Lyanna Stark Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Really, really want to go to this one, but am totally skint at the moment (on account of divorce), so hopefully you can get memberships at a later date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression Worldcons don't tend to sell out, although I suppose it's theoretically possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you can often find folks who bought early and then discovered that they can't attend for one reason or another, and who are willing to sell their memberships for their price (as compared to the increased prices that come at regular intervals).

DreamSongs Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Seriously thinking about combining this with some whale-watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 So I have my membership but, due to unforeseen bollockness, no job, and I haven't yet booked any flights. So next few weeks will determine if I can actually go or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamSongs Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Hmmm...I need to look at a cruise from Stockholm to Helsinki and hope. Husavik is nowhere near Helsinki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 When do the prices go up next? This is looking increasingly likely for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sini Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Hi, the prices will go up at January 2, exactly 00.00 Eastern European Time. Hope to see you there! (And no, we won't sell out, we can add more space to our contract with Messukeskus if it is starting to look tight!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Marquis de Leech Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 This is the sort of thing I'd have loved to go to (I don't have much experience of conventions, and amongst other things, it would actually give me a rare opportunity to practice my Finnish). Sadly, I'm stuck on the other side of the world, with no money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theda Baratheon Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 How are people planning on getting from the UK to Helsinki? I'm trying to think of best way...

SamanthaofHodorsfield Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I'm doing UK-Helsinki, and am flying Lufthansa. I'm flying Manc-Moscow (and making my way into Helsinki from Russia by train) and then Hel-Manc for the return journey. Some people are looking at flying into Talinn, which is only a ferry ride away. Also, when we did ArchipeliCon, some people flew into Stockholm and then got the ferry across - might also be a viable option, though tbh, I haven't looked into it. Myself, I flew directly into Helsinki with FinnAir and then flew to Aland, and it wasn't a bad flight. Price was reasonable enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Quote How are people planning on getting from the UK to Helsinki? I'm trying to think of best way... The cheapest way does seem to be to fly to Talinn (in Estonia) and then catch the ferry across the Gulf of Finland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toft Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I'm going to this but I have not done anything about actually organising it yet. Tallinn is nice and it can indeed be cheaper to fly there than to Helsinki direct. Depends if you like ferries - I do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
