The cost of tickets from Moscow to Novokuznetsk is significantly higher than the cost of tickets from Moscow to Novosibirsk. Therefore, we are ready to share the fuel costs with Noom if someone travels by car from Novosibirsk/Kemerovo to the competition venue...

I have a feeling that many people are planning to travel to Novosibirsk and then continue by car. I'm afraid we might not have enough cars. We need to find out the exact number of people who want to go, and it might be easier to rent a minibus and travel together.

Go ahead and figure it out. Because flying to Novokuznetsk instead of Novosibirsk from Moscow adds 4-5 thousand rubles per person (round trip). Who needs that kind of "happiness"?

You figure it out. Because flying to Novokuznetsk instead of Novosibirsk from Moscow adds 4-5k rubles per person (round trip). Why would anyone want that?

We will organize the transfer in any case! We just need to know how many people there are.

Oops, sorry, I seem to have messed up with the prices – there’s a 2k difference between Novokuznetsk and Novosibirsk (9 --> 7). I guess I was looking for tickets for two people and didn’t notice it somehow. So, the question of which city to fly to remains open – maybe it doesn’t make sense to bother with Novosibirsk for 2k and spend an extra 3-4 hours traveling by bus.
P.S. Dirty, if it’s not too much trouble, could you estimate the prices and travel time for transfers from Novosibirsk airport and from Novokuznetsk? Then we can compare. I think it makes sense to plan for approximately 10 people.

From Novokuznetsk to the base, the transfer will be free, so if the price is 2,000 per unit, it is definitely more advantageous to fly here directly.

Where did you find these tickets? Come on, share! Because what I saw was: problems with direct flights + a price difference from 9 to 15.

Some nonsense, today I'm looking for tickets – again, the prices are ridiculously high. I was searching in a random meta-search engine that was at the top of Yandex's search results. I had the same problem when I was buying tickets to Sochi – in the space of a day, while I was still thinking about it, the prices dropped by 20-30%. P.S. In short, since I don't understand what's going on, I suggest we all meet in Novosibirsk, buy some booze, and travel together to the base on a chartered bus, singing and dancing along the way. Flying to Novokuznetsk, even without exorbitant prices, seems like a risky idea, and with them, it's even worse. Added 2 hours 18 minutes ago Moscow, Russia → Novosibirsk, Russia, departure January 3, Saturday 23:35 ---> 06:45 Arrival January 4 Novosibirsk, Russia → Moscow, Russia, departure January 10, Saturday 19:15 -----> 20:50 11+ thousand rubles. In short, it looks like we need to take something like this. According to the websites, the price of tickets suddenly increases from January 4th. And flying back from Novosibirsk on the 9th seems difficult – we might get stuck on the way and miss our flight. In general, flying back from Novosibirsk on the 12th, Monday morning, seems like an attractive option – the prices are very low there (at least, according to what I'm seeing, it's around 8,000 rubles round trip).

If everyone arrives in Novosibirsk, some difficulties may arise. If everyone arrives on the same plane or at the same time, that would be manageable. However, since people will be arriving at different times, we'll need to gather everyone, find accommodation, and organize a proper transfer. This is definitely possible; the main thing is to choose an arrival time that is approximately the same for everyone.

Well, if you arrive in the city between 4 and 5 a.m., there might be a chance for everyone to meet up and spend the night at the airport or in some bars in the city. I don't know how good the airport in Novosibirsk is – I remember spending a whole day at the Tyumen airport because the flight was delayed every 2 hours.

If everyone comes to Novosibirsk

There's always the option for everyone to fly to Novosibirsk, rent the base from last year, and get drunk there ))))))))))))))))))))

In short, I'll be buying tickets to Novosibirsk next week. I need to figure out when to book the return ticket – either on the 10th in the afternoon or on the 12th early in the morning. Based on current ticket prices, it will cost around 2-3 thousand rubles. Is there anything interesting to do in Novosibirsk for 1-2 days?

With the "Numa's Mug," boredom shouldn't be an issue in any town ;)

It would be even better if I could borrow someone’s liver.

Nothing prevents you from staying in Novokuznetsk until then :)
