When's best for you?

I tried to book a room on the Travelodge site. Everything went well until payment; after having filled the form and entered the code required by the "Verified by Visa" system, the site simply freezed, waiting for another site which didn't answer, until a timeout happened. Did anybody else run into the same problem ? I still have 1 room in my basket, so I guess the payment hasn't actually occurred, crossing fingers...

After looking at hotel prices and a quick conversation, it's been pointed out that this is the weekend of St. Patrick's Day. Maybe that has something to do with the issues? Prices are kinda ridiculous.

Flights are also abnormally high. I'd be willing to sleep on the floor with like 6 people to a room, but how ridiculous do you mean, like £150/night level?
 
Travelodge for Saturday night is £120+, Friday night is £60+, Sunday night is about £30. Still googling though.

Edit: Was going to stay the weekend with my girlfriend, but the prices aren't really worth it. Can I crash on someone's floor/share a cheap room?

Don't worry, I'm not so useless a boyfriend that I won't arrange something with her for a different weekend instead. She'll still come through to compete I think.

Yes, hotel prices are way more expensive than two years ago. That's why I don't want to pay 2 or 3 times instead of one.
 
I live in uni accommodation about a 25 minute walk away from the venue. I'm sure someone could crash on my floor if it comes to it, it's a very small room though and I don't have extra mattresses etc.

EDIT: Also, would anyone be willing to sell me a 3x3 for the comp when we're there? I only have a stickerless and a Rubik's brand with me.

Flights + 3 nights in a hotel is gona cost about £400 for me. That's almost half what it would cost to go to worlds. Eeek.

Hi Guys,
I am new to this group, so Sorry for replying in this thread, as i couldnt find any way to post.
Would someone be able to provide me any video link tutorial for solving 4*4 cube blindfolded.

Thanks in Advance and belated happy new year to you all!

Best Regards,

Still no news of my Travelodge booking andI apparently I have not been charged for it, I guess it simply didn't work.
So I decided to play safe and booked the same nice little hotel as two years ago, only twice more expensive than two years ago :(
