Dear all,

I have been highly remiss in organising my trip to Legoworld due to how busy I
am at work at the moment.  I have worked out that I can get a flight from Luton
and a train from Amsterdam on Saturday morning and then a train and plane back
Sunday night - but I still have three questions I would appreciate some help
with:

1.  Where can I stay for pretty well the smallest amount of money possible?

2.  I can't work out from the NS site if there is any difference between advance
and walk-on fares (maybe this is just a British thing?) and whether the return
is open, (i.e can be used at any time rather than just that day) It quotes 26e70
for a return journey.  Can I leave buying this ticket until I arrive?

3.  I can't work out how to register - partly because it seems that there is no
option to book for two days without going through the whole thing twice (the
whole event ticket costs slightly more than two day tickets)

Can anyone help me with any of these?

2+3 : Tickets are easiest to get at the counter at Schiphol, or one of the
vending machines. If they still exist, the best thing for you to get is a
"weekend retour" which allows you to go to Zwolle on saturday and back on
sunday. If it's (no longer) available, two one-way tickets is the cheapest and
easiest solution AFAIK. Normal returns are only valid on the same day!

As for 1 : on the German 1000Steine forum somebody posted a list with hotels :

Mercure Hotel Postiljon Zwolle
Hertsenbergweg 1
8041 BA Zwolle
+31-38-4216031

Campanile Zwolle Hotel & Restaurant
Schuttevaerkade 40
8021 DB Zwolle
+31-38-4550444

Bilderberghotel Grand Hotel Wientjes
Stationsweg 7
8021 DB Zwolle
+31-38-4254254

City Hotel
Rodetorenplein 10-11
8011 Zwolle
+31-38-4218182

No clue about pricing... Hotel Wientjes is nice but above-average in terms of
rates.

Do you already have tickets for the event? If not you might want to contact Paul
Wolters (paulwolter@home.nl) or Paul Koelewijn (paullego@wanadoo.nl)
Don't forget it, there might not be tickets for sale at the door.

(...) We stayed here in 2001. Cheapest hotel, but the room is not much.... Like, we wished we had payed more for a room :-) We had to take 6 stairs to get to our room, packed with loads of Lego. We won't go back over there. Oh, and we had to pay in (...) (21 years ago, 9-Oct-03, to lugnet.events.legoworld)
