What would the UK guys recommend as the best way to travel from London to the comp?

Can't you get a plane to Paris otherwise? I know most of us French players will take the same train to Rotterdam on Tuesday 14, you'd be welcomed to join us.

(unless you have unbeatable discounts on the trips to London, of course)

Thanks Mario but I'm arriving in London a week before the competition so I will obviously fly from there, seems easy enough.

If there is anyone around the London region who would be keen for a visit in the week before I'm sure I would enjoy it not to mention my friend and his girlfriend will prob want me out of the 1 room apartment at some point  Wink

Also a good 90% chance I will end up at the Nurbergring and F1 race at Spa the weekend after CDM if anyone would be interested in that either

I'd really love to go to Spa, especially since I'll be on holidays again the week after CDM. But I might be at Köln for gamescom too so I don't know at the moment.

Too bad I can't join you for "visiting" Nürburgring, this is something I need to experience someday.

Hiya, so I've been giving this a lot of thought, and I've made my mind up to attend CDM this year Smiley

I'm unsure as to what is the best means of transport though, and when exactly to arrive. I'm based nearish London, so I'm thinking flying to Amsterdam then train, same as moll, or maybe Eurostar to Rotterdam then train.

What time will people be arriving at the venue on the Tuesday? And to confirm, is the hotel Tues to Sat night inclusive?

And lastly, is it okay that I don't have any controllers or anything at all to bring?

Great to hear lad! You've made the right choice.

Personally, im flying in to Amsterdam Tuesday 14th at about ~9am (which is also my birthday so bring me cake). I plan to faf about a bit in Amsterdam, then catch a train to Alphen for about midday. From there im at Karels whim as I dont know where the fuck the hostel is and I hope he can show me. (I went for the hostel inclusive deal as well). So yeah, if you head into the airport for a similar time, we could catch trains together and talk about Molls tits.

Also dont worry about not having a pad. Im sure someone will be able to lend you a decent one, if not you can have my back up pad which pretty much everyone has said is the worst pad ever. But I like it.

You can contact me when you arrive at the station and get lost. It's easy to find the place, but having a contingency plan is always good. Wink

I'll pm my tel nr.

If there is anyone interested I have booked my tickets for Belgium F1 GP at Spa.
- I have General admission tickets for all 3 days, imo these are the best tickets all year in the F1 season and you can basically walk to any area of the track

Registration complete and paid, and flights booked! Am very excited Smiley
Sorry I took so long to reply Zarkov, was swamped with work these last two weeks, and didn't want to say anything until I'd taken the time to plan everything out.
My flights are:
Easyjet: land at Amsterdam 11:35 (so probably head straight to alphen - I hate early mornings, but I will bring cake)
Easyjet: land at London Luton 15:00

Thanks for the offer of borrowing your other controller Smiley but I will see if I can source one of my own so that I'm not relying on you/someone else.

Looking forward to seeing you all Cheesy

Well, it wouldnt hurt to visit this event. Just as a spectator!! Thats because I play SMK with a GCN controller.

SMK got me hooked lately. Would be cool to see some real life SMK legends play.


Seeing I live close to Amsterdam I can maybe pick up some people at the airport, to save people from this ridicously expensive train tickets. I'll get back later on this.

Ive been traveling trough Barcelona couple weeks ago and those prices were really cheap. Ok the seats smelled like dog but other then that I went back and forth to the Circuit the entire weekend for less then 50 bucks.

50 bucks get you a one way ticket from Amsterdam to Eindhoven last time I checked

PS. No registration or entry fee needed for spectators right?

Hah, if I had known this earlier, I'd have booked a train to Amsterdam and not Rotterdam. Dammit.

Didn't Karel say that trains from Amsterdam (is the station at the airport or next to it?) to Alphen aan den Rijn was just 15 Euros one way? Unless im wrong...

Yeah even less from Schiphol (8.50 Euros): http://9292.nl/reisadvies/station-schiphol-airport/station-alphen-a-d-rijn/ve...

I think RVZ must be taking the golden plated air train that runs through the secret tube.  Tongue

And I've been told that entry for spectators is indeed free.

Is that a change at Leiden or a direct with one stop?

And it is possible to book while there on the day, Sunday's return ticket in advance? I assume it isnt an open ticket, so we have to catch a particular train time?

It's always with 1 transfer if you go by train.

Return tickets are only valid for 24h, so you have to get the tickets for the return journey on that specific day. It's valid for every train you take in that direction on that day though.
