birchtree29 Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 15 hours ago, swelsbyuk said: I hadn't noticed that M83 had moved. That's really interesting. I wonder what the thinking behind that was? I genuinely wonder if the M&S day tickets are selling so poorly that they decided to move M83 forward to try and attract local fans as day visitors who wouldn't come if they were playing at 12.30am (work the next day) but might come down if they're on earlier? I am just guessing. M83 has a very tight schedule that weekend with Fest Festival in Poland on Friday, Grape Festival in Slovakia on Saturday, and Sziget on Sunday. Maybe their logistics team needed to have it before midnight so that they will arrange their schedule to be in France on Monday-Wednesday for some other events and get ready for La Route de Rock on Thursday and Pukkelpop and Lowlands on next weekend. https://ilovem83.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt86 Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 seems like there's no "color party" or "glowsticks parry", or any party at all .. 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swelsbyuk Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 One of the things the passport states is: Permitted items - food (non-commercial quantities) and soft drinks (in a max 2.5 liter PET bottle). Is this new? I have never realised you could take your own food in! I assume the soft drink container needs to be sealed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The food thing is not new, last 4 times I went to Sziget I would buy food at Lidl before entering or just make something for myself at home and bring it with me. And the drink container doesn't need to be sealed. One time I had a plastic bottle which was half empty and the policewoman gave me a weird look and gave me my bottle back. I assume she thought that I had alcohol in it but she didn't care to check it 🤷♂️. But if you have a bottle that's open with you they will most probably open it and check it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristofm Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Paying 1000 huf for a beer at a local festival called Campus. 2000 huf at Sziget feels like a robbery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReljaGajić Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 I have a question regarding buying tickets over ticketswap. I know it the official festival partner... but how safe it is? Did anyone have any experience with buying tickets from there? How does it work? Did it happen that someone got scamed or that they weren't let in at the festival? Any advice is welcomed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It generates a new barcode/qr code for the existing ticket and voids the previous one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I bought a ticket which turned out to be fake/sold multiple times and they immediately called me and refunded the ticket. They cooperate with festivals and promoters and each ticket should be checked and get a new barcode/QR code. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activean Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Do we know if there will be any production changes/upgrades? They advertise the Colosseum as "Your favourite venue just got bigger, better and bolder", but they could talk about the lineup. At least decorations are coming back.

But 99% others events don’t have “SecureSwap ticket” option (screenshot below). This year happened on Graspop that many people bought tickets on ticketswap and when they came to the festival, they had fake tickets or someone used it before them.

swelsbyuk Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) Two weeks to go. Who are your top five "do not miss" acts of 2023? Mine are, in no particular order: 1. Foals 2. Sam Fender 3. Confidence Man 4. Nothing But Thieves 5. Lorde I feel that might be a bit 'vanilla' so hope others can recommend acts I'm not au fait with.

lukatej Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 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?
