I am pretty keen to go and am just working out whether I can afford it or not, I have a China trip in September
EDIT: to further add, id probably fly in friday and leave late sunday night or monday morning. I work fulltime so as little time off as possible the better.

Want to point out that the venue is right next to the station, and 1 station away is Central (the main hub in Sydney) so if you cannot find a place near Redfern, look at Central. I know there are a TON of backpackers in the city and there are trains to Redfern every couple of minutes.
How would people feel about renting a house for the weekend? I have found a few good places really close. Depending on the amount of people it could be as cheap as 40 bux a night.
I think the bottom line here is the cost of accommodation is going to be exceptionally cheap compared to individual accommodation.. not to mention sharing an experience with other people outside of the specific event is also pretty baller.
In regards to a house having done them in the past as long as you pick an appropriate place it can be pretty sick but they can be costly if not enough people jump on board.
Basically I just want somewhere close to sleep, we will be at the event basically all day so no real need for luxurious accessories I feel.
Completely agree Baldie! I am looking at a house in paddington atm. It says it will accom 14 ppl and depending on the amount it will be about 40-50$ per person. I think this could be a good choice. But i would need guaranteed numbers and a bit of trust....as there would be a security deposit.
Gods above, I would love to get in on this. Might be flying up from Melb solo, and would be glad to chip in with fellow sc2seaers. Trouble is I'm still 50/50 on going at this point arghhhhh, will try to keep following thread.
Well just having a better look around there are a few backpacker/dorm type places around Surry Hills. The Bounce for example does a 8 bed dorm for like 40$ per person per night. A little simpler than the house but also a bit closer. Also it seems that the amount of people who want in is increasing pretty fast so 8 beds may not be enough unless we get multiple rooms.
The 40-50 is per night for the house. So for 10 people for 2 nights it is $870 all up.
Of the 100% of people who express interest in this and/or say they will go in approx 70% - 80% will actually follow through (unless there is a deposit required which locks people in).
Does seem the interest is increasing but shouldn't get too ahead of ourselves in regards to numbers.
Either way love you work all who are looking into places!
