Back To The Beginning - Accommodation

Well... I've managed to grab a ticket but the hotel situation is f***ed!

Every Airbnb, hotel, spare room, everything is all either sold out or the price has been put up by 30x (literally one hotel was asking £1,500 for the weekend instead of normal £50 price).

How is the entire city of Birmingham sold out when the venue only holds 45,000 people?! 😅

[Edit: I managed to get a room on Airbnb. I'll leave this post up because some of the comments have suggestions that might be helpful for others.]
