Anybody also disappointed from lacking any good names in EDM? In previous years Party Arena was packed with great names and now every day is themed into different genres.

Do you consider it better like this?

yeah I was thinking the same. last year with Ofenbach, Alan Walker, Steve Aoki, Elrow, and more. this year does seem a bit disappointing. still excited for Tale of Us and Vintage Culture, though

So Taylor Swift is doing shows in Vienna on 8-9-10 August 2024. No further gigs until 15th August (London).

Bold prediction #1: A huge announcement before Billie Eilish at the main stage that she's going to be the marquee signing for 2024.

Bold prediction #2: It's confirmed that Paramore will be her support, Vienna is the last date of the tour. Even if Sziget can't afford Taylor Swift or if she's determined not to do any festivals while in Europe, Paramore could be available for next year's line up.

I doubt that they'll bring Taylor, but Paramore would be a great fit

hey guys!

it’s my first time at Sziget so please help me out. we are coming by car and we’re staying at Ó utca (hope that’s the name of the street..I’ll attach a photo anyways). I read somewhere that u can only park for 3hours on weekdays, is that true? Anyways, even if that’s not true, does anyone know a cheaper alternative? It doesnt matter if it’s not that close to where we are staying (would be nice tho), as we won’t be using the car at all.

Thanks a lot!!

Yes, as far as I know it's kinda true. I think you're allowed to stay more but you have to pay every 3 hours.

I think a better option for you would be to search on Waze for some paid parking garages. Most of them have offers if you park there for more days. You can leave your car there and take a metro or something to get to your place.

Yes the parking expires every 3 hours and every single time you manually have to extend it. 
 

If you are NOT using the car, the simple solution is to leave it outside of the parking zone. 
 

outside of these parking zones that you can see here, you can park for free the whole time on the streets and just take a taxi. 
 

Parking for a week in the inner city would not only be a nightmare but extremely expensive.

Looks like this year is going to be packed!

Was waiting with my friends to buy last minute tickets on Ticketswap as last year it was super cheap, but not going to happen this year as tickets get sold with instant speed.

Anybody selling ticket or know any alternative to TicketSwap? 🙂

Does anyone know, how many week tickets they sold for 2023?

 

I don't think there's any available info on this, but their 2022 sponsor evaluation stated that 57% of people came with daily tickets, 25% with 6-day tickets and 11% with 3-day tickets. Rest are student and VIP tickets. If I remember correctly, daily capacity of the festival was around 95 000 (?). That means there's roughly 23 750 weekend tickets available. How many of them are sold, no idea.

Beer is almost certainly 2000 huf, but nothing's been confirmed yet. We'll know more today or tomorrow.

Someone who I'm pretty sure is associated with the festival stated on another forum earlier today that beer was 'around' 1600 Huf.

From reddit group, user "Nowada" 

 

 

I was expecting a lot more so I'm very happy with 1690 for a beer!

Shots and stuff like that murder me anyway, so I'm just ignoring that, daylight robbery.

Edit: what do you guys think about these prices? Is it still an okay deal to travel that far for Wetherspoon prices at a festival?

Yeah, our group has mostly sticked to wine spritz past few festivals. You're f**ked very quickly, it's cheap, and you'll keep yourself hydrated. Can't go wrong with this combo! 

And let me be controversial for a sec... They taste much better than beer 😄

    • 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.
