EXIT 08

[JohnnyFox]

so why are people opting not to camp?

Me and some friends might be going this year and any info or tips would be cool

[hostmat]

would be very happy if this was true. Any rumours of who might be playing the dance stage?

there are rumours that carl cox is coming again...maybe it will be like 2 years ago, carl cox and friends all night long...

[Zextra]

i heard last year that they never invite the same dj/act twice so anyone who has played before will never play again. Hope this isnt the case because carl cox would be quality

Not quite true, Eric Prydz has played two years in a row, 2006 and 2007....

[JohnnyFox]

Prydz didin't play in '06, He was booked then canceled and played in 07. I

I wish I could go, stupid placement is ruining everything for me this year, I can't really go to Novi Sad and come straight home, it'd be kind of rude not to see the family over there.

Paul Weller has also been confirmed according to e-fests.

Can't believe people are actually stupid enough to camp in Serbia, it gets way too hot over there, I think last year Belgrade was in the 50s for a good portion of the summer. Novi Sad I believe is cooler but being in a huge crowd with such temperatures can't be too good of a thing.

How many British people went last year? I heard it was between 25,000-30,000. I'm sure it's doing wonders for the Serbian economy, they should host more festivals ;-)

[listerslips]

Yeah James Zabiela would be class. Rocked the fortress in 06, he and Hernan Cattaneo played at green beat in belgrade last august. Unreal gig. Those 2 would be good. Would love if Massive attack played, they played back in 05. But they have a new album out in the summer so it may be possible.

Why should people stay in Belgrade? Festival is in Novi Sad so it is absolutely normal to find propriate accomm in Novi Sad. Kamp is quite good, if you are looking for something luxury try to get hotel.

25,000-30,000 Brits? Where did you get this for God sake?

[listerslips]

If "normal" is paying €120 for a room that is normally €40 then I might not be going next year!

I appreciate the people of Novi Sad want to make money out of Exit Festival, but to literally quadruple the cost of rooms there is a joke

I really don't want to camp, but I can't afford to pay €100 a night for a hotel room that is not worth anywhere near that kind of money, and I HATE being ripped off!

[Miss_Boo]

it isnt as cheap as it could be. for a 4 person apartment in town we paid 700euros (£520). £130 each for 6 nights isnt too bad, cant blame the locals for setting high prices, it is a bit of a risk renting your apartment out to festival goers, especially brits, with the bad reputation that we sadly have

Fair enough people's homes... they want to make sure they earn enough from it that it's worth their while to let some toe-rags live in their home for 5 days!

It's the hotels that annoy me, they have one rate for 360days of the year, and a totally extortionate rate for the 5 days for Exit.

[Miss_Boo]

every hotel would do it, its simple logic - people want rooms - they have rooms - charge a higher price that people will pay = profit

[JohnnyFox]

Oh yeah I know why they do it, I just don't like it

[Miss_Boo]

It's so annoying. Hotel parks regualar price is €110 for a 2 bed room. For exit 06 they bumped it up to €130 per room. This year its €180!

[JohnnyFox]

That's nothing compared to some of the quotes I've got. Online it says a double room is €40 - when I've emailed to enquire they've replied saying that for the Exit period rooms are €120!!!

And the most annoying thing is, if these were really nice hotels I wouldn't mind paying over the odds for them, but a lot of them are not very attractive, if I'm paying £90 a night for a hotel, it wants to be half decent at least!

[Miss_Boo]

That is outragous. Your better off renting an apartment. That's what we will be doing this year.
