The hotel bookings are good til the first day of the show, but I will say the Monday of the week of the show so my card doesnt get mugged
and as for tickets, as they have to be sent to me and then out to you, I need to know by the middle of July.
As long as I get 10 tickets sold, I can then have as many as I want at the discounted price; so as soon as I have 10 tickets ordered I will be able to order them and they will be ready to go even if, as Fajita (iirc) found out, you turn up on the door and can contact me (on the days I'm there of course)
I wont be going the entire stretch this time tho', last year really was a bit special, but certainly for 2 days.
