 'recent news' portion of this page (just at the top) there's a link to the booking form, tickets can be purchased through that (http://www.thoughtbubblefestival.com/08tickets.asp).

Due to the way the system is set-up they won't be posted out to you but you can just come and collect them from the box office at the Con on the day, and you can of course buy them at the Con on the day, but you'll lose the opportunity to get free entry to the after-party at the Alea casino (over-18s only)...

if you have any problems just drop me a message! :)
