Viridian Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 At SLCC, Brandon's booth had fliers for the release party. I'd upload a picture if I knew how... It's at 7pm on November 13 & is hosted by the BYU Store, but will be at the Utah Valley Convention Center after all (@Kav & @Taliax). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainRyan Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Does anyone have a link to where I can preorder a copy of Oathbringer for the midnight release party? My wife and I already bought plane tickets to go to Utah for it and we wanted to make sure we locked down a copy of the book. Any details on where to preorder, good insights on attending the release party, etc. are welcome! TIA! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they were mistaken. I just didn't want to miss out! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mestiv Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Do you think ebooks will be available for download just after midnight? I'd really like to start reading as soon as possible, especially since midnight in USA is morning for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to read the ebook by 3am USCentral Standard Time when Arcanum Unbounded released last fall. I'm not sure how long before then it was available, that's just when I first checked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagerunner Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 They just announced how to get numbered books. You can get them from the midnight prerelease, the San Diego signing (which is on the release day), or order them online from Weller's, as usual. The link for ordering them online should be going live later today, at 7:00 PM MDT (9:00 PM EST, 1:00 AM UTC); I recommend anyone who sees this and wants to watch for the go-live, should watch Brandon's blog, and not wait here in this thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sophiehatter Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) I want to send some feedback to those planning the release party (for future reference). Can anyone suggest how best to do that? Where should I post and whom should I tag? Here's my feedback! Please consider giving us at least one to two weeks notice before sale links go live! Many fans are on a tight budget. It would be so nice if there was more time between the announcement about the VIP package and the time to preorder it. I am afraid it will sell out before some can purchase it (who really, really want it but can't afford it on 24 hours notice). This also applies to the limited edition merchandise. Also, I am glad there was at least one day delay between the pre-order book announcement and when the links will go live. More time would be better!! I usually check Facebook regularly and see updates. For some reason yesterday I missed the update and I would have missed the 7pm same-day link to order (and get a lower place in line). This would have been so disappointing to me! I remember for Bands of Mourning there was an announcement a couple of weeks before the link went live for the digital line. This is what concerts do too -- they tell you when tickets will go on sale, and you can plan to be there on the website right at time of sale. I have a lot of friends who love the Stormlight Archive who are super-busy professionals who do not follow every tweet/post, and might not catch up for days. It would be so helpful to have a buffer so everyone could get the word about the pre-sale/digital line/VIP package sales. Not everyone gets the word quickly. Giving a couple of weeks notice would allow for everyone to hear about it. (I am thinking here of life's crazy situations, health issues, work issues, other reasons why people can't always hear and act within 24-48 hours). And a huge THANK YOU to all who plan these events. I know it is getting soooo complicated! We appreciate all that you do and how fan-centric the plans and events are!!!

Iarwainiel I Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 I have a question about the release party announcement, and there's no way to post it on Brandon's site, so I'm hoping this is the best place for it. One of the perks listed for the VIP backstage party is " Reserved seating for Brandon’s Presentation." If I spring for the party (and buy the book, of course), will I still need to get a wristband at UVCC on that Monday? Seems like it might be a duplicate of what I'd get with the ticket to the party, and if I take a wristband and don't need it, then I'm effectively taking it away from someone else if the event fills to capacity. There's probably no rush to get an answer to this question, but I read the post 3 times looking for the information and didn't see it. Soooooo looking forward to this! It'll be my first (and probably only) release party - extra special since Dalinar is my favorite character (so far). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ordered the book from the BYU store. The link wasn't live until 7:09pm (I was refreshing every 3 seconds since 6:59). My order number is 485-SO809.

sophiehatter Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 We were checking twitter and the BYU store just tweeted earlier today that their website was new: "Come see our new look"! I wonder if that is why it wasn't/isn't working right for everyone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iarwainiel I Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 It took me several tries too, but I got in at about 7:10. Whew! For a few minutes there, I thought we were all crashing the BYU Bookstore site! I came up with another question that's not covered in the article on Brandon's site: Where it gives you shipping options, I selected "Pick up in store" - is that correct? I certainly don't want the items sent to my home - I want them at the release party! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
