But you get to pitch a short story!

That's crazy money, but then there are only eighteen of that grade of ticket available.

After reading what it offers I personally don't think it's worth it, but I'm sure there'll be 18 people somewhere in the world that do. Aspiring BL authors, mental fans e.t.c

That and the price bracket pretty much guarantees no drooling teenagers with rich parents will get one of the Golden tickets.

Why does it have an ISBN?

Wow, you get dinner with Dan Abnett.

But for £250 I'd want it to be candlelit, and just the two of us...

Pretty sure it's because these are included:
Quote:
• Two event-exclusive chapbooks
• The Black Library Weekender hardback novella
• A copy of the Black Library Weekender Space Marine Battles audio drama

If I lived in the UK I would buy this ticket in a hot second. An opportunity to get published -for me anyway- with a reputable company would be massive. If you think it's too much money, you've clearly never tried to get your work published.

Hell, I'm seriously considering paying somebody to go and pitch my Raiders story to GW. Or my Squats story...

Not sure, silver ticket also has an ISBN and does not include the above.
