Let's just leave it at "you don't
want to know"
As far as I know the uni doesn't get any discount although I'm sure the travel agent is looking after them. The uni gives us $500 for going, which is crap all in the scheme of things. The best thing about it though, is it's on a round-the-world ticket, so I basically have free travel within North America, more or less

Because your football grounds have yards marked out on them?
