Hi everyone. Looking to go Opener this year but need some advice. Signed up to see if anyone can help! Basically I would be flying from liverpool into Gdansk on the 1st july. What is the transport from Gdansk to the festival? Secondly, my return flight would be at 6am on the 6th. How would I get back to Gdansk from the campite in time for flight. Are there trains/buses running that late? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

We're flying on the same route, if you wanted to swap details maybe a few of us could chip in for a taxi to the airport on the way back?

Unless there's a bus or train, then all wil be fine and dandy.

[moz4pm]

we should try and organize an efests meet at the festival, just two of us going would be cool to hook up with some more people

[merkin69]

Same here, just the two of us going I'd be well up for a meet up over the week/weekend. Trying to learn some key Polish phrases of my Polish mate, but don't 100% trust him haha. I'll probably end up gettin slapped asking for a burger or something!!

[Madalien]

Id be on for a meet up, there are 3 of us definitley going at the moment so yeah, would be good to meet up with some fellow efesters!

[Markj11]

hi guys. just booked tickets, anyone know how fast they come through? also, theres two of us going, would be up for meeting for sure!

I've setup a facebook event, I reckon it would be easier to organize a meet on there

[reckoner88]

Sounds good man, i'll check it out!!

Some polish acts have just been added. Maria Peszek, The Car Is On Fire, Gaba Kulka, Łąki Łan, Village Kollektiv, Sofa i Renton. For you from UK I would recomend The Car Is On Fire, Gabriela Kulka and Renton- they sing in Englishm and they're not worse than the rest of international bands.

Gaba Kulka, in Polish, but she has many english lyric too.

Someone asked about cameras... 3,2 mpix allowed, no more.

And a journey Lpool- Kraków- Gdynia is not a good idea if you have an option to get a flight to Gdansk/ Poznan, or even Warsaw. You can spend even 12 hours in a train from Kraków.

And if you're intrested in some more events in Poland- Selector Festival (Franz Ferdinand, Fisherspooner, Royksopp, Orbital, Digitalism and more) in Kraków- about 50 euros for 2 days- seems to be great.

Cheers

Are they physically going to inspect my camera if i bring it!? Its seems a bit stupid, because any camera that you buy today is going to be nearly more than 3.2

If i was to scratch off any indication of 3.2 megapixels on it, would i get away with it!? I just wanna capture some cool moments of the fest is all!

[franta]

It's really common in Poland... Unfortunatelly. They usually don't give a shit about small ones, but if you want to bring big Nikon D90 whit a brand new huge objective or this kind of stuff, you have to be carefull. There's no problem if you want to bring it in, i think the security has no right to look for it in your luggage, they only might ask you about it, but they can see you taking a photos during gigs.

Hi guys, bought my tickets last week from the alter art shop, the money has come out of my bank account, just wondering what the next step is? Is "Ticket printout" on the alter art website the thing I need to take to the festival to exchange for my wristband? Thanks.

Could any of the Polish or anyone who's been to Open'er before tell me if you can buy tents there, and if so where abour? As I don't fancy the £50 airport charge for taking my tent, cheers.
