I understand why outsiders didn't write anything about these fucking prices, but Merlin, where are you looking? Open your eyes and calculate the event's yield... with food prices and the conference hall bringing the total to 20+k a day.
The total price for accommodation is 9750, which is not higher than Volgograd. As for the conference hall, there is room to negotiate (it was 17500 in Volgograd). And these are preliminary prices; I even highlighted this for those who are particularly blind.
Lunch and dinner can be sought independently; there is a restaurant at the venue and plenty of cafes nearby.
If there aren't many people, I will find a small base for 20-30 people much more easily and cheaply, and I'll simply be glad for whoever wants to come. Or even own Aive's dacha, which is always waiting for us.
