Hi, I've got one Sziget weekly ticket with camping to sell. If anyone is interested please e-mail me: [email protected]. Cheers!

[Uncle Liam]

This time in two weeks I'll be on a plane...

... or most likely sat in the departure lounge at Luton Airport waiting for my delayed flight.

[PastCaring]

Well, city passes paid for, mobile app uploaded. In two weeks time we'll be thinking about making the journey down to the festival site to collect our wristbands (assuming there are no really serious flight delays - of, like, 24 hours or more - haha!). Has anyone got any good recommendations of bands, etc., that we might want to check out before we set off?

[Uncle Liam]

Hurts are simply outstanding.

Best gig I saw last year was them in the tent... which coming after Pulp and Interpol is high praise indeed.

[Uncle Liam]

Everyone want some really good news?

According to the app, main stage (and outdoor stages in general) finish at 2200.

What a load of shite if thats true.

Anyone know if the 2 day city passes allow free entry to a spa? The two week one only allows one free entry this year (unlimited last year). Trying to figure out if I'd be better off getting a 13 Day (29 Euro) one or 4 x 2 day (36 Euro) ones (only in Budapest for 8 Days)so we can go to the spa 4 times for free!

yeah as people have said the headliners dont start till half 9 so can imagine them finishing at 11pm

and regarding who to check out it might be a good idea to tell us what your tastes are as its quite a varied festival

[AndyBradshaw1]

Do you really think any of the headline bands would even consider turning up if they only got given a half hour set and those before them got a good 45 minute set ? lol

I visited Sziget last year but all this -2, -1 stuff for some reason gets me really confused with days- I have already booked our flights home one day later than I meant to as I thought there was still stuff on on the 13th! Pretty sure I didn't mean to give us a day extra on the end but never mind, extra day in Budapest

However, my query is that I see on the site that there is the "day of the Hungarian song" on day -2 i.e. the 5th, but a camping pass does not get you in until the 6th. Is this just a little something for the people that have paid the small amount extra to come for that extra day and get a good spot (or even the day before that I can see!). Did this happen last year? The day with Prince last year was the equivalent of metal day this year, am I right? I think I have it right in my head but discovering that I didn't book the flight I thought I did has me doubting myself!

[Lambo_KoRn]

yeah ive bought 6 2day passes for me n my friends so we get more free spar passes

and the days confused me alot to start with, the main fetival is from wednesday-monday, metal day is on the tuesday, if you have a 7day camping pass you should be able to get in on the monday, apparently theres stuff going on on the saturday and sunday as well i think

[WhatAboutMe]

Could anybody tell me how the City passes are delivered or how long they take. we set off a week on sunday. Should i just get them over there or now from which website? thanks

[EricTheKing]

Do you then exchange these e-vouchers somewhere?

[PastCaring]

Apparently, there are various exchange points where you can exchange the vouchers for a wristband. Somewhere earlier on this thread there is a posting explaining it all.

[mr_monkey]

am hoping someone can help me ..... going to my first sziget this year and arriving in budapest on saturday the 4th and staying in a hotel for a couple of nights and was just wondering what the best way to get into the city centre was from the airport (i have bought a city pass if that helps!)

thanks

Hey guys

Does anyone know much about this Ostfest Pre Party at A38 on the Sunday? Tickets were 6.50euros but I assume as they are not on the official site anymore (from what I can tell.) that they are sold out?

If so (it's a long shot ) does anyone have a spare one going? I'm meeting friends in Budapest on the Sunday and I appear to be the only one who missed out. Don't really fancy a night on my own in the hostel :S

[PastCaring]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that when I went on the official site to buy our city passes it did actually say that the A38 Pre Party was sold out - though it doesn't make that much different for us cos we don't arrive until the Monday!

[AndyBradshaw1]

@gutterflower, what hostel are you staying in? Just out of interesti s anyone on this forum staying at the Maverick Hostel before the festival?

[Gutterflower]

We are all in The Groove Hostel over by the Western Station. Looked pretty good and easy to meet up at as its right next to one of the stations (although annoyingly not the one I arrive at)
