Hi Skapaneas! I really hope you can make it for another round!
Here is some help I found. I think most expensive will be the flight:
186 - 200 EUR roundtrip from Athens. (direct / 1 stop combos - use skyscanner to search the best offers)
There are some current SteemFest ticket give aways by @firepower and @blueorgy for example. So if you win one of those it is one step closer.
Additionally I found around the corner of the "official hotels" which are already having their rate going up & up, as we past the cheap booking dates, a 2 person room for EUR 345 for 5 nights (Hotel Flamingo), which you could try to find a roommate (search the #steemfest tag and monitor https://steemit.chat/channel/steemfest . For hotels I recommend you use Booking.com and search on the map near 'Marques de Pombal' area as the busses leave from there, and opening drinks are over there. None the less Lisbon is very easy to travel with great subway connections.
If you could split the room that would add another 170 euro.
So then many of the steemfest days are covered all expenses / food & drinks. But just to be sure add for 3 days about 35 euro food == 105 euro.
So the cheapest option would be under 500 euro. Then you can apply @t-r-f to get some money back. If you go lower on the hotel you could even bring the moneys down some more...
I recommend you join those contests, and find a roommate to split the hotel :) Really hope you can make it!
I can understand your urge to go and meet the members of the Steemit community. There will most likely be other meetings in future though.
What I would do in your situation, is try to farm and save as much money as possible and invest it. Don't spend any money on unnecessary things and invest everything you can. Be it either in Steem or anything else you might find useful.
Admittedly this is not short term solution, but not necessarily the longest possible route. Yes, you will most likely miss the meeting this year but if you work hard and spend your money wisely, you might have no problem in participating in the next one.
Heck, in two years you might not even have any trouble in participating in 5 meetings around the globe. Invest in your future so that you'll most likely have an easier and more enjoyable life later on <3
Yeah this is what I am doing at the moment investing in anything I found seemingly interesting into and hoping for the best.
thanks for your comment/advice I think you deserve a full upvote from me.
If I had your wallet I would power down to get the ticket .
I am on the verge of going. My worry is that I am already attending another event in London and Lisbon will probably deplete my cash reserves.
Hope that will close enough clients in the near future to have the money.
My experience is that these events are the best investment with huge ROI. Go for it ... :)
My steem power is something I build on for the future as I am a true believer of steemit. every time I power down no matter the amount I found my self regretting it. I know steem price in the next 3 years will look nothing like it does at the moment not even close. so I am waiting out for that time. :) welcome to steemit man. Have a nice stay here with us. I am following.
My argument is that you will get much greater value/ROI from actually meeting with the other steemians. But in the end it's your wallet your choice. :)
Nice to meet you . I am enjoying this part of the webs. See ya !!!
I would like to get my ass down there too so much, but as yourself i am locked in a similar situation. If i miss this one, i will be definitely saving up for the next steemfest as it would be so nice to meet you guys in real life and to hear those stories directly :) I hope you can make it, here is my 2 cents :)
The low wages in Greece is a big drama.
I wish two next months you can find the amount that you will allow to be there!
I feel you how much you want to be there!

This is automatic response so that I may respond to your mention later.Hi @kouloumos, I see you have mentioned me.
others should get a chance. I have already been at least at Amsterdam.
The low wages in Greece is a big drama.
