    I helped out with the tours last year. It was totally awesome! :)

    Remember everyone, don't just show up at Valve along with the rest of the group if you didn't get a spot. They are capped at 25.

    Also look into Tues-Thurs post PAX. We had those reserved as well. Someone else had already reserved Thursday before last year.

    Have fun!

    I would be interested for Thursday, or Post-PAX (Tuesday through Thursday, with Thursday being iffy), as I'm staying the week after PAX too. Not sure when I'm getting in just yet but likely will be there for Thursday, Wednesday unlikely all day. Potentially a +1 for Post-PAX.

    I really do hope you hear back from Valve and its all a go. Taking a tour of their company is probably on a lot of bucket lists

    Quick note for those going. Did a bit of research and I'm estimating the tour to take about 3.5 hours. Seems a bit long to tell the truth, but if its true, it will be one hell of a trip.

    Also, are we just supposed to show up at Valve or are we carpooling from somewhere?

    Ok, it looks like my bf and I may be volunteering at Pax this year, so I can't tour on Pax days. Pre-pax and post-pax are still open for us.

    @The Word of Bird‌ They will most likely not be doing any tours on the long weekend because they never give tours on weekends (this taken from various searches on the internet so take it with a grain of salt). Please take a look at the OP to see what days are still open that you might be around for. I think Tuesday is the only one left

    Hey guys, sorry for the short hiatus.

    Our friend in Seattle dropped into the Valve offices recently to check what was going on. Essentially everyone is super busy organizing the International right now so they're not even reading emails regarding tours. One of their office managers told him that they'll start opening up after the International is over, so we should try resending our tour dates then.

    Other than that, both Wednesday and Thursday are capped right now with a good amount of space left on the Tuesday before PAX. The list is not a guarantee because we're not even sure if we have the spot yet. I'll do a looking over of everything by the time late July comes rolling around, then I'll shoot Valve some emails to ensure that we get the ball rolling.

    Until then, please take this event planning with a grain of salt, and expect more updates in the near future. Thanks!

    Lazorz, thank you for all the work! Really awesome job organizing this.

    Hopefully, Valve will be able to give us a tour. It's all in Gaben's hands now.

    Well, I'd like to get a +2 on any of the days pre-PAX that are available. In reading through this, it sounds like Tuesday is the day.

    Just as a reminder, on this forum we sometimes use "+ some number" for signing up for things. In this case, the number after the + does not include you. It's for other people who are not you. So if I were to sign up for this, which I am not, it would be "me + 1 please" to sign myself up with one guest.

    I've got myself +2 for the Tuesday tour, if you're still accepting singups.
