It’s no secret that the best gaming event in Texas is just around the corner, but other than the two big main events, do you truly know the scope of events at the Hunter Burton Memorial Open? Let’s take a look at some of the extras you may have missed:

OPENING CEREMONY – COCKTAIL PARTY (Friday, March 27th)
This event kicks off the weekend and is different then anything you will see at ANY major gaming event in the world. Meet our VIP guests, the staff of the HBMO, rub elbows with sponsors and vendors, and all the while enjoying live music, live art, dinner and drinks! In 2019 this event sold out, so in 2020 you will not want to wait on registering for this event! Dinner and a drink are included with each ticket. ($50 first ticket, $25 per +1 ticket)

SILENT AUCTION (All Weekend)
Sponsors from all over the country have donated items to be used in our silent auction. These items aren’t just gaming related, which means anyone can find something to bid on all to support a great cause. (Varies)

JEFF ZANDI MEMORIAL – CHAOS SEALED (Sunday, March 29th)
Not only is this a Chaos Sealed event, but it comes loaded with extras to remember one of our founders. Jeff Zandi! This event gets you six random packs spanning the history of Magic the Gathering followed by three rounds of an awesome sealed event just as Jeff would have loved. If that’s not enough, this event gets you a custom Jeff Zandi Angel playmat and a special secret Jeff Zandi item that won’t be announced until the event starts! ($100 entry, SPOTS EXTREMELY LIMITED)
