kieron	Posted - 2005.06.22 18:34:00 - [1] Check your passport, schedule some vacation time and get ready to go to Iceland! The FanFest 2005 Information page is online and will be updated with new information as it becomes available. FanFest 2004 was one of the biggest events for EVE last year. FanFest2005 promises to be bigger and better! kieron Community Manager, EVE Online
Famine Aligher'ri	Posted - 2005.06.22 18:42:00 - [2] I'm comming! Quote: Q: I'm <insert pirate name> and I think there might be some players wanting to inflict bodily harm on me. Is there going to be security present? A: There is security on location, but the security works for CCP so you better not have podded any them or trolled on the forums.

CmdrRat	Posted - 2005.06.22 18:46:00 - [3] I noticed the need for a pass to the actual FanFest events, Will there be an aditional charge if we find our own way to Iceland for the pass? And can the devs provide a list of "pod on sight" players so we can know before we fly all the way to iceland only to get kicked out by security at the door. ________________________________________________ Except for Ending Slavery, Fascism and communism, War Has Never Solved Anything

Lintaka	Posted - 2005.06.22 19:34:00 - [8] I see no under 18's avaliable? Is there no way what so ever us young'ins can join in the fun, im 16 and I had a freind who went last year.. Iv been looking forward to going for a while now but reading the bottom of the page was a heart breaker.. What if we promise not to drink eh? I mean its not like you dont have security and im sure they will be able to see how old you are.
Kalbsleberwurst	Posted - 2005.06.22 19:37:00 - [9] I agree, at 16 I think we are responsible enough to understand the laws and consequences. This is like saying, I cant leave my house, because of the UK alcohol laws. I know that the under-18 market in EVE isnt that big, but still, every extra player who comes is good, right? Couldn't CCP even consider it, even if it involved barring us from certain events. Surely there isnt alcohol served at every single event.
Capsicum	Posted - 2005.06.22 19:41:00 - [10] Woohoo, I can't wait \o/ ahem I mean that I find this an interesting turn of event :) {The Forum Rules} \| {Email Us!}

2ippy	Posted - 2005.06.22 19:46:00 - [11] tbh 18+ sounds good, coz then there would be permission issues and it's certainly safer on the pocket if underage ppl wern't caught drinking Anyhow if children was allowed to go i'd have to molest em, and send em home to their mums in a bad U feel v sleepy..I am ur master..u will buy me a t2 item..

kieron	Posted - 2005.06.22 19:55:00 - [12] Unfortunately, we will not be able to waive the age limit. Every venue at last year's FanFest had alcohol available, be it the media center, the presentations, or the parties for FanFest or Airwaves. It's a party thrown by a bunch of Vikings! Would you expect less? kieron Community Manager, EVE Online
Winterblink	Posted - 2005.06.22 20:27:00 - [13] Originally by: Kalbsleberwurst I agree, at 16 I think we are responsible enough to understand the laws and consequences. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH! Oh God... wipes tear from eye That's rich. Seriously though, I know there ARE 16 year olds out there that are perfectly mature for their age. The problem is my local newspaper (and I'm sure most other) are filled with evidence that there's a significant percentage of 16 year olds that can't behave. Then again, there's tons to support the statement that a whole lot of people OVER 16 can't get their act together either. :) Anyway, wish I could come to the Fan Fest. I probably won't be able to though. :( ___winterblink/warp_drive_active/eve_nature_vraie//

I doubt some one with the mental age of 5 is going to have the capacity to play anything like EVE, just too complicated... but that as sad thing to hear, I was very much looking forward to joining in this year.. Just gotta hope CCP are still running EVE in 2 years time

Geldorf Drakar	Posted - 2005.06.22 21:52:00 - [18] Id like to know if under 18 years old with a parental escourt, if the age limit could be waived. Seeing as your parents would not liely let you drink I dont see why the age couldnt be waived
Resnik	Posted - 2005.06.22 23:06:00 - [19] Edited by: Resnik on 22/06/2005 23:11:38 Q: Is there an age restrictions to the fanfest? A: Events are restricted to 18 years due to Icelandic Alcohol laws. But mom! i wna go to eve fanfest, even if im below 18 /Resnik looks at Kieron with puppy eyes/ (I won't touch any alcohol drink) N.A.G.A Webshop

We could pack them off together on tours whilst we get down to the serious issues. No, but I too am kind of curious as to the amount of available free roaming strange in Iceland. So far it sounds like a very worthwhile trip, cool game and peoples, booze, no minors, to a country I have yet to visit, but it just wouldn't be complete without at least one right proper "welcoming".
Blacklight	Posted - 2005.06.23 14:08:00 - [32] BNC will be there in force, hopefully a dozen or so of us. I'm just waiting for the dates when I get repatriated to the UK so I know whether to fly from Heathrow or Toronto. Looking forward to this it should be a blast! Eve Blacklight Style
Malarkey	Posted - 2005.06.23 14:27:00 - [33] Enjoyed it immensely last year. Will be there again this year.
Mazjar Karaak	Posted - 2005.06.23 18:22:00 - [34] Correct me if im wrong, but the minimal drinking AND purchasing age of alcohol in Iceland is 20. So why are 18 and 19 year olds allowed to go as well. This appears to be discrimination against 17 year olds and under.

So why are 18 and 19 year olds allowed to go as well. This appears to be discrimination against 17 year olds and under. It did sound a bit odd, so I checked. Apparently the drinking age is 20, but if you're 18 or above you can be at a place that serves alcohol, which you can't if you're under 18. [Read the Rules!] - [Email the Moderators]

jamesw	Posted - 2005.06.24 06:25:00 - [39] Ok so the next fanfest should be in Australia not Iceland, because Australia is far better than Iceland tbh.

Alvar	Posted - 2005.06.24 07:49:00 - [41] Ouch - I know it's a day longer this year but a 75% price rise over last year? I'll be there, but my plans to stay on for a week will need some careful thought. BTW is the price hike only for UK/European players? US price looks similar to last year as far as I remember?

Yeah ... and why is it suddenly SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper for me to fly to france and go from there when its further away than London!?!?! Trip from France costs 400 of the Queens nuggets+Easyjet fare of 50 gold ones. Trip from the CLOSER UK is 600!!!?!? Can't you move it to a Virgin Atlantic destination? Then i can come for hotel cost only, a big consideration when you got two to pay for! EDIT: United States: 675 USD (400 of the Queens finest) ... im going via the states!?????!!!! Darwin 4tw
Discorporation	Posted - 2005.06.24 09:02:00 - [44] looks like disco wont be attending this year again ;\ [Heterocephalus glaber]
Wrangler	Posted - 2005.06.24 09:03:00 - [45] As kieron probably said a few times now, pricing is something you'll have to discuss with Iceland Air, not CCP. [Read the Rules!] - [Email the Moderators]
Jahl Freyzi	Posted - 2005.06.24 09:32:00 - [46] Hmmm... Not gonna let the UK pricing put me off going (/me checks wallet - 2 moths and a button - hmm...) But it does look like we Brits have been singled out for a significant price hike (and NOT for the flight from the looks of it) Oh well, see you guys there (thems that's going that is)
Monty Burns	Posted - 2005.06.24 09:33:00 - [47] Originally by: Wrangler As kieron probably said a few times now, pricing is something you'll have to discuss with Iceland Air, not CCP. Sadly me ol' mucker it don't work like that in real life. If we as a single person go to Iceland Airways and moan they will do nothing, however, if in this situation CCP goes to IA and says "Oi Oi! Hold on a minute!" then they maywell take note and do something about it. As it stands, i think you will find the UK contigent lacking this year, most won't be able to afford 600 for a few days and others like myself will say get stuffed out of principal. Contrary to popular belief, not all English are beer bellied idiots with MUG on there forehead Darwin 4tw
Lianhaun	Posted - 2005.06.24 10:03:00 - [48] So, the price I see for the Netherlands is based on 2 people, including airthingy? If it is I think Discorporation is going and I'll tag along This is not a hijack
Avon	Posted - 2005.06.24 11:05:00 - [49] Surely the UK price is Euro's incorrectly marked as GPB? Otherwise I know the pricing isn't controlled by CCP, but it wouldn't hurt if they had a quick word just to confirm the pricing is correct. ______________________________________________ Pay or pray..er..prey..yeah, pray you aren't prey. Er, just pay.
Wrangler	Posted - 2005.06.24 11:19:00 - [50] Well, I converted all prices to ISK, and I must admit I was a bit shocked, going from the UK is by far more expensive than anything else: United States: 675 USD = 44,750.5 ISK United Kingdom: 593 GPB = 71,386.6 ISK France: 615 EUR = 49,102.5 ISK Germany: 725 EUR = 57,885.1 ISK The Netherlands: 729 EUR = 58,204.4 ISK Denmark: 4410 DKK = 47,279.2 ISK Sweden: 5850 SEK = 49,738.1 ISK Norway: 5410 NOK = 54,355.0 ISK However, there are cheaper options, after some checking around, mostly on Iceland Express website, I found a lot cheaper flights: London/Stanstead STN - Reykjavik/Keflavik KEF Oct 20th - 74 GBP Reykjavik/Keflavik KEF - London/Stanstead STN Oct 23rd - 74 GBP Then you have the fan fest ticket, with the price not set I'm going by the price from last year, it shouldn't vary too much: ~50 USD = ~30 GBP And then there's of course the hotel issue, if you spend 3 nights in a hotel that's included in Iceland Air's package, it will cost you: 21 900 ISK/night = 182 GBP/night. 3 nights = 546 GBP. Luckily, there are cheaper options, searching Iceland Express Hotel site I found the cheapest hotel for 126 GBP, also for 3 nights (not per night). The total price for travel (including return), hotel and fan fest is: 74+74+126+30 GBP = 304 GBP = 36,596.2 ISK. You will still have to pay for the travel to and from the airport in the UK and in Iceland. And of course food and shopping and incredibly large amounts of alcohol which is really expensive there. The only thing not included in this self made package is the airwaves festival ticket, and I don't really know about pricing for it either. Also, please note that the Fan fest packages are prices for one person, if you book for 2 persons and stay together in a hotel, while the package I "made" is for one person. This is a package you'll have to put together and order yourself though, and I don't take any responsability whatsoever for it, neither does CCP, SÝminn, ISD or Santa Claus. But it is a way to get the price down. This of course works for people outside the UK too, but remember that Iceland Express only flies from Copenhagen, London and Frankfurt.

Gunstar Zero	Posted - 2005.06.24 11:43:00 - [51] no idea what's going on - but it's twice as expensive as last year from the UK. ú350 = "yeah let's go it'll be fun" ú700 = "err, uhm werent we meant to be going skiing and doing other holiday type stuff this year"
Avon	Posted - 2005.06.24 11:45:00 - [52] Damn, good work Wrangler. I'll look into doing something like this ... although I am dissapointed CCP haven't yet offered to cover my fares - my public needs me. /me listens for applause. ______________________________________________ Pay or pray..er..prey..yeah, pray you aren't prey. Er, just pay.
Monty Burns	Posted - 2005.06.24 12:12:00 - [53] Great work Wrangler I'm sure many will take advantage of your snooping. I however don't think I will be giving Iceland Air or any of its subsiduarys any of my money if they think they can rip us Brits off. It's disgusting and for them to think we would be stupid enough NOT to spot it is just plain arrogant. We appreciate that this is NOT CCP but, can Oveur not have a word as a "company" and express the fact they will loose out on English money. TBH, im not even sure I would go even if they did say "OK we will drop the pice". I don't like being treated like a mug. how can they justify charging us Brits nearly double just for the hotel?

Wrangler	Posted - 2005.06.24 13:14:00 - [56] It takes place in Reykjavik, I doubt it's a specific hotel, last year it was spread out at different locations for different events. Reykjavik isn't that big anyway. [Read the Rules!] - [Email the Moderators]

Gunstar Zero	Posted - 2005.06.24 13:38:00 - [58] last year it was round different pubs & clubs, then at a conference centre somewhat out of town.
Eris Discordia	Posted - 2005.06.24 13:39:00 - [59] From what I have heard Reykjavik has 1 major street with shops, hence in my humble shopaholic opinion it's not a city its a village For the men taking along their wives, I wouldn' mention this to them if they are into shopping.

Just trying to get an idea of what's what. There's about $300 difference in pricing depending on what hotel you choose to stay in. As Gunstar Zero said, it took place at pubs and places around Reykjavik, and one conference center. Although I think it was planned to take place at Nordica, at least one of the events, it had to be moved because there were so many people. And, face it, for $300, you can walk.

Heh, I wouldn't recommend shopping anywhere in Iceland, except in the tax free stores at the airport and possably some souvenirs. But Iceland is very expensive and chances are everything is much cheaper where you live. [Read the Rules!] - [Email the Moderators]

Wrangler	Posted - 2005.06.24 16:43:00 - [63] We (they) are looking into the UK pricing on the fan fest package btw. The airwaves festival is 19th to 23rd oct, so I'm guessing that the main events will take place 20th to 22nd oct, and considering 21st and 22nd is friday and saturday I'd focus on those days, but thursday as well to be safe. I doubt a schedule will be released until later, so it's a bit uncertain still. [Read the Rules!] - [Email the Moderators]

As Wrangler says above though, they are re-examining the UK joke of a price, fingers crossed CCP can swing some muscle with Iceland Air and its hotel joke ... er i mean prices Sad fact of the matter is it does actually work out cheaper to fly to the US and then to Iceland and sort out your own accomodation. Mind you my bird is VA cabin crew, ú300 Upper Class ftw! As i've stated above i am more than capable of paying these incredible prices but refuse to out of principle. This also means I will not even give them my USD flights either. Wrangler, Oveur ... our hopes rest with you guys!

Seleene	Posted - 2005.06.24 21:25:00 - [67] Originally by: Wrangler Originally by: Seleene So the actual EVE presentations take place at CCP headquarters or at a hotel to be named later? Just trying to get an idea of what's what. There's about $300 difference in pricing depending on what hotel you choose to stay in. As Gunstar Zero said, it took place at pubs and places around Reykjavik, and one conference center. Although I think it was planned to take place at Nordica, at least one of the events, it had to be moved because there were so many people. And, face it, for $300, you can walk. I'll walk around the hamlet, no problem. It would be nice to know though exactly where whatever is going to happen is happening. "Excuse me, where is the Kali presentation for EVE?"

MooKids	Posted - 2005.06.25 00:09:00 - [68] Unless the CIA made a mistake, I saw that English is spoken in Iceland. How common is this exactly? I speak only English and was thinking of coming, but don't want to stand out like an American tourist that can't speak to people, just be another American tourist that sticks out and has a funny accent, but can still communicate with the locals. -------------------------------- CCP can patch away bugs, but they can't patch away stupidity.
Wrangler	Posted - 2005.06.25 01:06:00 - [69] I think English is mandatory in Icelandic schools, it is in most nordic countries. I think most Icelanders know very good english, though some of them has a big accent. It does sound kind of cool though. Everyone at the fan fest speaks English, and I used English in all stores and such, so that shouldn't be a problem. [Read the Rules!] - [Email the Moderators]
corporal hicks	Posted - 2005.06.25 19:38:00 - [70] Seems to me Icelandair are just rtying to get as much cash from the brits as they can, I looked into this allready when Fanfest 2005 was mention and mailed Icelandair as I was thinking of staying for a week. Standard price for 3 nights inclueding transfers and Airwaves entry = ú370 GBP. Extra night cost in any of the hotels in that package is ú45 GBP per night. prices for normal Airwaves pass Now this is flying from Glasgow or from London heathrow so me getting this package and staying for a week will cost me ú550 GBP where as if I buy the fanfest package it will cost me ú735 for 4 days and ú99 per day after. total is ú1033 GBP or I could take a week break in Austrailia cheaper. The fanfest was good last year but paying ú483 GBP for the entry fee is abit mad (joke) I knows its not CCP. but this is the maths and I have the email I recived from Icelandair last month with pricing on it. Someone in Icelandair has alot to answer for on this. BTW I have only worked out the ones from the UK but it seems if you click the links on the fanfest info page on this CCP's listing you will find that the prices from other countries to it have also increased 70% or more as most of the other packages are for 2 nights or 3 night the ú735 package is a 4 night package. But having said that it looks like Icelandair said hell we got 200+ of these morons over last year lets throw a package together whack up the price far above our own Airwaves packages and rake in the cash. Shame on them! and CCp you should take action this is a disgrace. " Stay Frosty "

Wrangler	Posted - 2005.06.25 20:40:00 - [71] Well, I told Oveur who told Marketing, so you're a bit late hicks. I did notice that the price was changed on the EVE Fanfest 2005 page, to 475 GBP. Considering it is 56,333.4 ISK it does seem more like the real price. The odd thing is that it hasn't been updated on Iceland Airs site. But to be honest I'm sceptical, it seems like getting the airwaves package and then just buying the fan fest ticket from the store is still cheaper, or use the post I made about creating your own package. I'll try to bring it up early next week, see if it's the real price or if there's still something wrong. [Read the Rules!] - [Email the Moderators]
corporal hicks	Posted - 2005.06.25 21:47:00 - [72] Yes I have seen Wrangler what I was pointing out is the Airwaves package is ú370 for 3 nights but the fanfest package is ú475 for 2 nights.

Wrangler	Posted - 2005.06.25 23:41:00 - [76] Originally by: Avon Isn't the fanfest package 4 nights? Most packages are 2 or 3 nights, there is one 4 day package from France, and I think the US packages are longer, or at least they have 4 day packages available. You can also add days to the package, but it costs of course. [Read the Rules!] - [Email the Moderators]
Alvar	Posted - 2005.06.26 06:31:00 - [77] Hmm, ú475 is for a 2-night package Friday - Sunday, as is the French Ç615. Last year's price was ú340 for 3 nights, and Airwaves package this year is ú330 for 2 nights, ú370 for 3. Something is still not adding up Ah well, looks like booking Airwaves package and buying a Fanfest pass is the way to go, if I am going to bother, especially as the additional cost for extra nights looks to be less booking Airwaves.
Rod Blaine	Posted - 2005.06.26 11:48:00 - [78] Edited by: Rod Blaine on 26/06/2005 11:49:09 Last year was too expensive already for me, this year is nothing short of ridiculous If I may say so. For these prices, I can fly anywhere else in the world and stay longer, do more, be warm. I probably will not come. Luckily we just did our own little fanfest for our euro guys. I'll guess I'll have to make do with that. _______________________________________________ Yes yes, blogging is passÚ I know. Rod's Ramblingz on Eve-Online Solutions to your issues.
Blydchyld	Posted - 2005.06.26 13:18:00 - [79] I cant describe how angry this whole thing has made me. I find it quite a insult that as i need to fly from the UK that i have to pay so much more and the fact that some music festival is on at the same time and has a identical package is over ú100's cheeper. I think that CCP needs to talk to the organiser's. As it stands now im wondering if this is the arrangement for the travel and lodgings then CCP should arrange another company (Or Wrangler) to organise it. I can fly to south america for less, and i probably would if i had a coke addiction. grrr rant over. ------------------------------------------------ I want to be a fish.

Because part of the fun of the event was sitting around in the hotel chatting with other fans and drinking till the small hours of the morning. Not impossible if you DIY, but more difficult. I am hoping that IcelandAir can lower these prices, and pressure from CCP would help that. As it is, I wont be going at those prices. I'll be disappointed to miss it, but I wont be ripped off either.
Malarkey	Posted - 2005.06.26 17:30:00 - [83] May I also suggest that the Brits hoping to go to the Fan Fest do as I have just done; e-mail IcelandAir to question their prices, quoting Wrangler's comparison table. You never know, it might achieve something.

I had intented to buy the fanfest package when it came out for the simple reason of us all meeting up in the bar again at the nordica anyway. It was mearly so I could get a rough guess I figured the fanfest package at maybe about ú50 GBP above the Airwaves package so thought cool, but sadly I am wrong as Icelandair seem to be taking us all for a ride. Considering I am Irish I still have to pay for flights to Glasgow or to London before ever paying for one of these packages I will not be attending either this year as I have to pay in sterling and get screwed on the exchange rate and have to buy the extra flights and crap. Unless this is sorted ofc then I will be coming but not at the prices quoted I'm not a millionare. " Stay Frosty "

Oosel	Posted - 2005.06.27 14:01:00 - [88] as much as i enjoyed last years fanfest it pains me to say this at this years current price im digging my heals in and saying no. hopefully when they dont get the sold out signs like they did last year they will realise they priced it wrong and rethink..... but for this year im just going to fly via france and get in at a diffrent hotel and just pay the for the conference on the day
corporal hicks	Posted - 2005.06.27 14:16:00 - [89] Edited by: corporal hicks on 27/06/2005 14:17:39 Yes seems Icelandair are in the mindset to charge all of us in the UK and Ireland Double last years price so I guess its no fanfest this year for us. I mean come on people or CCP or someone last years price ú360 for 3 nights with a single supplement meaning ú390 for 3 nights and ofc it inclueded the Blue Lagoon. This year ú535 for a single room for 2 Nights and no Bluelagoon trip, adding the extra night on at ú99 and you get ú634 a overall price increase of 62% more this year than last year! not to mention the Blue Lagoon trip which was worth about ú35 again on top of that. 62% more exspensive this year than last year is insane or Iceland has some insane Inflation!

jason hill	Posted - 2005.06.27 14:21:00 - [90] me and missus are having serious doubts about coming this year ... as malarky and hicksy have both pointed out some very good points . getting bevveyd in the hotel and the blue lagoon were amongst the definate plus point's of the the trip last year .Unless theres some sort of change in the current pricing stratagy then im afraid that we may be unable to come "THE HUMAN SHIELD"

corporal hicks	Posted - 2005.06.27 14:56:00 - [91] Edited by: corporal hicks on 27/06/2005 15:02:02 ok looked at making my own package and came up with this 18-24th flights london stanstead to Iceland return with Iceland express. ú198 for the flights Flying with Icelandair on same dates =ú172 from heathrow cheaper again... 6 nights in the SAS Radison Hotel..4 star in Iceland. at ú54 per night single room smoking ofc :) ú327 for the Hotel inclueds breakfast ect. So total would be ú525 for 6 nights, have to do transfers extra and fanfest and Airwaves pass but worth it more than Nordica. " Stay Frosty "

The package based on a single room for 7 nights is #1,029 and for a twin/double #770 per person. this is to fly in on the 18th and leave on the 19th (to and from london) so...

Quanteeri	Posted - 2005.06.27 20:31:00 - [100] How much of the FanFest itself is planned around the Nordica Hotel? Does Iceland have taxis? Someone earlier mentioned staying at a B&B, which is an appealing idea to me also, since probably most of my time will be spent geeking out with all the space people and/or spacing out with all the geeked people, it might be my only means of tasting a little Icelandic culture. How cold does it get in October in Iceland? I would be coming from Florida, so subtract an extra 15-20F degrees for normalization. Does ReykjavÝk have an acceptable nickname, so I don't have to spell it again? Thanks. PS, still no one has told me of the Icelandic bootie count.

Malarkey	Posted - 2005.06.28 13:15:00 - [106] I may be jumping to conclusions here, but I suspect that the person at IcelandAir putting together the package still believes that the Fan Fest is taking place at the Nordica Hotel (as originally planned last year). Kieron, if it is possible to re-negotiate the package at this stage may I suggest that the Nordica is NOT the best hotel in Reykjavik for us for a numbers of reasons; it is too expensive, it is too far out and it didnt have nearly enough lovely ladies (lots of smart young men, but not my thing). I dont know anyone that used their pool, their gym or sauna, etc. May I suggest, therefore, that you could re-negotiate for a hotel nearer the centre that might even be a little cheaper? I would certainly trade all those extras for a shorter trip to the bars, restaurants, night-clubs and Fan-Fest centre. That's where I want to be. I'm not fussy whether it is 2 star or 4 star. Even if it is only for the Brits? And I really do want to see all those crazy nutters like Monty and Jason again. (I may also need my head examined).

I would certainly trade all those extras for a shorter trip to the bars, restaurants, night-clubs and Fan-Fest centre. That's where I want to be. I'm not fussy whether it is 2 star or 4 star. Even if it is only for the Brits? And I really do want to see all those crazy nutters like Monty and Jason again. (I may also need my head examined). What about me? you not want to see me again old man!!!! arhhh I will stay there also but I'm not a Brit...you'll never beat the Irish ole ole ole ole... " Stay Frosty "

corporal hicks	Posted - 2005.07.03 18:16:00 - [123] Just got a new Mail from Icelandair and you wont belive this one...... Quote: Thank you for your correspondence regarding the package for the Eve Fan Fest and Airwaves Festival. Regrettably for 2005 costs have risen in all areas. Matters such as exchange rate changes and increasing fuel prices are unfortunately completely beyond our control. airfares have increased fuel surcharges have been added large fluctuations in exchange rates - our hotel contracts are in Icelandic kronar and have to be converted to sterling the Eve organisers have asked us to include the conference fee in the package price - unlike last year. I realise that this information does not make the price look any more attractive for you. However I wish to make clear that this years prices are a true reflection of the costs involved. The standard Airwaves package does not include the same hotel but can of course be booked by anyone, although it does not include the Eve Fan Fest conference fee. I am passing on your comments to my colleagues in this office and in Iceland who have been involved in making this arrangement for 2005. Thank you for taking the time to give us your comments. They have certainly been noted. I am sorry that you do not find our Fan Fest package satisfactory on this occasion. Yours sincerely, OMG thats there reason for charging us through the nose...ahh well, Dam them anyway is all I say. The friggin Nordica Hotel is the problem here I guess. " Stay Frosty "
Malarkey	Posted - 2005.07.03 18:36:00 - [124] At least you got a reply. More than I did. Oh well, guess it will be a DIY package, but I'm damned if I will be using IcelandAir, I'll go Iceland Express even if it is less convenient.

Actually not sure if you have read my other posts yet apologiues if you have, the problem is not the Air Fair, its cheaper to fly with Icelandair to Iceland at that time than with Icelandexpress. The problem from what I can make out is the Nordica hotel, if you check there website the prices for a standard room are a whopping ú172 GBP per night and thats for a not very nice 4 star, trust me we stayed there last year. So really its the hotel cost is causing the problem. " Stay Frosty "

2ippy	Posted - 2005.07.06 21:19:00 - [140] weeeeeeeeeeeeee sunny vegas atm, so lots to do when i get bk, like get bribes off eris for where i got my package info from reading up so far, even with inflation and feul price increases, i doubt they can get away with charging double. TBH for that prices, don't go and hope the reality check hits CCP and forces em to fly the few DEVS to western europe next year. I'm bk monday btw so eris i'll sort ya out for a small bribe and i'll bring bk my sig online. I think one of the no frill airlines goto the venue and coz now i know iceland they speak at least poor english, i'm sure i can go cheaper coz B&B's > hotels. PS...

kieron	Posted - 2005.07.07 16:03:00 - [141] Yes, tickets for the FanFest will be available in the EVE Store for those that make their own travel arrangements or live in Iceland. Ticket pricing has not been set, but I would expect it to be around the pricing of last year's Fanfest. There might be a slight increase, but what is planned for this year is well worth it.

All you need is a friend in Iceland and either be prepared to send him money or if he is prepared to lend you money until you get to Iceland.

Is this right? No Airwaves tickets = No Bars?? If so .. that is crap! Its not completely true, but not far off. A lot of the larger bars are music venues for airwaves and so you can't get in without your pass

A lot of the larger bars are music venues for airwaves and so you can't get in without your pass Not really so bad, if you want to go to a bar with live music, you can pay the fee at the door and only the largest clubs are music venues for Airwaves. I think it costs about 1000 - 2000 ISK ( yes, real ISK, not ingame ISK ) for each concert. You can also just go to a regular pub with no airwaves and pay nothing
Nac MacFeegle	Posted - 2005.07.25 04:15:00 - [169] Originally by: kieron FanFest conference fee is included in the price of any package booked for the FanFest. If you booked an Airwaves Festival package, then you mis-booked and must either purchase a FanFest ticket (65$ USD) or cancel your travel arrangements for the Airwaves and rebook with the FanFest. Meh... I ordered the Airwaves package back in April. Ah well, already thrown US$1000 at this (extra four nights of hotel so I can make this a real vacation), so another 65 isn't going to matter.

Tara Venzia	Posted - 2005.07.26 09:40:00 - [173] if i can take my holidays then, i will try to come... never before i was on a fanfest and im curious how it is. tara
SPIONKOP	Posted - 2005.07.30 09:15:00 - [174] I would love to come but after much soul searching have to decline. The cost from the UK this year is simply to high and the more that go from the UK would tell IcelandAir its OK to screw the brits and the price would go up even more next year. Well its not. Last year was a ball and I am sad I am missing it.

Wrangler	Posted - 2005.07.30 15:58:00 - [176] I almost forgot, going to Iceland means you can get Duty Free stuff, and that doesn't happen too often these days with the European Union and all that. You can check their website here. [Read the Rules!] - [Email the Moderators]

Alvar	Posted - 2005.07.30 19:35:00 - [177] Last year was ú340 for 3 nights sharing including the Fanfest and Airwaves passes, staying at the Nordika (same hotel as this year's package), or ú400 for 3 nights single. The equivalent this year is ú634. I've priced up for 7 nights in a more convenient but less luxurious hotel at just about the same as the 3 night Icelandair offer if I add in the pass to Fanfest. Still trying to decide whether to bother with Fanfest, or have a week in Iceland in September and see a lot more of the country

Flights through Iceland Express were ú156 including taxes, and 10 nights at the hostel is ú150. Add to that the fanfest pass and you on about ú350. Plus you're staying for longer so can go on tours etc, or if you have the money, spend the whole time getting bladdered :D

How is it possible that eight days have passed with no answer to this? It's the one bit of info I'd very much like to know as well. Poor show huh? If it's anything like last year, the CCP events aren't held at any hotel! The "get togethers" were at a cafe bar (with private area) in the middle of the Reykjavik main shopping area (sorry, I forget the name of the bar!). The main event - the conference - was held at a conference (believe it or not) centre somewhere in the city (again, I forget the name of the conference centre - darn my old age and senility). And the other events were in various bars/clubs around (yes, you've guessed it) Reykjavik! As I recall, transport was provided to/from most events from the main hotels (well, at least the Nordica). For people making their own arrangements regarding accomodation: last year, all event were within easy reach of the city centre. hope that helps

Blydchyld	Posted - 2005.08.13 15:50:00 - [189] Has anyone thought about calling iceland air? I did, i asked about the price diffrences, i was told it was a additional charge by a 3rd party company that was requested by the organiser. I may be wrong, i asked the explination 3 times from a realy polite nice lady, but her english was at mach 4 (realy fast) and heavily accented. I asked whom the organiser was but she diddnt have any other information that that and wouldnt offer any othre info :/ Official corp nobody.

James Lyrus	Posted - 2005.08.16 17:06:00 - [190] Flights from stanstead, ú60 each way. Cheap nasty hotel, ú250 for 4 days (twin room, sharing). What else do I need to put together? transport to and from keflavik? shrug that looks to me like it's about ú600 for 2 people from .uk - well, plus the price of the EVE-fest ticket. One thing I do need to check out before going though is where the 'EVE Stuff' will be happening. I don't mind walking a bit, but I do mind finding that I need to be 30km 'over there' in order to meet everyone.

The Flybus goes from Keflavik to Reykjavik with every incoming flight, costs about 8 or 9 quid iirc. The public transport around Reykjavik is very good, and as long as you're staying somewhere moderately central, you won't have any problem getting anywhere. The Reykjavik City Hostel is really good value for money, and you can get a private room for 2 paople, for quite a bit less than you've budgeted for. It's nice and modern, and there's a bus into the centre (takes like 10 minutes) which goes frequently from just outside. Check it out. Then I won't be all alone
