Yeah and CCC is in one of the most expensive seasons (between Christmas and New year) in the most expensive country in Europe.
I've considered going there once or twice but the hotels were ridiculously expensive. It was around €200-250 a night, for me that's way too much. And the travel on top of that (i don't drive and live in southern Europe so I make less than most Germans). And I'm too old for shared room hostels. Here in Spain I can get a 4* hotel for 70€ most of the time.
It's a bit similar to DefCon in that sense. Except that it's held in real cities and not a casino resort.
- ghostpepper 1y ago> €200-250 a night this is still cheap compared to Vegas. even in the middle of august, when the temperature routinely tops 40C, hotels are upwards of $300-400USD/night
- saagarjha 1y agoThat’s only if you’re at the luxury hotels, with upgraded rooms.
- ghostpepper 1y agoIs Flamingo a luxury hotel?
- saagarjha 1y agoNo, it's like $100 a night

From where did you get the idea that Germany is the most expensive country in Europe? My experience differs. > It was around €200-250 a night Get a hotel that is a little away and use public transport to get to the event venue. Using this, rather 100-150 € per night is realistic (if you find a good offer, even below 100 € is very possible).
- rsynnott 1y ago> in the most expensive country in Europe. Germany is _far_ from the most expensive country in Europe, FWIW. > It was around €200-250 a night That seems very high; you'd do better booking in advance. And the transport is decent and runs late; you don't need to be right near the venue.
