    I think Rockbottoms in Torquay and Jive Addiction in Scarborough are the same weekend as Bliss.

    No idea if there's any availability on either - I think that Jive Addiction may have sold out the accomodation but you may be able to go if you can find somewhere to stay.
    Love dance, will travel

    Partyweekender at warmwell didn't seem to be on that list. More live bands and rock'n'roll - but they have added a blues room since I last went.

    Have you checked out the Bliss Message Board.

    There appears to be the odd chalet and some wristbands ( no accomadation) available.

    Sorry Stewart, my bad - the link's main content was for the Oct w/e as you mention, but what I was trying to point out was the list on the right of that page. Sorry, wasn't clear with my link

    Of course (adds a flower and smile)

    I wish they would get rid of old messages

    Got the one with female ticket he said it went ages ago etc

    I've contacted ceroc HQ ( the old i lost my legs can i come routine )

    Its interesting lots of women have taken male tickets and now selling them without accomendation, kind of negates gender balance

    Just to elaborate.. a couple of Rock 'n Roll bands but no Rock 'n Roll dancers - they are mostly MJ dancers with a handful of swing dancers (small handful)

    The Rollerball rink was transformed into a swing and blues room, nice selection of swing and blues by all the DJs

    Defo recommend this weekender - great accomodation (log cabins) and very friendly natives. Draw back is the early finish - but the fun starts again in the cabins

    Highlight of my time there in April was the Belly Dancing class the class teacher was fantastic - great class (some fellas in it too)

    Ahhh, that's the kind of good old-fashioned risk-taking free-market capitalism that's got us where we... oops.

    Just hang on until the week before Bliss S38, people who have booked will be sick or have unexpected work commitments or whatever and tickets will become available. Hopefully the mug expecting to make a profit on the ticket will actually lose out.

    People can charge what they want I guess

    Its using the ceroc national website that gets me. Ticket touts etc

    The £99 doesnt include the accomodation so that makes it worse

    I thought you are doing each other a favour etc as detailed below. I've asked him how much he wants

    What's got us where we are, is risk taking capitalism where the bankers get the rewards but dump much of the risk on the taxpayer.

    Here risk and reward are properly balanced.

    Personally I think the guy is rather optimistic. They may have sold out but it didn't look like Ceroc actually applied their early / late / dodo bird price bands.

    I was promised male and female ticket with accomedation if I paid by friday via Pay Pal, i needed to set up Pay Pal, she assured me if she got another offer she would let me know

    The women then sold them today at the same price without telling me, about it 5 mins before I was going to pay via Pay Pal

    Doesnt it just put your faith in people

    what comes around goes around I guess

    Stewart seeing as you have been so nice about Ceroc on this Forum lately I would think that Ceroc will make a special effort to accommodate you at any of their weekends.
