bad news.....seems we may have left it a little late. I called wakeup late last week and we were good to go....but it seems now they dont have room. I have also called a few other backpackers around the place and we will definately have trouble finding the same kinda thing.
I havent given up hope yet and I will keep trying to get something organised! I will pretty much book as soon as I find somewhere and update you with how I go.
So I have just gotten in contact with a place called Central Perk (http://www.cpbackpackers.com.au/) that is up the road a bit from WakeUp and it seems like they have room. He is going to try and organise it so that rooms can all be as close to eachother as possible.
He should be emailing me today and I will update once I get the quote/details etc.
Edit: well damn! I just read their terms and conditions......must be 18.....ok ill keep looking.

It's exactly 2 weeks away and I'm getting a bit anxious. I want to lock in some accommodation before it gets to a point where there are no share rooms left.
I rang and emailed Alfred Park again and they had approx. 7 x 4person rooms:
"As I mentioned on the phone, we unfortunately don't have any ensuite rooms available on those dates. We do however have a handful of 4 Bed Basic Dorms on offer.
The rate for a 4 Bed Basic Dorm is $27.00 per person per night.
All our dorm beds are bunk beds. Each room has it's own mini fridge, TV and air-conditioning. Bathrooms will be communal bathrooms.
We will only charge your credit card with the rate of the first night, the balance you will pay on arrival"
Closest accommodation to the venue (10-15 minute walk)
Dirt cheap: $27 x 3 = $81 if you're staying 3 nights
Mostly positive reviews but you get what you pay for
Communal bathroom (shared, but still has privacy AFAIK)
Central station (train/bus) is 10 minutes walk away
WiFi - get a a good amount for free then it's $3 for more.
Unfortunately the location isn't right in the city if thats a problem for anyone
Does this interest anyone?

We can book it so that we are in 2 - 10 Bed Dorms and 1 - 4 bed dorm at Central Perk on the same floor on the 10/11/12. However they have put a bit of a caveat on the way we want to book. We can have the 3 rooms on the same floor for the 3 nights at the same price every night. Meaning we would have to pay the price for the 3 rooms on Friday night even though there is only 15 people in those rooms.
Each night would be $550. I'm not sure how you guys would like to handle it but we can either total the 3 nights and divide by 24 (the total amount of people). Or we can divide the $550 per night for the amount of people.
Total if fully divided is $68.75 per person. I can completely understand how this would be unfair though. (note: I am happy to do this even though I'm not staying on Friday night.)
Otherwise
Friday: $36.6 per person
Saturday: $22.91 per person
Sunday: $26.19 per person
Total for a person staying all 3 nights: $85.7
Only staying Friday and Saturday: $59.51
Only staying Saturday and Sunday: $49.1
As stated above I am quite happy to go either way if the people on friday are happy to pay a little extra.
Please let me know ASAP!!! which way most people would prefer to go as I would like to book this in today!
Otherwise
Friday: $36.6 per person
Saturday: $22.91 per person
Sunday: $26.19 per person
I think that's fairest (and not just saying that cos we're only staying Saturday, lol). I'll chuck in a bit extra for a lolly stash or something to share
Gogogo book!!
Edit: The difference for us would be $137.50 vs $45.82. Seeing as we'll be buying food as well all weekend, it becomes unaffordable (for us) if done the first way.
Words cannot describe how much I would be up for drinks after WCS.. chuck in a set amount each (who will be partaking) and get whatever from bottle shop and start a night from there at the rooms
I'm fine for per night cost.. you other guys just owe us a drink for holding fort Friday while you took your sweet ass time flying in on Saturday
baldie got the right idea
and im fine with per night cost
