question:

The last few days i've been planning and checking prices. And there was an increase in price per night per room at the hotels from the fanfest link. Any clue why ?

The prices will likely continue to increase as the event gets closer and the hotels have less rooms available. The cheaper rooms go first, and only the more expensive rooms are left for those who book later.

Nice package deals from Icelandair...

Whole trip booked through Orbitz:
Leave MSP 20th
Return MSP 28th
6 nights at Center Hotel Arnarhvoll
$1,710.00

Booked through Icelandair package + Orbitz (from MSP to JFK and then from JFK to MSP):
Leave MSP 20th
Return MSP 28th
6 nights at Center Hotel Arnarhvoll
$1,294.00

Save $416 with Icelandair+Orbitz package. Can get even cheaper by staying at Center Hotel Klopp (saves $504 total) or Center Hotel Plaza (saves $466 total).


Already figuring out my income tax refund situation and it looks good for me being able to swing the trip ... especially with the package deals. Yeah baby!

Still looking to go myself. Finances look good, but will have to wait a couple of weeks to get my income tax refund before I can make the reservations. That'll also give my boss time to talk to the assistant store manager so he can talk to the store manager about getting me the 19th-29th off. Time off requests have to be approved at all levels, ya know. Gotta have the extra days before to get ready, pack and do the Golden Circle tour, and the extra days after to do the Blue Lagoon party and (partially) recover from jet lag...

Fanfest Early Bird ticket €75.00 Booked
Pub Crawl ticket €35.00 Booked
Blue Lagoon Hangover ticket €58.00 Booked

Queston, icelandair says about "Select package options"
1) does the ticket I got from CCP for Blue Lagoon cover travel or is that ticket just to get into the water?
2) If I need the icelandair package option for getting to Blue Lagoon what times should I be picking?
3) The icelandair package says, "Including transfers and bathing fee. Take any Reykjavik Excursion bus back to Reykjavik or Keflavik Airport. " So that Blue Lagoon Ticket I paid CCP for, is that €58.00 just to be in the same water as a Dev?

A1: According to the Fanfest site, it includes getting in the water (what Icelandair calls the "bathing fee"), the live DJ's performance and one of their Blue Lagoon cocktails in addition to bus fare to and from. This includes the option to go from the Blue Lagoon to the airport if you wish to do so.

A2: You don't.

A3: See answer A1.

Can spouse tickets be combined with Blue Lagoon tickets or do Blue Lagoon visits also require fanfest passes?

The SoE ticket gets your spouse access to the Party at the Top of the World, so I would imagine it would qualify them to be able to go to the Blue Lagoon as well, as long as you buy them the BL ticket.

One more question.

I want to get my gf a ticket to EVE fanfest and a ticket to the pub crawl so she can come with but I'm not sure if it'll overlap with the SoE thing? Can anyone confirm because I wouldn't want her to miss out on either really.

I imagine that the Pub Crawl would start more towards 8pm or later, which would be more than enough time for her to get back from the SoE event. Confirmation from someone who has been on a Fanfest pub crawl would be nice though...

Last year the pub crawl started at around 9pm, and I doubt it will start any earlier this year. This leaves plenty of time for your girlfriend to return from the SoE tour.
