How much did travel, accom, and registration cost you, Simon?
I imagine all the hotels/hostels are oversubscribed and pricey as fuck.
I think if you get in early, there is no real problem with accomodation. Joe is probably a better person to ask about trying to keep the budget down, I think he booked a local hostel and used public transport to get to Motala from the airport, which seemed to work out really well.
I was lazy and just booked a nearby hotel and rented a car. It made life easy but was not that cheap. The plan had been to split the hotel/car rental with a mate, but they couldnt make the trip in the end.
