If that doesn't appeal there are other places on the square. Just taken a look and this looks perfect, cheers. Might be worse for wear by the time we get to Hasselt. Are you getting there on Thursday night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echiham Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hello I'm thinking about going to PP for the first time and I have some questions hopefully someone can help! My first question is, is it possible to use IDEAL as a payment method on the festival grounds to buy tokens and such? so like a dutch bank card. Second question. What's the easiest way to get there coming from the Netherlands? Does the festival ticket work the same as Rock Werchter's where I wouldn't have to pay to use the train within Belgium?

Not sure about the card, best emailing info@pukkelpop.be As for the train, yes a return train ticket is included with your festival ticket. A week to go!

You can use your normal bankcard from the Netherlands. I use my card from the Rabobank. I used to ga by train, but now I'm going by car. From Arnhem the journey is two hours longer bij train, but it's a pleasant journey where you already meet people who are also going to Pukkelpop.

Stef_P82 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Is it me, or is the map of the festival grounds not out yet? Would love to see how they arrange everything this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe today along with the last names Castello and Club will take each other's position, Boiler and Dance Hall will be opposite of each other. I have'nt heard anything about the Cook Pit, so this will disappear I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ale Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 I finally make up my mind and i decided to go if tickets won't sell out in these days I will spent 20 hours on flixbus from milan because flights are too expensive (only from milan to bruxelles, not from bruxelles to milan) but these are what my twenties are made for i guess A little worried for the weather, but i see that yes there is rain but only light rain i hope there won't be thunderstorms or pouring rain 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a little difficult but surely cheap and you avoid all the buses/trains etc. I went in 2013 with a van and it was about 13 hours (from Milan less than 10). By plane it have would be about 2 hours to the airport, 1,5 hours to Bruxelles/Charleroi and then other 2 hours to Hasselt + a couple of hours waiting in airport/train station = at least 7 hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, actually i m already changing my idea even because i would be alone this time, plus 200 euros for this line up seem a bit much, with 150 at nos last year you could have seen a much better line up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semprini Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Saturday tickets now all sold out and Sunday not too far off either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death By Sexy Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) - Sunday and combi will probably sell out next week - "Putting a decent program together is difficult. There are the youngsters, who is our target audience number one, but also an older generation who already visits the festival for years. This year we have tried to appease the older generation more. We haven't booked the very big names, but the headliners are PKP-worthy." - Billie Eilish was already booked in September. https://www.tvl.be/nieuws/pukkelpop-voor-het-eerst-in-jaren-uitverkocht-82751 EDIT: Chokri mentioned the ticket sales are the best in years. But wasn't it sold out in 2017? Edited August 7, 2019 by Death By Sexy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bit about appeasing the older generation bodes well for future editions if it's been the best year for ticket sales for a while. I've always maintained that the youngsters will go regardless, it's the oldies whose choice to go or not is more dependent on the line up and they're the ones who spend the most and drink the most beer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semprini Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Tried to zoom in on the map on phone and laptop but the picture goes all blurry. Few observations: Booth is in a slightly different place and there looks to be some kind of dance and/or chill out area next to the Boiler. Think we knew this anyway but there's a video screen outside the Dance Hall (as well as the Marquee). Can't make out what it is in the bottom left hand corner of the site where the cook pit was? I know it's not to scale but Marquee looks bigger than than last year which is good - wonder what all those bits coming off it are? Don't think they're ropes or anything that helps to secure it? Looks to be podiums of some sort outside the Boiler. Wonder why the Club is a different colour to the rest? Pretty sure I've seen some pictures from the site and the Lift is the same black tent as last year but it's white on the map? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
