DoughyA suggestion to maybe make it a bit more of a tf2 community feeling would be to get someone to talk with the insomnia staff and try to get a few rows just for tf2 players reserved. Is usually possible if people buy tickets and are in talks early enough since they tend to stagger releasing seats. Just need someone to lead it and for people to actually show their interest and buy tickets.
Just wanted to provide a quick update about this as we talked to the organisers of Insomnia about anything we could do on our end. An arranged/reserved area for TF2 is not something we or Insomnia can do officially so this will have to be led and organised by the community.

why do we pay so much to go to this event again ? its such an insane rip off and they cant do the most basic thing of giving us a dedicated area.

Normally not, but (unless they're not doing them this year) usually byoc tickets come with a guest pass you can hand to anyone who isn't byoc themselves, so if you've got a friend who is doing byoc ask them to have you be their guest.

since the seat picker is going live tomorrow, we should probably get something sorted for everyone to be seated near each other.

here should be decent but probably would go quicky. closest to the bar, PC rentals etc. obviously its a bit late to get a set in stone area where everyone could be around. fire away with whatever you think would be best and not obviously teams are going to get their own seating sorted

cant wait to have some random apex guy snipe a seat in the middle of my team.

coyo_geezercant wait to have some random apex guy snipe a seat in the middle of my team.
Just a tip that has worked in the past for this.
Book the two end seats first of the 6 and then fill out the middle. If you put your "clan name" or whatever it's called on the seat picker people are usually deterred from picking in them. If by chance they do then just book the seat at either end of your 6 and when you get to the event you can switch.
I'm pretty sure this sort of thing has happened before and people are usually more than happy to switch once they find out you're a team of 6 :)

Just to confirm this I asked on the Insomnia discord yesterday regarding this.
They said exactly as Surny suggested. People can get into the BYOC area with a day/weekend pass and then someone with a BYOC ticket can "vouch" for them as their responsibility (if they steal something it would be on you).
I also got told that these guest passes into the BYOC area are finite and on a first come first serve basis so those that are planning to come on Sunday you might have to sneak in.
Just on another point in case anyone is interested - parking for BYOC ticket holders is £5 for the entire weekend and you can get the parking pass when you check-in.

can you ask people to switch seats? if theres like one complete random surrounded by tf2 people and vise versa you could probably ask them nicely to swap with your buddy, if theres no policy or something stopping that

You can, it's been done a lot in the past. Just don't be a dick about it and there shouldn't be any problem.
