    Hi everyone,
    So I know this is thinking very far ahead of time, but I just want to be prepared. I am finally in a place where the possibility of me attending a Celebration in the US might actually will happen... I've finally graduated high school. I've finally graduated college, and I have a job now. For the first time, I wouldn't have to miss a week of class to go to an event, and I can pay for it on my own without needing my parent's help/permission.

    I am posting this to try and get an idea on pricing and when to expect an announcement. I'd like to set a budget for tickets before they go on sale, probably this summer. Do they usually keep the same prices (for Master, Knight, 4 day, 1 day, I want to try my luck at getting a Master VIP) as past celebrations, or should I expect them to be more expensive than the previous one? About how long do they announce the next celebration after the current one? Should I be paying attention to the closing ceremonies at Europe this year for the possibility of the next US celebration announcement? Also, any other advice in planning for ticket sales would be appreciated.

    Thank you :)

    Hi,

    if you want a budget now already I would say it's a good idea to look up the prices for the last celebrations. They have increased a bit every time, but not a lot. The biggest chunk in the budget for me is usually accomodation. My first Celebrations I didn't stay at any of the official hotels, but on cheaper alternatives, depending on where that is that can mean a long way off of or just close by. In Orlando it's been well worth it staying in on of the collected hotels, but in Anaheim there were a lot of other alternatives close by, so it depends on the location.

    This is pure speculation from me, but I will prepare for the next US Celebration to be in Orlando in August 2017. There have been rumours that they want to alternate between the west and east coast, so that should mean that Orlando is coming up. The last Orlando Celebrations have been in August, and that would time all right with the December release of Episode VIII, I still think they want to do the Celebrations in spring/summer and not in the autumn. This is just my thoughts, and I'm pretty sure that the official announcement will be at the closing ceremony in London.

    So excited the next Celebration will be back in Orlando, it's honestly so much easier for me to get there than anywhere else like California. Looks like this is going to be my first official celebration. Freaking out.
