These are the most expensive tournaments in the city by far.
(Note-for FM groups the standard Hungarian player fee is 12,000 HUF(40EUR/ 54USD;54CAN), foreigners see website list; everything is negotiable; No prizes)

Other Tournaments
Hidden from tourists are some real bargains. Budapest is the home of affordable tournaments. Many bargain tournaments available, all with prizes and modest entry fees. 

Some diligent digging is required to find these events. Check the Hungarian Federation event listing for events.
