I'd be looking at about £550-650 (~$1,000) return flights with one change from Manchester (or maybe Leeds, which might be easier as that goes through Heathrow and then direct to Fort Worth), and I have found a few hotels at around that same price in downtown Dallas between the Raw/HoF venue and the Axxess/NXT venue, which would be ideal if I don't go the package route. I'd also look to spend more time in the city outside the Mania weekend, to enjoy it outside of wrestling geekdom, but that price would cover the hotel for the same dates as WWE are offering. This would very likely be the only WrestleMania I'd ever go to, so I might decide to go the package route despite the knowledge that Vince is profiteering more on them than necessary since it'll be a one-off, but I have still to do the figures properly this weekend to work-out just how much the difference would be. Also if I do take a package then I'd maybe need to work-out how the hell one gets a steel chair back from Texas to the north of England, but that would be an issue for another day  I just used the FedEx a couple blocks away from my hotel to get my chair home. Just don't wait until you are leaving to do that, because that FedEx actually ran out of boxes by the next day. Yeah I thought that might be one of the better options; I'd probably do that for the simple reason that I could send it to my parents whilst I'm over in Dallas since the idea of sending my Dad a steel chair from WrestleMania for some reason makes me legitimately laugh out loud  |

I have a question about extra cost with WWE package hotels for those who have gotten it before. Are their hidden costs? I see that most of the hotels in downtown Dallas charge for parking. I'm guessing WWE packages don't pay for that. What other potential costs like this have you experienced?

Just know also there is not any hotel that they've put me in that's had free breakfast. Most of the hotels have a restaurant or bar that are a little more pricy. |

Yeah I figured there wouldn't be free breakfast. Most hotels that are three stars or above from what I have researched don't have breakfast. It looks like most places in downtown dallas do have free wifi though. |
