I would also recommend going into town one night before or after who you want to see and take In the ruins pubs. 

And I am not gonna go out during the festival since I am planning to spend my time at the festival from 12 or 13 until 5 in the morning next day, because my schedule is overbooked and there is a lot of bands I wanna hear + performing acts that I wanna see (circus, dance performances,..)

I am arriving 2 days before the festival and staying in the city 2 days after the festival, to explore the city (again) and go out with friends, visit museums,... 🙃

They didn't add the drinks & food prices for this year, interesting.

I might be wrong but I think 2017 was the last passport to show drinks prices.

Do we think the “nature reserve” area means it is unavailable for basic camping?

Even more, my friends plan to camp using only basic camping and they're really nervous about that area marked as "free camping" could be the only place to camp without additional upgrades.

Yeah same! Seems like not as much space as previous years for Basic

If that will be the case, this is the end of Sziget as I knew and loved. 

Since 2014 not a year has passed without them restricting the boundaries of the actual freedom on the island or putting a price tag on an experience or increasing the price without improving a real improvement of the offer.

The first time I came a 7 days ticket was 169 €. I paid more for a 3 days ticket in a 6 day festival this year, I could camp wherever I would (as the private camping were small and actually optional), I could go front to back on a stage without any major infrastructure barrier obstructing my way, I could listen to music of ANY kind (world stage i.e.), etc. etc. etc.

The concept seems to have strayed too much from its origin and the jism I get out of it so far is just the one of a Coachella with a touch of eastern Europe extravaganza. I hate Coachella.

Are we supposed to be able to do something with the passport?

You have all the basic info for every zone, map, timetable and the chekpoints where you are supposed to get stamps and when you collect them all you get a small gift 🌞

[ReljaGajić]

What happened with themed parties at the main stage? The only one I can see is a fucking sponsored Disney+ fan party smh 😒

In previous years we had a glowstick party, flag party, color party and all others, I am really disspointed 😶

Being stupid

[iamdebrii]

Does anyone have any idea what kind of food there'll be?

[Qishere]

Does anyone know if there is another entrance for vip tickets? So you don’t have to wait to get to the festival.
 
I also think sziget is much smaller than previous editions. It’s more like 2014 and before. 

 

[swelsbyuk]

So, Freedome will definitely not have an act on while Dua Lipa is on the main stage. Struggling to understand that.

They didn't have them in 2019 if memory serves me right.

Free camping is in a great position, wish chill camping was there.

They did actually, I was there in 2019, only on the last day there wasn't anything... the other days were banner/climate chnage party, rainbow party, glowstick party, friendship party (with friendship bracelets) and flag party 😕

Oh right. 

Must be the colour party they got rid of in 2019.

Yup... but now... they got rid off all themed parties 😶

[Dutchfestivaladdict]

The theme parties are not gone they are just replaced with something else. “Singing together” or something else. Looking at durability and climate change it’s maybe wise to not do a colour party or flag party. Imagine the amount of plastics or chemicals it costs to make those items.

Smaller? Compared it to the other passports of previous years? To me it seems like the exact same looking at size. Why do you wonder it’s smaller?

[Matt86]

For events like "glowsticks party", it happenned during Martin Garrixs' show in 2019, not sure it was mentionned on the passport ( ? ). I still believe this will happen 😉

If the free camping is really that small and the nature reserve is not camping, there are way less places to camp on the island. I might be wrong but also on the southern part of the island i thought it was further away from the mainstage where they had a special camping, now thats a nature reserve.

Btw, dont get it why they mention some stages/bars twice on the list with the map
