It’s “Game On” with Afrihost and rAge!
Friday, 31 August, 2012 at 09:45 - Announcements
It’s that awesome time of the year again when Gamers, PC fundi’s and everyone who just loves a good taste of the latest gadgets get together for the one of the biggest expo’s of the year.
Now in it’s 10th year, rAge is the brainchild of NAG magazine, SA’s leading authority on the gaming industry. The idea is awesome: instead of just reading about the latest trends in gaming, rAge puts them in your hands – with over 25,000 attendees, that’s a lot of hands! With loads of stages, stalls and presentations, this is a chance to see, feel and play EVERYTHING. For the serious gamer (i.e. NOT faint of heart) there is the NAG LAN that attracts over 2,000 gamers a year for 53 hours of non-stop gaming!
We think this is so cool, that you HAVE to be there! So we’ve decided to declare the month leading up to the expo as rAge Month! And to celebrate this, we’ll be giving away an incredible 60 double tickets to rAge, courtesy of NAG Magazine! These are valued at R120 each, so that’s an INCREDIBLE R7,200 in prizes!!
How it works:
Every Friday in September (i.e. 7th, 14th, 21st & 28th) we’ll be giving away 15 double tickets between 12:30pm and 14:00pm.
What do you need to do?
If you’re on Twitter – Send us a tweet on a Friday during September and include #rAge2012, and tell us why you should get a double ticket to rAge.
If you’re not on Twitter – Post a comment on this article on a Friday during September about why you should be the one of the lucky recipients!
What’s the catch?
1. You need to post on a Friday in September between 12:30pm and 14:00pm to qualify. We’ll be choosing the winning entries each week and posting the winners the following Monday.
2. You need to be ready, willing and able to make your own transport arrangements to attend the expo and collect your tickets.
Good luck, and we'll see you at rAge!
WINNERS!!!!

I’m the only one of my friends who isn’t going - we’ve gone to most of them in previous years, but this year I’m the only one not going because I couldn’t get my ticket in time :(
If I can win a ticket I shall spread the gospel of afrihost across the land!

Every year I am always at the show, this year can’t be an exception! Last year I got a nice ADSL voucher from Afrihost. I can’t wait to be part of this one again.

I will be at Rage due to me qualifying for the GT5 finals. My 2 sons want to join me to watch the races so the double tickets will be perfect! Afrihost’s reliable connection and constant speed enabled me to qualify so how awesome will it be if they get my boys there to watch the final.

If my I do not get ticket, my son will pester and bother me for weeks to come. Please, save me from that, so I can go and show him how real gamers gather.

It would be great to go, make contact with the newest and latest technology out there, to see where we’re heading as an employee of the IT sector in RSA. The added benefit would be to educate my baby brother (9 years) on technology, and to actually treat him to a fun day with me and my fiance. I think we’ll all enjoy it!

Finally I can go home; there existed a place not bounded by anything except your skills and your perception of fun. For some its partying for 3 days, for other travelling and unfortunate for parent its “I-pad,Ipod,i-touch, I-phone and they-Pay” but for me it’s about going home and letting my eyes bleed for 3 days with no sleep and red bull on my side and killing nooobs all day.
It’s about seeing my bro and sis “dressed” in costume and they look just like me in the inside…I am so proud of them.
H.A.F, we going home, we will meet noobs on - Operation Metro, Pandaria, or on frostgorge sound or anywhere else on the map…..let’s hope the ship will not miss our S.O.S
