Oops, put this on prattle, but Pk can   me....  We're staying at the Marriott Marquis, cos the Hyatt, where we stayed last year, was booked. Either one is very nice and fun to stay at! There is another one, but I can't think of what it is.....it now takes three to handle the crowds that come there! |

Nope....not sold out, but ticket prices have gotten higher as of May 15, and will change again after mid July....I have the link, if it'll work.... www.dragoncon.org/pdfs/2007_membership_form.pdfThey call their tickets 'memberships'....  This form is for all four days, and a real bargain~ Covers all the workshops and events...but autographs and pics are extra! And there is a banquet, but we never have gone to that!  ;D There are hundreds of people who wait and buy their tickets when they get there, but the line is horrendous and even if you don't plan on going to one of the days, the four day ticket is still the best options....quicker badge pickup,for one thing! |

Thanks M. I have no clue how much that all is in English. At this rate we might be queuing up on the day. Are all the good hotels booked up I wonder?

Isn't he just doing the one day though? It's an awful lot of expense travelling from the UK for one day of Jamesing !
I'd rather save the money and wait and see if there was anything happening later this year or early next year ;D

Flights are anything rom £285-500 rom Manc to Atlanta Ditto, and the exchange rate is is at 1.97 dollars to the pound so you can pretty much halve whatever you pay for anything in the USA at the mo |

Thanks PK! I sent the email, just have to wait and see! I'm not really thrilled about the prospect of roaming the streets of Atlanta at night....twice!! During the day it is filled with people, mostly from Dragoncon...but after dark it changes. I was hoping maybe Mr Himber would hire a bus and just charge a fee to the concert goers for before and after rides to the venue..... Oh well, I'll figure it out!! |
