EC site 2013

Hey guys!

We know that the price of the EC are a bit high. Though it's not much we can do about it. The Nordic countries are expensive (and especially Stockholm) - we were aware of that from the get go. But with that in mind we'vedone our out must to keep the prices down. That has been our primary goal. We've manage to get the prices for the conferance rooms down to a third of the normal price.

My and Randy hope that this won't be deterant and that you still will be able to show up.

the problem is dat we have corrupted our girl's to play and now we must pay for 2 person, so 58+58 is very much expensive of 30+30 ^^.

Ooh, you already have, then I must applaud you! From the previous message I get the impression that they just come hang around instead of playing (and well, I haven't seen that many females playing on the last two EC).



And from the price point of few; it's not so black-and-white. This will be for me the cheapest EC this far, because the last two years the traveling expenses from Finland to eastern Europe have been so much more than the traveling from Finland to Stockholm will be. As also Hugh already pointed out, it is good that the EC moves around - because of many reasons. One of them being our lovely Swedes, who are contributing so much time and effort to this event.

I have now talked to the hotel and here is what I have for you.

1. The hotel promised me that they would fix the code so it would also be valid until monday the 7th.

2. The staff who handles discounts have vacation and wont be able to fix the code for another three weeks, but you can send an e-mail to the same adress I earlier stated and they can manually fix your reservation. ()

3. The pre-payment deal is cheaper due to the fact that it will not let you get your money back if you cant make the trip for some reason. This price will also change if more people book and buy.

Petri just reserved and paid for a room for us two (Fri-Mon).
We knew there was a price difference but were taken aback by how huge it was. This difference will obviously wither away the longer you wait before you make your reservation.


approximate prices:

normal reservation, non-cancellable: 260e
normal reservation, cancellable: 350e
reservation with the EC code: 380e

Want to stay in the EC hotel but save some serious moolah?
Then I dare suggest you place your reservation ASAP.

Randy/Isak,
local players wanted to know whether you needed decklists or not for the tournaments.

Non-local players want to know as well ..
