THE COST
So this is the 64 Million Dollar question, how much is going to the next WGT going to cost me? Well for one thing its not going to cost
you 64 million dollars. The cost will obviously be dependant on your home location and how far you are going to travel before you get to
Germany and Leipzig.

I ran a poll on the WGT Leipzig UK Group forum
The question was '
How much did WGT 2006 cost you... Total Cost of Flights, Hotels, Food, Car Parks, Train Tickets, Festival Tickets,
CDs, T-Shirts etc
'. The poll has produced the results below so far.

COST FACTORS
So what will you need to factor into your total costs assumptions. Well obviously once again it will depend on your home location,
however here is a small list for of things you may need to factor in.

  • Your Flight
  • Car Park at the airport
  • Your Train Fare, return to Leipzig from Berlin
  • Hotel, 5 nights minimum
  • WGT Ticket (€65 in 2006)
  • Food and Drink
  • Shopping

If you live in the UK then you are looking at cost of about £700-£800 with a 3 star hotel, and not going too mad with drink and shopping.
If you live in the states then I would imagine that the cost is going to be $2500+ depending on where you live in the US and if you are
going to combine WGT with any other site seeing in Europe.

What would be the cost to do WGT on a budget?
Well if you camp, and keep shopping to a minimum then I would imagine that you could keep your costs to about £300 (if you travel
from the UK and plan well). I guess that budget and living outside of Europe do not go hand in hand, still I would be keen to know what
you could do WGT from if you live in the USA, Australia, South Africa or anywhere else.

Plan well, book early and start saving...see you in Leipzig
