IMPORTANT IMFORMATION CONCERNING WRISTBANDS

- Half-price Night Tickets cannot be purchased in advance or in the case of all day tickets selling out, which means that on a "full-house" day you cannot buy these tickets.

- You cannot sleep in the area of Sziget and you cannot stay in a camping tent or a caravan.

If you sleep on the island with the reduced priced non-camping ticket, you take notice of and accept the fact that you must pay the difference between the non-camping and the camping ticket to the controllers, otherwise you will lose your non-camping ticket and you cannot raise any demands towards the organizers or the security staff.

Caravan Camping Ticket

We have designated an area on the festival grounds (marked on the map) for Caravan Camping where festival goers arriving in mobile homes or caravans can camp. Mobile homes constitute vehicles with fixed beds, therefore station wagons with folded down back seats or microbuses with laid down mattress do not entitle you to use the Caravan Camping. To enter the Caravan Camping site the vehicle must have a Caravan Camping ticket, which entitles you to one entry between 10^th and 17^th August. If you leave the festival site during the event, you will not be able to come back into the camping area with the ticket. In order to use Caravan Camping each person in the mobile home / caravan must have a Camping Ticket.

VIP Camping Ticket

This year, the wide range of Sziget services is augmented with the so-called VIP Camping. Although the camping facilities of Sziget have already been regarded as top quality on an international level, we have decided to develop a new area grouping the services on the usual standard, in order to create a better-than-good VIP Camping. Naturally, we have done so without decreasing the number and standard of facilities available to everyone.

Thus, we are creating a protected area where a checkroom, a safe deposit, a cellphone charger, internet, Wi-Fi, a grocery store, a snack bar with a roofed terrace and a launderette can be found; all these with permanent supervision, cleaning and information service. The VIP Camping is being built right next to the open air swimming pool on Sziget, therefore the campers can pass the time bathing and drinking cocktails by the pool.

It has to be mentioned that although in previous years the pool was available for the whole of the Sziget audience, the authorities banned its use from the public at large in 2008. This year we are able to maintain the pool in a limited way, therefore only the residents of the VIP Camping will be allowed to use it. Only those with a VIP Camping Ticket and a Camping Ticket will be permitted to reside in the VIP Camping. 

In case your entry ticket / armband is no longer valid, but you would like to stay, you can buy another wristband on the area of Sziget, in the town center or from the armband controllers. If your wristband is invalid and you do not buy another one, you are obliged to leave the area of Sziget.

Tickets / wristbands are non-transferable and non-refundable! A wristband counts as a valid entry pass only if it is worn on the wrist. WRISTBANDS that are DAMAGED (glued, cut, with a patent undone, broader than the hand) are INVALID. Ticket forgers and those participating in forging will be prosecuted. Damaged and lost wristbands cannot be replaced.

Visitors aged under 14 can only enter the event with adult guidance (children aged under 10 can enter free of charge).

For the sake of your own safety, bodysurfing (when crowd members send fans oveir their heads towards the stage) is forbidden on Sziget. In case it still happens to you, the security staff will lead you out to the edge of the given site. If it occurs again, you will have to leave the area of Sziget!

Driving into the site of Sziget is not permitted! To approach the event we would like to ask you to use public transport, the special buses, ferries, rickshaws or taxi services. 

WHAT CANNOT BE BROUGHT IN WITH YOU?

Glass objects, striking and cutting devices, umbrellas or any other objects endangering others’ physical health are FORBIDDEN to be brought in to the area of Sziget. According to valid laws, you are not allowed to carry objects specifically endangering public safety (knives with a blade longer than 8 cm, switch knives, gas sprays, black jacks etc.), it is qualified as an offence.

IMPORTANT: Drinks (alcoholic as well as non-alcoholic) must not be brought into the area of the festival in commercial quantities. Products of such nature must be handed to the security service at the entrance in custody. On leaving, these will be given back if required. 

BRINGING IN DOGS

It's not recommended to bring dogs to the event! We kindly request you to leave your dog at home or use the services of one of the dog kennels in the nearby vicinity. Here are contacts to a few local kennels.

But if it's really necessary to bring pets, owners can only do so if they adhere to the following requirements:
- provide valid inoculation certificates with an anti-rabies jab not older than a year,
- identification (readable tattoo or microchip),
- use a leash, muzzle, dog-collar and a pendant with the owner's phone number (on which he or she can be reached during the festival).

The above mentioned things will be checked at the entrance, and should any of them be lacking, the pet will not be allowed in.

By bringing the dog into the festival, the owner acknowledges that in accordance with the regulations of the authorities the dog must be held on a leash with a muzzle throughout the whole duration of the festival. If the dog is involved in an incident, all financial and criminal responsibility is placed on the owner.

All costs related to the looking after of a lost dog will be charged to the owner.

Lost pets, which were not collected by their owners eight hours after being found, will be taken to an animal sanctuary by the animal health authority.

Other animals can be brought into the festival at the owners' responsibility, meeting the regulations of the authorities.

Regarding lost and found or stray dogs, please contact the Information Base, so that we can take steps. In the case of being bitten by a dog, after registering at the Health Care Base, please pass the information on to the relevant place.
