Final vote for the location of the CIS-2017 tournament.

But the question is different: who will actually come, and what if the price increases by at least 20-30% per person? It would be unpleasant for both the organizers and the participants.

But the decision has been made by the COMMUNITY.

The decision has been made. The main problem with the Volgograd application is not the price of the venue's services (it's actually in the same range as Korolev's... more expensive than in Yekaterinburg - that's a fact, but this was mentioned in the first vote when Merlin wasn't "pushing" for Volgograd). But the transportation costs are indeed high for residents of the Sverdlovsk region and Siberia. Residents of the Sverdlovsk region, by the way, have a direct Bla-Bla-Car option for three thousand. Residents of Siberia do not.
Now there is specific information, and AlexXL, I hope, will do everything to further reduce this price and provide the most favorable conditions for the participants.
The venue is ready to negotiate: the owners indicated this by offering a 25% discount on all additional services.
