Babycake78 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 I'm from the UK and I've been to Sziget in 2013 and 2014. It rained a bit last year and got a little mudddy but the Sziget team put stuff down to soak up the mud so it was fine. It's also hot in the day which dries the mud too. I wouldn't bother with boots, it's too hot. Trainers should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't bother with boots, it's too hot. Trainers should be fine. I was hoping some one was going to say that really didnt want to have to try and fit boots in my luggage. As for temperatures...... even if its wet, or at night...ive been told its still warm? im not the type who feels the cold, UK festivals tend to be shorts in the day and maybe night time too (or jeans and T-shirt at night). UK can get cold later into the night so i just wear a long sleeve t-shirt, or maybe a thin jumper/ jacket. So im guessing at Sziget i'll be in short / t-shirt most the time?

Sziget2015New Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 When do you receive your Festipay Card at Sziget? Is it when you first go to the festival... Cheers for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero_Newnab Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 You can get them at the top up points, if I remember correctly. Also, it can get a bit cold at night! Depends how much you drink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babycake78 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Well in 2013 it was hot all the time, last year it did get a bit cold at night. You might want to take a hoodie or 2. You can buy cheap hoodies from the merchandise store as well, just look for previous years' stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwharton91 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hi everyone - just a quick question! If we have basic camping and we buy camping sets can we still use lockers? Do these lockers last all week and can you fit a suitcase in one? The website is very vague Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwharton91 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Can someone please recommend a good budget friendly hotel/apartment/hostel for four people for a week please? Just looking at alternatives to camping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doobie ninja Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Rudimental will play the main stage on sunday. Not a fan myself but they do seem to whip up the crowd so might be quite good. i really had my heart set on the Chemical Brothers playing Edited July 15, 2015 by doobie ninja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkrve Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Saw Rudimental live once and was quite a good party. Definitely like some of there numbers. Buy tickets for LowLands the weekend after Sziget. Chemical Brothers are playing there ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ourkid1984 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 With Balthazar as the last remaining band to be announced I'm fairly happy with those 2 additions. I'm not a big fan of either but Rudimental are ideal for the last day hopefully in the sun and Balthazar are a good warm up to Interpol. Counting down the days have begun!

siiiim Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Since I'm driving there for like 25 hours, I made myself a Sziget playlist on Spotify. Thought some of you would enjoy it as well to get in the mood! https://open.spotify.com/user/siiiim/playlist/2H0kMPikBMkKCBcWTgkbKp or Spotify url in search bar spotify:user:siiiim:playlist:2H0kMPikBMkKCBcWTgkbKp Edited July 16, 2015 by siiiim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkrve Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Thanks For the playlist. Was already following another one by "newnab" but are now also following yours. I just hit shuffle and hear what comes along. Great way to discover music you like and otherwise will not have known. Thanks for making the playlist! See you over at Sziget !!

Zero_Newnab Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 "Newnab" is me! I have a couple of playlists: The full one: https://open.spotify.com/user/newnab/playlist/1gdampT5jUOaO2SHZ91OHb And a minimix which just has one song per artist and is a lot shorter and more focused on the things I like: https://open.spotify.com/user/newnab/playlist/2ksD1kFNlaZEm4WDrHQmsO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIl C Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Might be a stupid question but anyway.... Festival dates are 10-17th. If Martin Garrix (the closing party) is on the 16th is the 17th just moving out day? Can you camp on the 17th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeliam Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Night of 16 to 17 is the last night to camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Martin Garrix (the closing party) is on the 16th is the 17th just moving out day? Can you camp on the 17th? This caught me out last year! You heave to leave on the 17th. I had already booked flights by then so ended up getting a hotel for a night, which turned out to be a good move anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobie ninja Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Hi Bored at work so just sat here thinking about Sziget. got me thinking.... Citypass: is it a wrist band? How does it work on the trams and stuff, do you just show it to an attendant? I want to get mine when I land at the airport but I don’t land until something like 5:30pm Thursday 6th so will the kiosk be open? If not, can you get them from the festival site? Because I land on the Thursday the shuttle bus will not be running so I'll have to get a taxi (I'm staying in the Oktagon district) Lockers: just seen the dimensions of the lockers, I have a guarded locker in Alternativa camping. Wow they're small, a pair of trainers will fill it! Clothes: Was having a read of the site and came across the laundry service. I did wonder about this seems I'm there from the 6th – 18th. Did anyone use this service? cheers guys....not long now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeliam Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 From what I remember the citypass is a wristband. Measurements: 30 x 14.2 x 50 cm For the lockers. I'm sure it's more than enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokenygergo Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Hi everyone! Just a quick question, can someone suggest a well located parking lot near to the Festival? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sziget2015New Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hi guys, flying into budapest airport. Just wondered if there are easy transport links from there (taxi or bus or tram)? Also when do you get a festival card, which you can put money into and use at sziget? Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziegenhirte Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Sadly, I have no time to go to the Sziget Festival, so I sell my three One-Day-Tickets. My plan was to visit the beautiful city of Budapest and have some nice days at the festival side as well. I chose three days, on which my favorite bands are playing. We, 12.08. Th, 14.08. Su, 16.08. These One-Day-Tickets allow you to enter the ground from 6 a.m. in the morning till 8 a.m. the following day. Normally the tickets cost 3x 52 € = 156 € I would sell them for 3x 42 € = 126 €. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone use this service? cheers guys....not long now When I went to Benicassim in 2012, Samsung had sponsored a free washing service where you'd drop off your dirty clothes, get a receipt and then pick them up later that day. I wouldn't be surprised if Sziget do something similar to this especially considering the length of the festival. It would be much easier to get clothes washed rather than bring 9 days worth of clothing! On another note, I'm happy, there's 5 of us going to Szgiet and we all bought VIP camping tickets apart from one person who was too late before they sold out. Sziget e-mailed me yesterday saying that we can buy 1 VIP camping ticket and have given me a code to take to the ticket desk. Talk about customer service!

susommer Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Hello!! I am going to Sziget for the first time and very excited since ive never been to a festival that size! I have a few questions I would love if you are able to answer 1. Are the watches water proof? If they are not it ain't wroth the money 2. How far are the lockers from most of the camping sites? I bought one with a charger and I hope I don't have to walk everyday long distances to charge it. 3. If I arrive Monday morning, will there still be decent camping sites for 12 people? 4. How long can you stay on the island on the 17? we are gonna be dead after Sigma at 6 am so I am wondering if we can sleep till the afternoon or have to pack. 5. Male/female ratio? (or as my friend asked me: is it easy to get at Sziget?) 6. Most recommended stage other than colluseum, arena, main and a38? hope you can answer all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeliam Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Hey man! 1- I think they are but not sure. 2- You can check that on the map: http://szigetfestival.com/info/map 3- That's a lot to ask but if you arrive early I think it's possible. Most of my group will arrive during the weekend though. 4- No you have up to 10am to leave. 5- Lots of girls and lots of boys! With 400k persons over the week you'll find someone! 6- Chill Garden, definitely! this year it's at the beach! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
