Sziget Festival Budapest Organisers Eye Record Attendance
- 4 Jul 2014 9:01 AM
The Sziget Festival has a good chance of bringing past years’ downward trends to a halt and setting new attendance records, the head of the company running the event told Thursday’s business daily Világgazdaság. Organisers have already sold more weekly passes for this year’s festival than during the whole of last year’s event, Karoly Gerendai said.
Business has shot up in Britain, Germany, France and Italy, showing a 100 percent increase, he said. Hungarian ticket sales are showing signs of a similar surge, and the event is likely to break previous attendance records if day tickets also sell well, he said.
Last year Sziget only managed to attract 362,000 visitors, the lowest attendance figure over the last decade.
