Yep, it complicated thing a lot (not just for us, but nearly all shops in Czech - I just hate bureaucracy). We put a lot of effort in that, so bank transfer and PayPal payments should be available for tickets payment

Zitat:Anyway, I'm sure I can find another excuse to come visit you in Prague again. Just have to find a free weekend.  

Definitely I'm thinking about May, because on Wednesday I'm leaving for BABScon to LA (then travelling stuff) with my special somepony and guys from this board (return at the end of April).

Glad to hear that   we have good experience with the venue and also the pub below is now closed. We'll add "How to get there" section on pages in next weeks.

I WANT TO BUY

Just posted the info here - I'm really sorry for the delay.

Zitat:Some friends from Dresden, Frankfurt and NRW will come too, to the Con.

My first time Czechia!

I´m nervousited

Great   you are always welcome here! From what I heard, bronies attending last Czequestria enjoyed their time here, not just because of the con - beside the city, was quite popular too.

So can I buy one directly from you on Sunday, or do I have to wait until we return?

[Jamis]

Well... that would mean I'm a Travelling salesman so here's a deal: you find a time efficient solution to my problem (I travel A LOT) and highest tier ticket is yours   also is probably the Abel prize and stuff...

Spoiler (Öffnen)

If you have no idea what does this post mean, just ignore it - mathematics is kind of a passion to me.

If I find a way to plan your travelling in a time, lets say, P, I probably don't have to care for ticket costs any more in my life. ^^

See you in NP time!

Beware - the top tier tickets, called "Royal Route", are strictly limited!

During easter I totally forgot about the ticket sale and just remembered it today. Seems like I missed the Royal Route tickets, even though it still seems possible to order these while out of stock.

I should probably try ordering anyway and see what the system tells me. Maybe somebody decides to not pay his top tier ticket and I get mine after all.
[edit] Can't check out with an item in my shopping cart that is out of stock. It was still worth trying.

Ordered my ticket, yay

Waitint till august

Hab nicht so viel Kohle, aber die Eintrittspreise sind ja echt nicht schlecht. Nur etwa ein Zehntel von dem was die Galacon so verlangt O_o

Jetzt bräucht ich nur noch ein günstiges Hotel und ne günstige Fahrgemeinschaft oder sowas...

Yes, Royal Route is out of stock now, but there are those who did not pay for them yet and the limit is really close...

Great there will be plenty of announcements to shorten that wait.

Not sure how it is now, but according to global MLP con compare, the last Czequestria has the cheapest standard tickets from all the MLP cons (for many reasons). Just don't forget that Czequestria and Galacon are cons of totally different size, at different places with a bit different philosophy (like less official guests, more community ones etc.)

About the accommodation - we are preparing the list of suitable nearby hostels/hostels. For small groups, I highly recommend AirBnB which recently became quite popular here.

Two unpaid Royal Route tickets has just been released for sale at https://www.czequestria.cz/tickets/ - if you are fast, they are yours  

[Crash Override]

The tickets are very cheap... ca. 14€ the standard, ca. 35€ the "Fancy Portal" - and the royal Route costs only ca. 85€ - that's a bit more than the Standard-Ticket from the GalaCon.

Very Intresting... hotels - what i've searched - are the nearest in Troja (please don't hurt me, if i write something wrong) - and for 2 Days, they're a little bit cheaper as the Hotels from the GalaCon.

Only the Train tickets are something, what i don't know - "deutsche Bahn" doesn't sell so early the Tickets, for there i have to wait.

They are gone already. Now I'm kinda disappointed I didn't see this earlier.
Anyway, my hopes are still up to get one of these. And if it fails after all I will just bribe/throw money at you until I get one of these limited Czequestria coins and a fake Royal Route ticket. (Libussa looks fancy there.) xD

Countries difference the cheap tickets means that more people from CZ/SK whose cannot afford to spend more money can attend.

Yup, hotels are quite on high demand. Surprisingly.

Depends on the way - I travel to Germany quite often, but I can only say that lowest price for Prague - Frankfurt an Main route is about 60€ for return ticket. The route is usually by train closer to borders and then by bus to Prague ('cause Czech Railways sucks) - as far as I know, there are regular bus lines between Prague and Nürnberg, Leipzig and Dresden (there are more, but these are quite close to borders).

well, there is still a chance that someone is going to drop the ticket. We'll see.

Reminds me... is there any interest in a little "Czequestria's Visit to Praha Guide"? Not much and not about sightseeing at all (for this, you'll find pretty of information and offers in Praha), but on some common questions as: how to best get local money (Czech Crowns / Tschechische Kronen / Korun Českých; ČR is a member of the European Union, but still doesn't use the Euro currency!), how to use the local public transport ("Do's / Dont's")... would write some lines about that if it's of any interest.

After all, I'm sort of a regular visitor to Praha since 2003 with my first visit there back in 1995

[Jamis]

@Railway Dash: why not - sounds good we have a small guide, but of course made by local folks, so some aspects important for visitors might get overlooked... like, public transport description definitely yes, but I did not think about money exchange here (which is at some places trap for turists, because the exchange rate is not always the best).

Any other topics that we should cover in the Czequestria visitor guide?

[Yavos (†)]

People from outside might not know about food stuff. (Restaurants nearby.)
Also at least in Germany shops are closed on sundays which is not the case in Prague. (I love that!)

Regarding public transport: I still remember our first Czequestria, when we wanted to use it to get over to the LARP location. At the stop we couldn't find any way to buy a ticket. In the train we couldn't find any either. So we kinda had to travel illigeally on board to the next bigger station where we could buy us some 24 hour tickets. (They are worth it. Shops at bigger stations usally take € as well, but it's more expensive this way.)

Fährt wer mit dem Zug über Nürnberg? (weil dann könnten wir zusammen fahren)

'lil advice for EVERYPONY outside Czech: Do NOT exchange money in Praha. You should rather exchange it on your route or get it exchanged by some good people in some bank or something like that. Trust me and you won't regret it

Good to know. Thanks for the information.

[Railway Dash]

I'll write some lines about my experiences and recommendations for money exchange and using the public transport tomorrow, then.

Gute Idee

EDIT: Preis der tschechische Krone in Praha ist €=23-4 Kč. Aber normale Preis ist 26,7! (jeztz am 6/5/17) Also das ist warum soll man sich beachten.
