To pay in advance you have to be swedish (if you're from another country and really eager to pay in advance, mail us and we'll work something out) and all you have to do is pay 200:- to our postgiro 37 42 51 - 7 and include name, telephone number and social security number for each of the people you pay for. Do NOT forget to save the receipt to show us at the entrance. HOW TO GET THERE BY CAR Take the E20 towards Göteborg or Stockholm depending on where you start. When you reach Kastenhofsmotet, leave the highway and follow the signs saying 'Stenkullen'. Having arrived at the center of Stenkullen, turn left into the street called Gråbovägen. After about 300 metres you have Vättlehallen - the party place - on your right hand. HOW TO GET THERE BY TRAIN, BOAT OR PLANE When travelling using any of these vehicles you should get to Göteborg as a start. If you are one of those rich chaps or maybe a bit lazy, the right thing for you to .do is to call for a cab and make the driver follow the description above. The other alternative is to locate Centralstation, the main ( and only) railway station of Göteborg and catch the local train towards Alingsås. Get off at Stenkullen, the first stop after Lerum. Proceed straight forward on foot about 250 meters and you face Vättlehallen, the party place. There will be signs in the surroundins showing the way to the partyplace, Pit's almost impossible not finding Icing '98! If you still do, just ask some nicelooking guy for 'Vättlehallen'.
