just got my quote for WCST in turkey.
have got about 6 days to confirm,which makes it a bit difficult.
anyone else looking to go??
games are played in kayseri(i think thats how it is spelt)
not real happy about the limited time to confirm,have waited for months since they first announced tour.

Might be cheaper to just go it alone.
Most young Turks (pardon the pun) would be able to speak English to get help etc, and they are a pretty sophisticated lot (in spite of what most Greeks would have you believe).
If the quote is ridiculous you could probably go by yourself or in a small group with no major problems.
Here is the FIBA page for the WCs tickets link in the top right. But the 2nd ballot ends on Feb 20th.

Must say i envy you - was fortunate enough to attend the last WCs over here in Japan in 06 and had a blast. It could only be better in a country where the people actually understand and appreciate basketball!!! Like the Turks do.

That's really not a bad package deal - after all you will get to party on with everyone else following the Booomers and possibly even the players at some stage as well! But you could get cheaper if you did it on your own and hunted for accommodation bargains, flights etc...
I'd love to go, but the timing for this year for me just does not work out :(
Skull - how did you go. Did you book? Anyone else going or know of any tours?
