Breaking News: Passes Are Sold Out For Sziget Festival Budapest
- 7 Aug 2014 12:42 PM
As of 4th August, only day tickets are available for Sziget Festival that kicks off on 11th August. This is the first time in the festival history, that passes are no longer available in advance one week before the event. However, organizers have allocated 1000 more passes for those who are late-deciders that will be available at the entrance. Organizers kindly ask everyone to only buy tickets from the official retailers and avoid street vendors or internet advertisements as most of these tickets are fake.
One week before the start of the event and for the first time in the history of Sziget organizers announced that all passes are sold out. Károly Gerendai, founder and main organizer, said that the increasing interest was seen throughout the year and he believes that “it is because of the good line-up and the success of the services introduced couple of years ago.”
More visitors are coming from Hungary and from all over Europe as well. He thinks that the latter can be thanked to the fact that Budapest is becoming a trendier city in the last couple of years.
Gerendai has also added: “We have limited the number of passes in 45.000 and the day tickets have a limit as well, 25.000 daily.
All together with the VIP visitors, contributors and staff the infrastructure of the festival can allocate 85.000 people comfortably.” He expects that the final number of the total visitors can be more than 400.000 this year.
Sziget is everything a festival can offer during 7 days: huge stars on the main stages, art, fun and tons of activities all over the island. During the day Szitizens can chill at the Sziget Beach, create their own souvenirs at one of the art venues, or just take some time to have some adventures in the city of Budapest! The party already starts in the early afternoon and lasts till the sun comes up again!
Those who already have their tickets in their pockets can start to prepare for the big trip, their festival holiday experience. Sziget does its best to support Szitizens with those services they might need during this week. They can purchase a Sziget Camping set to avoid luggage fees and to travel easy, get a specially designed pass with which Szitizens can explore Budapest, buy a Safe&Fun insurance covering everything a festival-goer needs while traveling abroad.
Moreover, several parking options are available, so visitors can leave their vehicles at a safe place, without worrying about parking in a capital and special Festfone is also available, so visitors can talk to each other for free without any roaming fees.
Only 7 days left to until the festival!
