Before you start, please prepare the following:

Your entry ticket / camping ticket

• Make sure you check in the ticket that you will personally use to enter or camp at the festival.

• Your friend must check in their own ticket using their own Festival Account, meaning that everyone needs to complete the check-in process individually.
• Visitors under the age of 16 cannot create a Festival Account. Check-in for visitors under 16 will be completed by our staff on site.

Mobile phone or a MacBook with a suitable camera

• Open the page on the device you want to use throughout the entire process. A good-quality camera is required to scan your ID document.

ID card

• You will need to scan both sides of your valid ID card using your device’s camera. (If your ID is invalid, the process will fail with an error message.)
• Please bring the same ID document with you to the festival, as we will check it when your ticket is redeemed.

Or passport

• In this case, you only need to scan the photo page of your passport.
• Please bring your passport with you to the festival, as we will check it when your ticket is redeemed.

Got everything ready?

Arriving by car?

Parking places on the island are available in a very limited amount (tickets to the VIP Parking at Parking Terminal here and at Auchan hypermarket and MÖMAX parking lot available here). Local parking spots (outside the island) are also limited and chargeable everywhere in Budapest. Therefore, we suggest choosing an alternative way to arrive.

Skip the hassle and ride like a local with wigo carsharing! Grab a car at Liszt Ferenc International Airport and head straight to wigo’s dedicated parking lot at H Bridge, just a short walk from the main festival entrance. Perfect for heavy bags, extra tens and your whole festival crew. Explore Budapest beyond the festival too: hop in and discover the city on your own terms!

All it takes is one app and quick registration for free with SZIGWT26 promo code!

Rather taking a cab?

Bolt Taxi is the official taxi partner of Sziget and offers fixed Budapest fares. Official taxi ranks are available at the K Bridge entrance and H Bridge. If you request your taxi to drop you off at the H Bridge, you can collect your wristband at the ticket drive located there. After check-in, your taxi can take you directly to the festival entrance inside the H Bridge area.

Download the Bolt app (AppStore or GooglePlay) and you can read more information here. For a safe and reliable journey, always choose an official taxi service, as unofficial taxis may charge significantly higher fares.

If you are transporting the bicycle by HÉV, buy a single ticket for it and be sure to get off at Filatorigat, because this year the H-híd is closed to pedestrian and bicycle traffic. If you are drunk, please do not cycle!

Arriving by caravan/campervan?

Citizens arriving with caravan tickets can exchange their wristbands at the H-bridge. Caravans, cars with rooftop tents and campervans are permitted to enter and stay in Caravan Camping. Station wagons with folded down back-seats or microbuses with laid-down mattresses are not accepted.

The caravan camping ticket entitles you to a single entry.

What can you do with your cup?

If you don’t need it temporary, you can exchange it for a token (0,33 and 0,5 cup for 1 token each, 2 shot cup for 1 token (only unharmed and empty cups) at the bars and if you need a drink, you can exchange the token for a new cup.

If you don’t need it anymore, you can exchange it for HUF 400 at Green Sziget Points (only unharmed and empty 0,33 l or 0,5 l cups, max 5 at the same time). This amount will be credited either to your credit card or your wristband at these locations during opening hours.

Szitizen Care – You’re safe

On the Island of Freedom, everyone can party safely — that’s what our Szitizen Care program is all about! At Sziget our Helper First Aid Team, the National Ambulance Service and The Sziget Medical Center are taking care of your health and medical issues.

ARE YOU IN ANY KIND OF DANGER?
Ask help immediately from the nearest security guard or health team. Security staff, police and medical staff are present for crime prevention and safety purposes – both on and off site. If you see anything suspicious, please, let a member of security know. They’re all there to help to look after you and ensure you have a good time.

NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION?
turn to our medical staff at the Sziget Medical Center. The medical staff will contact the hospital if needed. If you cannot make it to the Sziget Medical Center, look for the nearest Szitizen Care Point, the Helper First Aid patrol, or ask a security guard, volunteer or staff member. They will call for help. If you or someone is badly injured, call 112 and contact us immediately. If you feel like you can’t handle your mental burden, visit our Crisis Point.
The Sziget Medical Center also offers you free storage for your prescribed medicine, and a Hygiene Room for your special medical needs.

NEED STORAGE FOR YOUR MEDICINE?
The Sziget Medical Center also offers you free storage for your prescribed medicine, and a Hygiene Room for your special medical needs. If you have any medical-related questions, ask The Customer Service at the Welfare Zone. They will surely know the solution. Feel free to ask them!

TOO MUCH OF PARTY?
If you overdone your partying, losing your energy and feeling sick, look for the Party Service in the heart of Delta District next to the BOLT Night Stage. Here, a trained staff will help you with hydration, vitamins, supervised rest and first aid, if necessary.

LOST SOMETHING?

Lost something? Swing by the Lost & Found container on-site or report it here on this form. Found something? Drop it off there and help it find its way home – more info in the FAQ. If someone steals from you, go to the Customer Service and ask them to contact authorities.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR BALANCE ON YOUR WRISTBAND?
If you choose on-site topup (either with cash or card) at Festipay Top-up points , you should claim back the remaining balance at the Festipay kiosk/helpdesk until 16 August 12:00.

The remaining balance of the wristband charged on the spot for any day ticket or pass must therefore be redeemed no later than the time specified above, otherwise the balance remaining on it will be lost.
Did you top up your balance through a festival account? In this case, we will automatically transfer it back to you within 30 days, after deducting a refund fee of HUF 700, to the bank card used for the top-up. Please top up your balance from a card that is valid for 60 days after the festival. If your card has expired, lost, or is disabled, the automatic refund is unfortunately not possible unless you contact our customer service separately. In this case, the refund procedure can take up to 90 days.
