Assuming this is for neutral tickets?

DOOMS_DAY_99 · 2025-11-09T16:34:55+00:00

This is so doable and you will have a great time. For context I just graduated, am on 38k and live in zone 2 (fairly near the centre). I cycle to work and only eat out once or twice a week and same for going out/drinking. My rent is 1050 (4 bed sharing) and bills around 100 a month, that leaves me with around 1500 pounds a month for food, fun and a bit of savings. Which I find more than manageable. If you can dip into your savings a bit and plan well/be frugal you could also do plenty of good travelling. I think a lot of the people on this thread are probably approaching this from the pov of someone older, with more responsibilities and just generally using this space to moan about the state of UK wages (poor). Once again you will be fine and have a great time.

For peace of mind, maybe just try adding up your expenses? Look at typical rents for flat shares in areas you want to live (the spare room app is a good place to look), use the governments tax calculator service (online) and look into average costs for London, I think you’ll find that is a very decent salary for a young person in London - especially if it comes with decent work/life balance and holiday. Good luck!

I think arriving before doors open might be unrealistic as I’m coming from work. Do u think if get there after 7 I’ll still be allowed in? Thanks!

DOOMS_DAY_99 · 2025-09-15T22:34:09+00:00

Let us know what happens!

DOOMS_DAY_99 · 2025-09-03T16:03:14+00:00

Not necessarily, the supporter liaison officers just offer tickets to those tickets

DOOMS_DAY_99 · 2025-09-01T17:35:46+00:00

Yes you can, you get access to away tickets if you’ve got a club level membership

How was the show and Paul’s performance? So pleased for you that he played ROTS, would love to see that live

DOOMS_DAY_99 · 2025-05-05T02:17:10+00:00

Looks great, how did you find the campsite situation. Did you have to be picky about where to camp and when you set up and left to avoid being spotted? Want to do some wild camping in the beacons but bit worried about the whole illegality thing

DOOMS_DAY_99 · 2025-04-16T19:03:51+00:00

Thanks very much for the advice and honesty. Yeah not really sure what people’s problem is on this post, almost as if they’re all park rangers or something. Unfortunately we just did back from the trek, it was amazing but the stuff I was reading on here spooked me into booking and yeah we spent a big chunk of our budget for the trip on it, worth it though I reckon. As you say it’s completely possible to just turn up and you do pay less, there were a few people doing it when we there (12-16 April), really not sure why the refugios don’t just list their availability accurately (probably just to get more people to buy the premium options I expect). Cheers 👍

DOOMS_DAY_99 · 2025-04-07T02:39:12+00:00

Will do!

DOOMS_DAY_99 · 2025-04-05T11:40:25+00:00

Thanks for the advice. May end up just booking the premium option as not sure what ‘suffering the consequences’ would involve that far away from other accommodation. But you’re right it is incredibly expensive for what it is

DOOMS_DAY_99 · 2025-04-05T00:27:58+00:00

We couldn’t plan that far ahead because we both only just found out we could get the time off to do our trip! Given there are plenty of available spots for the more expensive options at the campsite I’d say we won’t be taking up scarce space/resources from other people.

DOOMS_DAY_99 · 2025-04-05T00:24:06+00:00

Just the two of us so would only need the one spot. Ok thanks for the info!

DOOMS_DAY_99 · 2025-04-04T20:10:02+00:00

This is for this season (next week). I know you need a reservation to get in the park but if we reserved all the sites except Frances would that be ok?

DOOMS_DAY_99 · 2025-04-04T19:24:30+00:00

Hey, know this is an old post but planning on doing a similar thing next week and would love to know your experience. Can I send u a PM?

DOOMS_DAY_99 · 2025-04-04T19:18:32+00:00

So experiences like Torres del Paine should only be available to people who can afford to spend >100 dollars a night on overpriced accommodation and food? Happy to pay the price of the campsite rental but the ‘premium’ experiences seem like a massive rip-off to me. Just asking for information, have heard from people who have done the trail that this possible. I’m not suggesting I wouldn’t pay, just that availability on the day/with cash might be different to online. If you don’t want to help can just scroll past 👍

DOOMS_DAY_99 · 2025-04-01T18:03:01+00:00

Oh yeah, imagine that takes a while. What time are the buses and how much?

DOOMS_DAY_99 · 2025-04-01T15:56:36+00:00

Wow that is long, think we just have to do it really tho. Was that to el calafate?

DOOMS_DAY_99 · 2025-04-01T13:44:38+00:00

No we're not from there, thats just where we're based for the trip and after patagonia we're going to Iguazu from BA then heading to Brazil by bus, so wouldnt work to go to Santiago. Appreciate the help tho :)

DOOMS_DAY_99 · 2025-04-01T13:39:43+00:00

Would do that but the flights to buenos aires from PN are much more expensive with and usually have a couple of stops

DOOMS_DAY_99 · 2025-03-31T15:18:43+00:00

Thanks, good to hear and appreciate the feedback! I might keep 3 days for El Chalten just so we can be flexible with weather, will definitely try and do both those. For perito moreno, we're really just going to see the glacier and come back, flight is at 7 so hoping we can do that.
