2 nights in London for London 1 at £16 a night so that I can go to the IORR Band gig too.
Do you mind telling me where you get to stay in London for £16 per night, is it far from the venue because that is amazingly cheap.

I haven’t totalled it up but I’m Lucky Dipping 9 Shows (whole U.K. + Prague, plus GA for Dublin and Gold Standing in Warsaw. Total spent on tickets about £500 so approx £45 a show.
It all kicks off with a Return air fare from Bristol to Dublin at £28 and I have 3 nights in a hostel there at about £20 a night.
I will be day tripping London 2, Southampton, Cardiff & Twickenham with very cheap booked far in advance transport to all but Southampton which I’ll have to drive to.
2 nights in London for London 1 at £16 a night so that I can go to the IORR Band gig too.
I’ve got a week off work for Coventry, Manchester and Edinburgh. My sister lives in Nottingham amd I will stay with her for 3 nights and she’s coming to Coventry with me as my LD guest driving me there.
I have 3 nights in Manchester at £23 a night where I’ll meet my cousin who’s travelling down from Scotland to meet me and join me at the show as my LD guest. We then both go to his home near Glasgow and he will join me at Edinburgh as my LD guest for that show too, driving me there.
I’m on the 8am coach South from Hamilton to Oxford the morning after the show - £27 on split ticketing and discount codes. All my other transfers around that trip are booked far in advance super cheapies. Swindon to Nottingham for £10 - Part Train part coach, Nottingham to Manchester for £7.40 Train and Manchester to
Glasgow by direct non stop coach for £7.50.
I’m doing Prague and Warsaw as a double header. £33 flight from Stansted to Prague. An AirBnB for 5 nights in Central Prague at £32 a night with my Northern Irish friend who’s also going to be my LD partner as he was at Paris 1 & 2 last year. At 8am the Morning after the show, I get a coach to Warsaw for £10. I have an AirBnB in Warsaw for £26 a night for 4 nights then a night with friends near Modlin after the show and a £16 flight from Modlin to Birmingham and home on Trains and buses afterwards. I know a few people around the Warsaw area and they’ll be coming to the show too, the same people I went to the excellent Chorzow show with in 1998.
I’m not a big drinker or expensive eater so these costs won’t be much.
I reckon my whole Tour of 11 Shows will cost £1500 to £2000 but I’m unconcerned by that. I love planning and organising travel and sniffing out all these bargains. The big hit isn’t financial. Between 17 May and 10 July, I’ll be taking 19 days out of my leave allowance which will leave me very short for the rest of the year!
Looking forward to it and meeting as many IORRians as I can. I’ve met loads already!
