SO WHY IS IT? DID YOU KNOW THAT…

• Tents left on the island generate around 7000 kg of plastic waste, polluting the island.
• Tents are typically made from non-recyclable plastic materials and when burnt they emit components into the atmosphere which contribute to acid rain.
• One tent is equivalent to about 8,750 plastic straws.
• Last year we distributed 356 tents to charities, but collecting the tents left behind takes up a lot of time and energy.

With your help, we are protecting the island from plastic pollution and by using your tent for many years, you contribute to the reduction of single use plastics and to a more circular world. Let’s work together to leave our campgrounds beautiful and green!

Since 2025, Hungary has significantly tightened its drug laws. Possession, use, and sale of drugs — regardless of type or quantity — are all criminal offenses. The law makes no distinction between so-called ‘soft’ or ‘hard’ drugs, and penalties can be severe, including imprisonment. The country applies a zero-tolerance policy to everyone on its territory, including international visitors.

Hungarian police actively enforce these laws. If you are found in possession of illegal substances, you risk arrest, prosecution under Hungarian law, and serious legal consequences. There is no warning system or exception for tourists.

We strongly advise all visitors: do not bring or use drugs in Hungary. Avoid putting yourself and others at risk, and help us keep the festival safe and enjoyable for everyone.

We pay special attention to the safety of visitors.

At the entrances, a ‘check-in’ system helps to recognize if not the authorized user wants to enter with the issued wristband. Safe entertainment is provided by security and medical staff, and we work with the police and the Counter-Terrorism Centre.

Before leaving, you should review the list of items that can and cannot be brought to the festival. At the security check at the entrance, objects that cannot be brought in will be filtered out for your safety.
Be sure that you have a photo ID with you while entering, you will need this to receive your wristband.

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.

If you 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.

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 question, ask The Customer Service at the Welfare Zone. They will surely know the solution. Feel free to ask them!

If you overdone your partying, losing your energy and feeling sick, look for the Party Service next to the BOLT Night Stage. Here, a trained staff will help you with hydration, vitamins, supervised rest and first aid, if necessary.

Check out our Medical Guide for more useful information about the medical service of the Sziget Medical Center and the collaborating hospitals, and the Hungarian healthcare and insurance policies for EU and non-EU citizens.

You can be a lucky one and appear on some of these indestructible documentations, but we will only use your name if you sign an agreement on. However, please note that you may not have any claims for appearing on these materials (more information in the Policy).

During Sziget the weather is generally great! Meaning: usually sunny and it can be really hot as well! Check the weather forecast before leaving for Budapest, but bring sunscreen, bathing suit and anything you would take for a hot summer holiday. In addition make sure you have a raincoat, just in case. Please note that the event will be held in case of bad weather as well, but hope for the best 🙂 In case of extreme weather, please pay attention to our official information platforms, where we will inform you about possible program changes or, in the last resort, the suspension of programs.

In addition to service dogs as defined by law, guide dogs and police dogs, only pets generally considered to be tame and posing no hazard to the life, safety and health of Visitors and others may be brought to festival. It’s free of charge, when on a leash and accompanied by their owner. However,we suggest to leave them at home. If you still want to bring it, please prepare to the following conditions:

• the pet possesses a valid certificate of vaccination attesting to rabies vaccinations in the last year,
• the pet is identifiable through a unique identifier (visible tattoo or microchip),
• the pet is to wear a leash, collar, muzzle and a tag with the owner’s telephone number, with the owner reachable on that number during the event.

The amount charged to the payment chip on site (at a top-up point or a vending machine) can only be used during the duration of Sziget 2025, in the commercial units operating at the event venues. In the case of purchasing multiple day tickets, you will receive a different, new wristband and a payment chip for each day ticket. If your wristband for the first day you top up money, you can use it for the entire duration of the festival. The validity of the payment chip is: August 12, 2025, 12:00 p.m.

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.

You can read more information in the Festipay User Guide.

If you want to top-up money to your wristband before the festival, you can do it very simply in a few steps. Register/sign in to your Festival Account first. After logging in, by clicking on the ‘Topup’ button next to ‘Home’, the site will offer two options.

1. After selecting the ‘I have a ticket’ option, you will need the ID under the QR or barcode on your ticket. After that, you click on ‘Submit’, and you have to choose ‘Topup ticket’ from the buttons. You can choose the amount of the top-up, and you can also enter a unique amount. The top-up fee is HUF 700 in all cases.
   When choosing the payment method, you should use card registration payment, because in this case you do not have to enter your data again later. If you choose the option without card registration, you have to enter your card details every time you want to top-up money.
2. The ‘I have a wristband’ option is useful in the following two cases: you are not entered at the festival area yet, but you have already redeemed your ticket for a wristband, or you are already inside the festival area, but you want to comfortably and online load money into your wristband.
   This option requires the wristband number and the PIN code. The PIN code is the last 4 characters of the ID below the QR code or barcode of your ticket. After the ‘Add wristband’ step, you have to click on the wristband itself. From there, the top-up process is the same as for the first option.
   You can easily check your payments and refund information at any time!

Your PIN code is the code you have to use to verify your wristband. You will get this code at the entrance on a receipt. Or you can use the last 4 characters of your ticket ID as your PIN. If you don’t have any of these, just visit any ticket or Festipay helpdesk so we can help you!

You can block a damaged or lost wristband and the corresponding balance on site at the Helpdesks with your PIN code if you have previously registered it in your Festival Account.

You can easily transfer your tickets to another Festival Account holder in your Festival Account: just go to the “My tickets and wristbands” menu and click “Select tickets to send to a friend”. Select the transferable ticket(s) and add the name and email address of your friend. The recipient will get an automatic email with some instructions. Until the tickets are not accepted by your friend as per the instructions, you can still change your mind and cancel the transfer. This is the safest way to manage your tickets: for example, if you bought several tickets, this function is the best way to distribute them among your friends. In case you can’t find your ticket, log out of your account and log in again.

If you want to safely sell your tickets, we recommend to use the 100% safe Ticketswap.

Generally speaking, we have a no-refund/ticket change policy. Check here our GTC for further information.

Not able to join the event? You can easily change your ticket in your Festival Account after registration! It is important that a ticket can only be exchanged for another ticket of the same price, and every exchange includes a swap fee (€26 or 10,000 HUF) – all steps are listed here to do so. Alternatively, you can safely sell your ticket via our official resale partner, Ticketswap.

As our ticket vouchers are not personalized feel free to give the spare ticket to one of your friends or sell them (in this case we suggest using the safest option, Ticketswap).
