I'm reluctant to commit the cash too far ahead of time (but I've booked my hostel bed!) but I don't want to leave it too late and not get a place.

Not sure when the ballot stopped, but donran is right, it hasnt beenselling outand also...depening on past times there are also GFA slots open until very late on
