Great opportunities to cut your Drupalcon Szeged costs

We just closed the "earliest bird" (80 EUR) pricing for Drupalcon Szeged tickets a few hours ago. Yesterday, we had more than a hundred new registrations, and lots of the bank transfers for those using wire transfer will only arrive in a few days, so we got a considerable backlog of transactions to process, so be patient with us please.

So the conference became 40 EUR more expensive, but don't worry if you missed the deadline with our cost cutting features that shouldn't matter all that much to you! There are plenty of ways that you can save more than 40 EUR:

Have a look at the top of our attendees page, we have several options to help you reduce costs. Our travel sharing pages are flying high with lots of people offering or looking to share cars, vans or just looking for mates to travel with on sleeping trains. If you come from Europe, this is a great option to travel cheap. If you come from outside of Europe it might also be a good idea to arrive in a major travel hub, and then share travel from there (or pick a European budget airline, see our travel page).

Once you are here, you will still need a place to sleep at. Well, our room sharing page caught up quite a bit recently. There is almost a dozen people who are looking to share their rooms, to cut on their costs and cut on yours; as well as have fun with community mates. You can also team up with people before booking a room and just share your room with them without advertising that publicly. We have nice automated means to do that.

It might happen that cost cutting is not enough to square your finances. In that case just fill in your bio with information on why are you looking for financial help to get here, and you will be featured on the page of people looking for financing. Feel free to cite your community contributions and link in your fundraising page if you have one (using the ChipIn service for example). That should help a lot for others in the community to contribute (smaller) amounts to your trip.

All in all there is a lot of scope for saving this Drupalcon if you follow up on all these features you should be able to save a lot more than 40 EUR.
