Dear Andrew,

the link worked, it has been active until the 31st of may and we have received a number of bookings for the bus transfer from the airport to Esino and back. It was closed on the 31st in order for us to define the number of buses and set a timetable. Stuart is now working on re-opening the registration to buy the remaining seats at the following link:

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wikimania-2016-airport-transfers-tickets-22670558250

Please also note that the main arrival is on the 21st of June (we are expecting approx. 70% of participants on this day). This is why we do not have many people booked for Thursday the 23rd.

Kind regards,
Marta

Iolanda, I find this entirely unsatisfactory:

“If you did not buy a ticket for your direct transport from and to the airport, you do not have direct transport from and to the airport.”

The link never worked the many times I tried. Andy Mabbett and I have reported to you the problems with the Eventbrite link being listed as “unavailable.” Your current schedule says on a main travel day of Thursday, 23 June, only enough people (4?) have requested Malpensa -> Esino transportation. I find that hard to believe considering the volume of folks going to the conference.

Can we please get some more help for coordinating travel from the Wikimania team? I feel we are working in the dark here. Thanks.

    dear all
    Everyone – who has got a ticket with accommodation in Esino Lario
    and received a confirmation from eventbrite – has accommodation in
    Esino Lario. Marta and Patrizia have assigned all the beds.
    You will be given your address and keys in Piazza Italia in Esino
    Lario at your arrival; we expect you to arrive the 21st or the
    23rd according to to the 5 or 3 days ticket you got.
    Marta will send you today some further information about your
    travel and arrival.

    Pleonastic, but
    If you did not buy a ticket with accommodation in Esino Lario, you
    don’t have accommodation in Esino Lario.
    If you did not buy a ticket for your direct transport from and to
    the airport, you do not have direct transport from and to the airport.
    Eventually you can get worried if you don’t have an eventbrite
    confirmation.

    I personally consider wikipedians and wikimedians the most
    intelligent people I can spend time with. We certainly pretend you
    to get to Esino Lario, to find the right bus, to take the train in
    the right direction (please note that Tirano is not Torino), to
    sign up for events and to read (and cite) all necessary sources.
    Certainly… it’s the beginning of a great adventure.

    Nothing here, and with only a week to go before I start my
    travels. I sympathise with the organisers who are being bombarded
    with all sorts of questions and no doubt have many other things
    to worry about. I remember how that felt in 2014. But these are
    not minor details for people travelling long distances,
    especially for those of us who have taken time off work and spent
    our own money to get there.

    Could we trouble the organisers at least for a date by which
    we'll have some information on where we're staying?

    Thanks,
    Harry

        A week has passed since the above reply; I'm concerned that I
        still
        have no information about where I shall be staying, nor
        indeed whether
        I have somewhere to stay. Does anyone else?
