Flights and accommodation totaled at about €300 last year.

That was for five nights and with a checked in bag on the flight.

Registration fees might be anywhere from €10 to €50 depending on how many games you reg for.

You'd comfortably make this trip on €600, but it could probably be done for €100 less than that.

Flights could also be gotten cheaper if you're willing to fly Ryanair to London and Easyjet to France, but that's a pain in the hole, so we just went direct with Aer Lingus last year.

Right now on Aer Lingus flights from the Wednesday to the Monday can be booked for €125.72 or if you can stay till the Wednesday then the flights become €101.72. Flying out on the Friday is the same price (EDIT : It's actually €4 more expensive).

Wow this is really affordable

Orim · 16-09-2011, 17:23

It truly is. Even the hotel will only end being about €50 a head.

Food and whatnot isn't too pricey either. The only time I found I'd spend a lot was going out drinking.

It's a fantastic trip. The area is good and the venue is spectacular.

Misty Chaos · 16-09-2011, 17:38

Only 50 Euro for accom? That IS a good deal, wow! ( and of course, I have no problem with having to bring a sleeping bag. )

That said, I'll probably leave booking the flights till November personally, I know it might go slightly up between now and then but I've got a few things I want to sort out in the next month or so and my bank balance isn't still the best following my adventure in Barcelona in August.

And drinking? If I do go, I apologize well in advance for my behavior!

Orim · 16-09-2011, 17:52

Chopper has given out to me about it. It may be a €100 odd for accom but it's still a good deal.

Nah the place we stay in just has a load of hotties at the desk, so you're not paying attention while they're ripping you off.

I'm back working again, so I can afford it. Problem is I may have a regular holdiay around that time. I'm a maybe for the moment.

**Doctor DooM** · 16-09-2011, 22:56

Azza in Cannes HAS to happen. Seriously.

If only to see his face if he comes up against Deiminion

Sairus · 16-09-2011, 23:03

I'll definitely be up for this again.
I'll book my ticket nice and early this time so you won't have to put up with my incessant complaining of having no money
