AO Fan Gathering! Oslo, Norway - Sept. 11th!

[AGPEcko]

Just checked airline tickets and what not.
1163$ USD for me to get out there and home.

Would if I could, but I can't so I wont.

[Mireiawen]

Wish I wasn't stuck in China for now, or I'd be there... Hope there's party there next year tho!

[Noty]

Nice, i might come to the party )

[Mastablasta]

Actually its only 26 NKR each way (since its in the oslo city area.
You can get a 24h ticket for 70nkr which lets you travel all around for a whole day, as many trips as you like.
Besides if you take "danske båten" it will arrive relativly close to Oslo central (train) station which you can get tickets for a buss/train/subway/tram to Skøyen. FC's office is close by.

If anyone needs directions/ help geting there that day, feel free to contact me and i'll see if i cant help you.

From Rygge airport it's 123nok with the train each direction

Not going to try to ruin everything for people, but you guys who are getting here by plane...these additional costs may apply:
Oslo Airport Gardermoen - Oslo Central Station = 170NOK (with the airport express train. I guess the regular train is somewhat cheaper...but probably not by a whole lot).
Oslo Central Station - Oslo Airport Gardermoen = 170NOK
1 night in a cheap hotel = 800NOK
1 beer in a bar = 50NOK (some places are cheaper, some more expensive. 1 beer being mostly 0.4 litre. Drinks costs roughly 70-90NOK)
1 pack of 20 cigarettes (that is, if you smoke) = 80NOK

All in all roughly 1500 NOK, which is about 190€, depending on how many beers you drink (7 in this estimate)

[NoGoal]

154 euro from Amsterdam to Oslo (retour ticket).
149 euro from Brussel/Bremen/Dusseldorf to Oslo (retour as wel).

I'll have to see if that's worth it since I'd rather stay under the 100 euro mark.

Did you check Ryanair?
It's roughly 16 € before taxes. Be it from Charleroi Airport (Belgium), Bremen or Düsseldorf. Charleroi has flights every day unlike the 2 other options.

guess it'll be a friendly environment for ''guys, you finished the game''

I'm going by Ryanair, 15 euro for the ticket + 10 euro for administration. Bus to airport here is 180dkr for a return ticket, plane to Rygge airport south of Oslo, train and bus from the airport to Oslo S running all the time is 110 or 123 NOK, depending on which you choose. I figure I'll pay the additional 13 or so for the train to reduce travel time to 40 minutes The real problems don't start untill you actually get to Oslo and have to find your way home my typical way of doing that usualy involves taking a taxi All in all the travel to and from Oslo via Rygge with Ryanair is cheaper than a single flight to Oslo main airport. I have this hope that there's a tollfree shop in the tiny airport :| since ridiculous restrictions on what I can bring on the plane would prevent me from taking cheap booze from Denmark

[Ellarisa]

The real problems don't start until you actually get to Oslo

Best would be to rent a car and share it with a few people I guess. Same for the hotel if you don't mind sleeping in the same room as someone you don't know :P

Would have to be at least 4 people for car rental to be useful though. But I have accomodation and such taken care of.

[erozc]

250€ (for me and my bf) from Helsinki to Oslo and back by plane (plus, my bf reminded me, i dont have a passport, neither does he)

You most definitely don't need a passport when going to Sweden or Norway from Finland. Valid photo ID is sufficient. Besides, passports cost what, 50-60e.
