Fingers crossed you're online when we find out so that you can do a quick buy then! 

 

That... might be hard. Shall I give one of you my phone number, so that you can call me when they go out and if I am working, I'll just... run away? 

[EisElle]

I've already the whole thing mapped, which tickets in which section... I only need to materially be online to go for those tickets I'm worried they'll announce when I'm sleeping...because it would also mean Japan is fully awake  and I'd wake up to this

Well from the last two pages it seems that you all think that Yuzu will be at NHK and IdF - I am still holding out hope for SCI but if not I hope we get Shoma or Boyang. And Evgenia! My 5 year old is interested in seeing Yuzu and Sailor Moon girl. HA HA

All Euros are in the same boat with work, so we'd need someone in Japan or there about to give you a poke 

 

@LucyH It would not surprise me at all if we end up seeing one of those at SC. Zhenya not being seeded sure mixes things up and Boyang's in the same boat. I actually do expect at least some TCC folks there. 

Your 5 year old has good taste

But that's how it should be, you start on them young when they're more malleable

Great question. If he ends up going to CoC Milano instead of IdF I will drown myself because I have tickets for IdF and Milano is much closer to me than Grenoble!

I’ll cry too bc i have tickets for IDF and getting to Grenoble is so difficult from London, whereas Milan is nice & easy :(

It probably doesn't get much easier than from London, actually.

Eurostar to Paris,

(maybe switch train stations by direct metro if the Eurostar arrives at Gare du Nord instead of Gare de Lyon) 

TGV to Grenoble. 

 

Not saying it's the fastest option, mind, but it's definitely not complicated.

Unless French public transportation are on strike, which they've been doing an awful lot these past few months. *cringe* Then it gets very complicated.

And a direct flight is always easier, of course, *grin* but then most flights probably go to Lyon, not Grenoble.

im probably gonna fly London - Lyon and then get a train from Lyon - Grenoble, doesn’t seem to be too expensive.. I’ve never travelled before on my own and I think Paris would scare me 😂 but I’ll look into it, I never actually thought about the eurostar  tbh

[ralucutzagy]

Can't wait!!

Though, with it not being Paris, then maybe it won't be so bad

Maybe that's the case. To get to a big city there's always more options, Grenoble (Lyon) not so much and most likely not direct flight.

Trains London to Paris arrive at Gare du Nord. I will be in Paris that weekend and I won't be able to go to Grenoble. Happy for you if you can.

I still haven’t found a reasonable option to travel there for me  

It’s either way too expensive (could as well fly to Japan) or traveling for 24h+ which is ridiculous

Have you tried rome2rio.com? They can suggest various options. 

You can also try flying to a smaller airport. Or just bookmark your favorite flight and wait for prices to go down. Airline prices work in mysterious ways...

For what is worth, Grenoble is a quite nice city, surrounded by gorgeous mountains... so, if by any chance you want to stay longer, it might be worth it ?

 

Another possibility is to go to Lyon, and then rent a car (or take a bus, it's longer but very cheap) - it's only 1h30 to go from there to Grenoble, and it has much (much !) better transit links.
