hey Silver, I take it you can't buy tickets and accom seperate for the prices you quoted before? The $882 for ibis isnt as nice as the oakford for 871.

Either way we'll go with the crowd I guess.

OK, you said you spoke to "GP Travel" and they could do packages at ibis for $882 tripple share.

I thought you may be able to get better deal for accomodation not going thru the offical GP supplier, they often need to charge a higher price to pay for some fee to the organiser.

So, the question was, is it an option to buy the GP tickets sperately, accom directly with the hotel to get a better price

Or did you mean they are all booked out already?

I haven't explored the alternative of booking tickets and hotel seperately. I'll look into in tonight.

I don't think they've been booked out already. There were only 3 options available for hiring an appartment, Ibis ($882), Rydges Riverwalk ($971) and Saville on Russell ($1033).

The saville is pretty sweet, but I think Dunc may be right, we may be able to get it cheaper just by buying tickets, the accom.

Last year I stayed at the Victoria hotel, it is not too flash, but it is bloody close to the track (you can hear the cars from there).

Was around $200-$250 a night (can't remember exactly) with three of us in a room (ie. ~$80 each)

I would like to head back on the Monday.

For the 2002 GP, I booked the week before, got a hotel about 1.5 ks away, got granstand seats (cheap ones though), and airfair on Virgin for like $90.

We won't miss out. :D

bahaha, you mean, "Who is in the middle of spinning the r33" bahaha.

Unfortunately its looking less and less likely I'll have the cash to do this, Silver, are we still going ahead and if so do you have a firm indication of the costs?
