TRiP Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Really not sure where I should be posting this - it falls under many a sub-forum, yet at the core is just asking about accommodations.... anywho- Myself and hopefully a few other fellow Irish are heading over to Bloc festival in July http://www.blocweekend.com/lineup/ However, I some what jumped the gun and booked a ticket without sorting accommodation - the website has loads of suggested hotels listed, but only 1 hostel Can anyone recommend any cheap cheap accommodation around the Bloc festival area? The hostel suggested seems to be asking for 52 yo yos for 2 nights. Is this probably the best i'll do, or is there hope yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spratters Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I'll be going. I've got a Travelodge booked about 1/2 miles away from the event. It's costing £30 pppn. I couldn't get much cheaper and closer than that. We've only booked for one night at the moment. Will probably got straight home after the second night.

spratters Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 You can pay a bit extra for an extension into Saturday afternoon. My plan is to wear clothes on Friday that I'll chuck when I leave the hotal on Saturday. Then just wear the rest until I get home. I don't really wanna pay for two nights.

TRiP Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 innnteresting - I shall look into that also - would you have any suggestions as to how to get to the place from a starting point of Victoria Coach Station, London? They say the best way is to get the DLR train to Pontoon Dock - can I hop on any tube nearby Victoria Coach Station and expect it to direct me in the way of the DLR system? Or is there any other way to get there that you might recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spratters Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 You could get on the Circle Line at Victoria and got to Tower Hill. Then jump out, go round the corner and jump on the DLR at Tower Gateway and go straight there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruising for burgers Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 By now everyone will have heard that Bloc 2012 was closed due to crowd safety concerns. We are all absolutely devastated that this happened, but the safety of everyone on site was paramount. Given the situation on the ground, we feel that it was the right decision to end the show early. Bloc will not open on Saturday 7th July so please don’t come to the site. Stand by for full information on refunds. wtf, kobeboka just traveled to the uk to watch this on purpose, such bad luck. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
