The fair is actually from the Monday to Friday 5/9 June, so the hotelier was telling a few porkies!
Athens hotels are more expensive than the suburbs, but not appreciably so.
Shall I cancel my reservation at the Blue Sky and forfeit the €40 already paid, and look further north?

That's what I'm going to do if Blue Sky come back and say the hotel is available...

You're not forfeiting it, are you?! They'd refund. Especially considering that they can't appear to fit anyone else in their hotel!
Cancelled it and asked them for a refund. There wasn't a lot of substance in the deleted threads, hopefully Elias will come back soon with something for us - gonna spend some time this afternoon doing some more investigation of the whole area.
Best place for tickets, btw, is www.ts1.gr, or more specifically, here.
Tickets are 47 Euros plus 3 Euros booking fee, and 43 Euros to ship to the UK via DHL (if you decide not to pick them up)! 
492 places left from www.ts1.gr - best site for international orders, as this one allows you to enter a UK address/phone number (in English)! :p
Al,Tim..
Is this an outdoor festival ??
Athens should be warming up quite nicely..in every sense.
Spent a weekend there a few years ago...before boating on to Aegena.
Athens is a great place...if you can avoid getting ran over !!!
I love the place, one of my favourite cities, but the hotel booking system is a bit strange to say the least! You make the reservation enquiry, they come back and tell you they have rooms, then they come back later and tell you they haven't, after taking card details!
So can you tell me for how many persons / rooms are we talking about? Maybe I can check it out through the travel agency Detox is cooperating..
and maybe the range of the prices you ve allready got.. It can be used for pushing for lower prices maybe..

Check out this page! it is a list of hotels choosed for the 4th European Social Forum
It is held in the same location with the festival, so they ll do with your transportation, plus they ll probably be cheap ones...
Thanks, we are looking at three or four rooms with twin beds in (for 8 people total) between 2nd and 5th June (we fly in at 0055 on the 2nd and leave at 1640 on the 5th), and obviously we would prefer the individual cost to be less than €100 a night if possible, hopefully a lot less!

this summer is going to SUCK!

Well, flight(s) and hotel are booked, and awaiting festival ticket to arrive before I leave - apparently the festival only sent the ticket agency the tickets today, which leaves them 2 1/2 days for them to courier it to my house before I jump on a place to Greece... Added to that, I'm only going to be in on a Thursday morning for DHL to send me the tickets...
Should be good - Athens has a temperature of around 30 degrees - i.e. some nice sunshine, ouzo, some great music (wonder what the setlist will be?), and some great company - can't wait! 
Got my train tickets to Athens Already got my Festival Ticket Checked www.ejekt.gr for the schedule of the appearences Cant wait to see No. !
I really hope for 1963 on the setlist (which hasnt been played since 1989 according to the stats on this site)
Maybe we should all shout and request this one!
