Bohan Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 27 minutes ago, neil is brill said: Anyone else worried about how Brexit is going to affect the cost of their trip, or is it just me? Been monitoring the exchange rates lately, and all this no-deal gubbins is expected to bring GBP down somewhat. Which I wouldn't mind as I can just buy my USD this week and be done with it. However, my hotel isn't taking payment until I check in, and at the exchange rate on the day, which is 6 days after Brexit. My hotel is just over £700 at todays rate, and assuming the rate falls after Brexit, it'll cost me more. By how much is anyones guess. I didn't really factor Brexit into my plans. Should I be worried? Yeah it's a valid point this and I had the same worry. Yesterday I paid for my hotel stay in advance and stuck it in the credit card just incase the pound suddenly plummeted in the days leading up to the trip. The current exchange rate is 1.31 to the pound which is the strongest exchange rate since Mania 32 if you are in the position to change your pounds up now then I would just go right ahead and get it done with. Of course you are running the risk, because for all we know we could suddenly see growth in the pound over the coming weeks - all up in the air really! In other news Impact have ditched their co promoted show with House Of Glory and moved their Thursday night event to Newark with an 11pm start time. This is because of a talent sharing programme with MLW as previously their Thursday night shows were clashing. This now means that the MLW Fusion tapings will only run up against Wrestlecon Supershow, whilst Impact will now clash with AIW's midnight show at White Eagle Hall.

I’m aiming to do the same this week & get the hotel paid for.  I’ve been keeping an eye on the exchange rate for a while to see when to do it and noticed yesterday that Expedia still have their sale on so there’s some potential options to just book a new hotel & pay it off straight away.

I'm staying there from Tuesday-Thursday before I meet up with my cousin and relocate to Hyatt House in Jersey City. Paid £200 for the two nights at Pod and then around 800 for 5 nights in a king studio at the Hyatt.

LWOLeN Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Pod Hotel here also. It’s a min walk from WrestleCon. Plus it looks clean. I was in NYC for Mania 29. It was perfect. My biggest tip: The Meadowlands Horse Racing Track is a 5 min. Walk from Metlife Stadium. It’s open on Sundays. It’s a  big (gambling) Facility, which means clean toilets, comfy Seats, tons of tv screens and a restaurant. It’s the perfect place to hang out, stay warm, drink coffee and take a proper shit before Mania. Entrance is free (assuming you don’t bet on the wrong horse) ;). My schedule so far: Wed - NHL @ MSG Thu - WrestleCon Supershow @ Hilton Fri - NXT @ Barclays Sat - RoH/ New Japan @ MSG Sun - Mania @ Metlife Mon - RAW @ Barclays Tue - SD @ Barclays Any news on Axxess?

That'll be my Sunday morning sorted then. I have to collect my tickets from Will Call so I'll have a flutter or two whilst I'm waiting. No news on Axxess yet. Hope they announce something soon though. Hoping to snag a GA and a Premium ticket once they're available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
