1 day away boys😎

Best scenario aka. My plan is to arrive at airport at 1pm, drop my bags and do a check in my apartment at 3pm and arrive at K bridge soon after 4pm. 

Should i expect huge queues at the entrance since it is day 1?

We did almost exactly this timetable in 2019. It was busy but lots of staff around so was sorted with wristbands in less than 10 minutes.

I just got an email from WizzAir saying that my flight tomorrow from Castellón to Budapest changed its destination to Sofia in Bulgaria, and my friend leaving from Bari got the same email. Did anyone get this as well? I really hope it's a glitch 

They can't just change the destination, wtf. 

 

Giant rooks cancelled 😕 Ho replacement announced

Hi, did anyone from here go to Sziget with a camper in the past? I’ve been there twice with a tent but this year my friends and I decided to splurge and get ourselves campers. 
If you’ve been there like this before I’d love to ask you some questions regarding, well, everything.

Friends of mine got scammed on Booking.com and found out today that they don't have an accommodation for the week. Does anyone have a golden tip for them? They are with a group of seven. Of course they can always buy tents and sleep at the festival, but maybe someone knows someone who had to cancel last-minute or something. You never know..

The queues for pre wristbanding at Akwarium in the city are crazy, but the magnificent Budapest gypsy punk band Bohemian Betyars are playing there shortly so enjoy while you are queuing, or just give up queueing for today and join the party!

We walked past at 6pm and couldn't believe the length of the queues. Think we might wait until tomorrow!

We are! We came out at about 2pm & left it, & back this evening & ditching the idea again!

I don’t think there can be many left to get wristbands tomorrow! 

Still we are in the bar for The Betyars sound check & they’ll be on at 8. This is a total bonus! 

They do a lovely cider I. Here too!

Update: Booking.com have solved the problem for them, in a big way. They now stay at a 5-star hotel close to the festival. Classy.

Well... for me it says that it will rain on Saturday and Sunday 🙃 I really hope it won't 

Mine said that last night (BBC) but has changed this morning to sunny intervals for the duration of the festival with an average high of 28 degrees.

Finally going this afternoon. An important question tho: Are you allowed to bring bags to the festival area( if you are not a camping visitor) Can’t see it anywhere on the site? 

Basic camping is included in the festival ticket so everyone is allowed to bring bags into the festival area.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
