The moment you decide to make an exception and pay someone more, others are starting to expect it as well. A very dangerous path to take and I'm sure bookers know that as well.
Why should I come and do the gig if you're paying me less than you paid X? These agencies represent loads of acts and know very well what kind of amounts are going around..

Walked in on Simon Pegg being interviewed at Greenpeace. Once i noticed I'm on camera, walked away quickly only to later stumble on the video of it and realising it was Simon Pegg. Can't find it anymore, it was somewhere on twitter..

Were showers open 24/7 or closed at night like in WV? This is something that bothered me in 2019 Worthy View.
Stayed at tipis this year and the fact that i was able to shower at night without waiting really made a difference.

Did anyone see the extremely large Ukraine flag? Saw it at a few stages over the weekend and must’ve been at least 4 times the size of a normal flag, completely blocked out the view of the stage on its own for me in some instances
This one? 🙂 That was my view for Diana Ross. I am still pro flags and ideally would limit them somehow.. like height or size, but implementing this does not seem realistic so it’s either ban or allow all. 😞

Any ideas on the strummerville TBA later tonight?
Crowded House mentioned it on stage - that they walked around the site to there and that there’s good stuff going on at night.

Found a Gyros place opposite BBC Introducing. Haven't had one yet but seen people eating them and they look huge
It was good! But not good enough to post here 🙂

Take the middle line at box office. The guy on the right is literally 3x times slower than the girl in the middle

Do you guys think a move in ticket is worth it? If I don't get one, I'll still be able to get into Sziget very early as I'll already be in Budapest the day before.
I honestly think that 50€ for a move-in is unreasonably expensive. However if you can afford it it’s worth it. We always get it cause like at other festivals - it gives you a bit of time to get comfy with the site, unpack, get the feel of the place. Arriving at the first day of program always feels a bit rushed for me. You already want to see some acts without time to unpack etc. There’s no time to breathe really.

I mean it of course gets really busy around headliners, but that's about it. Regarding crowd control they do have screens up and are making people use different routes if main stage starts to get full, but rest of the day it's surprisingly relaxed. In terms of bars I agree, never waited very long. I think it has to do with Sziget being more like a "party festival" so the amount of locations to buy a drink is much larger than generally festivals tend to have, I'd say.

Any update from your end?
One of our group of 6 got her ticket delivered to the new address (which is same for all of us)
I wrote them yesterday that I find it unlikely they'll arrive on time and got an answer "If you don’t have the tickets by Monday let us know and we can advise you then."

Have you received any update? I've emailed 3x and still not had a single acknowledgment yet.
It's the not knowing which is really beginning to stress me out.
So how are things for you now? I have tried to not get on the bandwagon of being in panic, but Seetickets despatch status says 100% of tickets have been sent, yet for us it still shows "Tickets are in stock and will be despatched shortly to the address provided." It is now Friday - there is absolute no way they'll arrive on time which means I'm going to have to figure something out at the box office. I can see myself being really pissed off if this means hours of more waiting at the site..

No Friday?
the schedule on BBC site shows Friday as well.. Interesting that it's missing from the press release!?

Nope, still the same

Uh.. in that letter they’re calling it “The International Ticket Collection Cabin” not a box office. Not sure what to make of it but it sounds like a separate box office.

Changed addresses seem to be the last ones left indeed. We are 6 people coming overseas and asked to switch from box office collection to our friends home in London to avoid all the waiting. All 6 of our tickets are still waiting on "Tickets are in stock and will be despatched shortly to the address provided." All of us don't have the same lead booker.
Edit: we made the change in the beginning of May so very early.

Justin Bieber has posted a video to his fans on social media about being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome which has left the one side of his face paralyzed...doesn't look good for Sziget?
Wow this is really bad. Really hoping to see JB but finding it hard to see him getting better enough within a few months..

We’re flying to London Heathrow on 21st, got a hotel booked in Stratford and then a bus to Glasto from Victoria on the morning of 22nd. If tubes are not running it’s going to be a hell for us tourists. Oh well - at least we know in advance.

Okay should be all fixed.
They have already updated the schedule (e.g. new names on Sunday in The Temple)
Do you think you could re-run the script?
Amazing job nevertheless, I was convinced I'm going to have to wait another 24hrs before some madman inserts the full line-up.

Tried my luck - seems like the instagram poster that was discussed here earlier does not link their stage announcement to schedule announcement. So they’re either not related or the band is not told it’s related.

Is it true that recreationals to help you last the night are really hard to find at Sziget? This is my one concern about the festival, as normally i do loads at every festival i go to, to stay awake and obviously enhance the experience.
Im guessing the dance areas will be the best place to ask around and hopefully get sorted?
Never bought any, but I’ve been approached with offers at Colosseum numerous of times, i imagine they’re easy to find if you’re at a correct location.
However local police and security themselves are very strict - can’t remember if it was 2018 or 2019, but a bunch of Dutch guys who were dealing got their tents raided and arrested.
i think amfy said it well - avoid frustration by not expecting to find something.

Secret Piano Bar

I had the craziest experience there, I guess it mainly had to do with us going there randomly without ever searching for the place. We just walked past the entrance Sunday night around 4AM. There was queue, but people around us gave such good vibes that we decided to stay waiting. Irish blokes managing the place at the queue were all completely shitfaced, which made it much more fun. The queue itself was not really "waiting" as there was some action going on at all times - getting offered some shady shots and getting spanked on ass by some Irish sports-type-of-thing. Literally. After we finally got in - the good vibe at the queue really mirrored inside. Design of the place was really good - no electricity seemed to be used at all. There was a bar with some old man managing it, selling drinks i had never heard of, while everybody had to be quiet for the program, the bar guy kept talking to me really loud. There was a band, after what there was some lady reading a poem and then there was this drunk guy telling a story, which got people really going. Anyway - at one point some drunk punter disturbs the story by making some kind of a bad reference out loud and suddenly everybody in the "arena" pointed a finger on him screaming "JAIL!! JAIL!!! JAIL!!!!". Turns out they had a jail/cage type of thing and he was locked up there. Not sure how he got out as I did not stay long enough, but he seemed really sad and confused. His friend was worried and told us "i am scared of him being in jail, cause he is so drunk and lost" .. and then she asked us for some cocaine, but did not have any to offer. Surreal. None of the things in the venue did not make sense which made it brilliant.
(she did get cocaine from some other guy, but this does not top the girls using their long nail beds for cocaine at the other stage during supergrass)
