Baxxx Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) hey guys, I'm wondering what the "online check in" is? my ticket says: "if you have bought your ticket online, you have to complete the checkin process online. on site we will be checking your ID or passport to verify the checked in date". I searched but can't find that online check in thing. Anyone can help me? Thank you. Edited July 28, 2019 by Baxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can not see them sending out emails now, especially with opening just 7 days away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OllieR Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Hi guys, still can’t find where to top up the wristband on the app? Is it only available to do a few days before or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swelsbyuk Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 I'm actually quite pleased with that move. I wanted to see Maribou State but, as we are coming with kids, they were on a little too late. Now it is more likely. A new act would've been nice though!

You come across such a right misery guts. This is actually not true, I am a fan of Sziget, I just dislike how they carried the festival out this edition, because this is a cheesy management for a festival like Sziget: Broken Social Scene is not a super-cheap act usually, and this year they don't have many shows booked in the festival circuit, so there are reasons to believe that Sziget had the funding to find another band; moreover, in the past years they made last-minute replacements that were more relevant than this one (Clean Bandit - Rita Ora in '17's edition, i.e.): if they wanted they could have make a last-min replacement, because they proved they can. So yeah, I am not happy about this choice; does paying 160 € for two days and having one band I had in the list cut right off with no replacement makes me a misery guts? I don't know, mate, I'm sorry to kill the vibe, but I'm just pointing out a fact (which of course you could not care about), that tags along with the removal of the parties (which was free merchandising and good time), the cut off in the timeslots of some performances, et cetera. I also listed the reasons why I have this consideration, it's not like I'm coming throwing poo on the forum like people used to do to the now-almost-gone SzigetNews: last year I was quite amazed by how they got back from the mess they made in '17 and I found the management in 14-16 years pretty good (few flaws, but who has not). Hope this makes a point in my perspective: I don't like to be the party buster of the forum, but if we are here only to try re-selling tickets or rejoice randomly with no attempt to create a discussion whatsoever, what is the point of the community itself?

uncertain Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 I am disappointed Broken Social Scene are not getting a replacement act. It was one of the bands I was excited for. Still looking forward to see Big Thief (despite their 16:00 slot), Khruangbin and Polo & Pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swelsbyuk Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 I see you can now put money onto your wristband via the app. Before I put a decent amount on there can anyone confirm that the wristband can be used to pay for everything on site? ie food, drink, merchandise etc? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although have to say with a bit more research the a38 is stacked this year, I have 29 artists just in the a38 I want to check out. Which is a big difference to the main stage where its around half that mark. Really strong year if you really do your research, for me that is. ?
