    I paid €205, but I paid for one checked in bag and travel insurance.

    It was €162 I think without that.

    There is a voting system for the last game slot somewhere on the WGC website. I believe MK9 is currently in the lead, but an extra vote will never hurt its chances.

    Pffft travel insurance.....

    All I need is my stick. Ill buy shirts in a lidl over there. Cheaper than checking a bag

    Just going to bump this (and prob get in trouble for it) but is anyone planning on booking in the next few weeks and want me to give them money so they can book me too (and share a room with me, I promise I won't eat curry)


    Looking into the whole flight thing

    But now its more about working around my college schedule:/

    Chances are I can get my **** together, sharing a room?

    Karl...in a room with you, I would have a very clear line through the floor:D

    It's thirty to forty minute walk down a gorgeous coastline or about seven minutes on a bus that we hope will never cost more than a euro!

    That coastline becomes a lot more painful after a night of "preparing"

    How much is the weekend. Can't get that thursday off in work. Some big gig on and manager knows my sister so family emergency excuse is useless :(

    But I got the weekend off

    Will still be pushing for the wednesday if I can. Manager does not seem to understand I need week off to beat up french people in video games for some reason....

    The flight going out friday and back monday is ~€135, we booked a room for the two of us for €177 for three nights, but it can take three people so if you wanted in on that you're looking at €60 each for the three nights?

    Well put it this way, we have it booked and we'll have room so if you're stuck you can crash with us, i'd book the flights now though before they go through the roof!

    I'm still interested in coming to this, but I can't realistically commit financially until I have my December paycheck in my pocket.

    If anyone else books in the meantime, I'd appreciate if you posted up the details in the thread like Monsieur Chopper.

    Unique character means that no two people on the same team can have the same characters. Team Ireland can't have five Akumas for instance.

    I'm not sure if that means the Marvel teams need to be completely unique (Wesker/Sentinel/Wolverine and Tron/Phoenix/Viewtiful), or if the teams just can't be identical (Wesker/Sentinel/Wolverine and Wesker/Sentinel/Tron).

    And of course we're entering national teams! I need to kill me some Vipers.

    Also, apologies for me not booking when I said I would - I'm currently still trying to see how many days I can get off for this. I'm definitely going either way.

    I'm hoping to go Wed-Mon, but it's looking more like a Fri-Mon at this stage. I'll find out this week.

    Is that the time you land in Nice or the time you expect to get to Cannes?

    If it's Nice, you'll be lucky to get to the venue by four.
