pete76 Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Nearly perfect lineup. They should send Iron Maiden to I-Days in Milan and bring Pearl Jam instead ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauraaaa Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Does this festival include camping? It's very hard to find info...so I doubt it. But I would love to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apartments/hotels in Florence are the most expensive in Italy I think (maybe Venice costs more) Edited November 26, 2017 by alan_ts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Baggins Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Bought tickets for this festival last week, apparently the pit tickets were sold out in about a minute. Anyone been to it before? I was told last year was it's first year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They layout of the site makes imposible to see the stage or the screens outside the huge Inner Pit. Advice: enter early and get as close as you can to the fence that separates the Pit from the rest of the people. Huge queues to get expensive beer. Best thing: Firenze is an amazing city. You can enjoy visiting it. Edited November 27, 2017 by johnybegood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaphPH Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Lucked out - going for 3 days - Foos / Iron / Guns - have pit tickets for all 3...should be a nice 3 dayer...

SweetJesus Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Anyone know what’s the payment system? Cashless or cash? Is it possible to pay with maestro/master card? Website is awful, very little useful informations, and of course, everything on italian language 😡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dales Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 I went a few years ago and they had a token system back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetJesus Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 @charlierc how is it works? For example, I have a tokens for 30€ and then I want to buy a beer. If I’m paying with more tokens than beer cost, will they give me a exchange or what? I really can’t remember when was the last time I was using token system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can’t remember when was the last time I was using token system I'm a little rusty as this was 4 years ago but I recall there was an on-site tent to exchange Euros for tokens. They were a plastic line where the tokens being used were snapped off. I vaguely recall that I had 10 Euro of tokens but kept roughly 2 as I didn't spend all of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dales Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 I went in 2019 and you could buy sheets of plastic tokens branded with Firenze Rocks. You coud also buy single tokens. I cant remember the actual value of a token. It might have been 3 Euro per token. Tokens could be snapped in half i.e worth half the stated value. Pretty much everything was priced with tokens in mind i.e 2 tokens or 1 and half etc. There was a little supermarket on site that took cash, cards. it sold snacks, cakes, ice cream, soft drinks etc. The merchandise stand took cash/cards. I struggled to find any info back in 2019, so you might need to do some digging to find what the system is this year. I think I had one and half tokens left at the end and kept them as a sourvenir. I assume you could change left overs back in to cash but maybe not. From memory most of the supports get to play long sets, making it great if you are afan of the undercard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
