I'm bringing my GC USB adapter so we can play Smash (Melee) if anyone's up. Bring your controller, I'll probably have a spare one but the more the merrier!

i bet ur a puff main

At least via Hilton page (it's closest hotel to NEC, but a bit feather away from airport), twin room cost 304.50 pounds for 2 people from 23d to 28th 'couse i want to see a city after LAN if possible, but You need to pay in advance. Doesn't matter if the room is for one or two, but in my opinion it's better to say that 2 people are staying, knowing how hotels can act if something changes (if I'm not gonna be able to come, I can resell it).
I don't recommend to book hotels via pages like bookings and so on if You are staying more than 3 nights, 'couse most of hotels if booked via their own company pages are doing discounts.
I gonna stay at Hiltons, booked a ''Queen deluxe room''. It's a same size/quality room as "Twin deluxe room", the difference is only the bed types and both rooms cost 304.50 pounds, so +- 345 euros. The price is only for room: without breakfast/dinner and stuff. Wifi for the ones, who book via hilton page is for free at rooms, there is pool and gym in the hotel as well, and i think (i'm not completely sure) it's free to use.

Depending on the amount of people you can gather go for a hotel or air BnB last year I shared a room with 2 others and was £100 each for the whole of LAN. If you have like excess of 5/6 then go for an airbnb and share, doing it this year and it works out to £75 per person for the whole of LAN

Yes come camping! So far me, seeds, silves and poison (probably more I'm unaware of) are camping. I just recommend you bring earplugs

you're not missing out on much, but I guess you will have a good time regardless if you go with friends.

Camping sounds alright. Have you done it before? Because I have questions regarding where the camping is - is it inside the building like some conventions have (and therefore on concrete) or is there somewhere actually outside? - and also what security (if any) there is for valuables. Not that I plan on bringing much but still. And would the plan just be to buy a plot each with our tickets and group our plots together?

Sounds like a sweet deal though if it's only an extra £40 on top of the ticket price.

Edit: Realised I could probably get most of this info from the NEC website as soon as I posted, so here's what I found: Camping appears to be indoors (sorry if everyone knew this already RIP) and they have cloakrooms which I'm assuming are secure-ish for £1 per item.

Thought of another question though - can you bring your own drinks in?

I've done camping before, inside and outside. It will be inside at this venue on a concrete floor, it was next to a stage hall last LAN so it got noisy at like 9-10am, but earplugs help a little. There are security, checking wrist bands and bags, presumably for alcohol, but you can sneak it in your jacket or belt line quite easily. You get a small discount if you buy multiple plots at once.

Sounds like a good plan all in all. Concrete floor sounds pretty rough though, guess I'd need an airbed? I've got a few things to work out to make sure that I have the time off, but I should be able to make it. What day are you guys arriving, just so I know?

if anybody has space in their hotel room/a spare airbed for indoor camping im down because I don't have anywhere to stay yet

Yeah definitely get an airbed. Most people arrive Thursday

I think early Friday would be the earliest I could get there due to commitments the rest of the week. Hopefully there would still be space with you guys at that point. Getting hype though, I love plans.

I main Kirby in Brawl, am I a bad person?

Anyone looking to split a room? I still haven't booked a hotel or anything yet so I gotta figure something out, hit me up if you're interested (mayb some peeps have an airbnb with room for an extra degen?)

leaving it a bit last minute lmao

yea rofl i completely forgot about it, could've sworn i booked it already hahaha

Thinking of going last minute - any suggestions or any space available somewhere? A floor even, preferably indoors and not camping.

looking for a sheltered floor to sleep on for any night. will throw you some cash and act like i dont exist

Anyone at Frankfurt airport wants to meet up? Got 2 hours to kill before my flight, hmu on steam
