Hey Snowstorm, it will be awesome if you make it!
I'm sure people will post/tweet/etc the ticket sales when they go online and I know I plan on buying multiple just in case some PC folks aren't quick enough on the trigger since there's so many timezones here.
As for accommodation and transport - if you look at the spreadsheet, there's a group of people looking to stay at the Green Tortoise which is a really nice hostel downtown, not too far from the arena. I would send Prophet9 your info if this interests you as I think they're looking for more people. Hostels are shared rooms but very affordable.
Transport wise, there's a bus system that covers everything pretty well that's also cheap to use. If you have a smartphone there is also an app called 'Uber' which is essentially a taxi whenever you want one.
Regardless I think there will be plenty of us here that are more than willing to help you out if you need anything or get lost
Looks like the thread actually had some good timing! Valve just posted more info about the tickets.
Dota 2 returns to KeyArena in Seattle this summer from August 3rd through August 8th.
All tickets will be general admission, which will cost $99 and give you access to all six days of the main event, where the top 16 teams in the world will compete for the Aegis of Champions.
We are not directly selling VIP tickets this year, but stay tuned for details on the VIP experience.
Tickets will be made available through Ticketmaster at two separate times next Friday, March 27th.
The first batch of tickets will be sold at 10:00am PDT, and the last batch will be sold at 10:00pm PDT.
Not sure when that is in your time zone? Heres a list of times to help you get ready for when the tickets go on sale:
Seattle: March 27th at 10:00 and 22:00
Rio de Janeiro: March 27th at 14:00 and March 28th at 02:00
London: March 27th at 17:00 and March 28th at 05:00
Moscow: March 27th at 20:00 and March 28th at 08:00
Beijing: March 28th at 01:00 and 13:00

Aight fuck0rs, it looks like i am coming. need to check flights and need a place to stay. will share room but not food thats already on my plate so keep your fingers outside my jaw range
Sorry everyone, I had to block public editing on the spreadsheet because people were messing things up.
Let me know if you want to be included on the list through this thread, PM or Steam, and I'll add you there. If necessary, I can also add people as editors, if anyone needs to organize accommodations/groups.
Again, sorry that extra steps are needed to make this stuff organized, but unfortunately we do have some jerks here.

We created a Hangouts group chat so everyone can easily keep in touch around the event. Works on pretty much anything, like Android, iOS, Chrome/Windows or just through Google+/Gmail.
If anyone wants to be invited, just PM me or post either your Google name or email and either me or any of the other participants will invite you to the group.
Reminder that this is a group for people attending the event, so everyone can easily keep in touch and talk to each other, organize meetups, etc.

Any suggestions on accomodation and transport around the area from those who've been there in previous years?
