kaisherz Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Im thinking of going to sziget next summer, could anyone tell me roughly how much it would cost for the week there. Flying from Scotland... Did Benicassim last summer and going again this year. For the week that turned out at about £500-600 all in. Wondering if sziget is in a similar price range? Anyone whos possibly been to both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEOH35 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Leo, You're looking around £250 for a return flight Monday - Monday. If you're planning on an apartment stay for a week, its gonna be about £250 for a little one, but some amazing places. You could easily live off £200 spending, and probably live like a king! Its alot cheaper than Beni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEOH35 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Correct. The Tuesday is pretty much just a headliner on the main stage if I remember right, but im sure theres other things going on around the site. 2011 was Prince for instance. Then a fuller bill on Wednesday, going into petty much a full bill Thursday. Either way, its ridiculous what you get for your money. And don't get me started on how insane the sound setups are compared to this country!! Base your spendage on £1.50 per pint and £3 per meal. Eassssy!

TheLostProphet Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Booked my ticket in January, booked my flights and a hostel on the Sunday - a hotel Tuesday and Wednesday. Did the Friday last year, can't wait this year. Going on my own though, so could be an adventure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edfirth Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Can't seem to find this on the main page but it's linked on www.szigetnews.com. Times for all bands so far. Refreshing lack of clashes for me, but there appear to be less bands than in previous years to be announced. Hoping there's quality over quantity Wednesday 16.00- The Joy Formidable then probably the band on after them unless it's someone awful 18.00- Everything Everything 19.30- maybe the start of Chase & Status 19.50- Flogging Molly (girlfriend likes them) 21.30- The headliner, whoever it is. Hope they're good. If it's Iron Maiden (nothing against them, but not my thing) I may have to go and see Chris Liebing 23.30- Bat for Lashes, due to the lack of an alternative 01.00- Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs I'd say that day was OK. I'd say it was good if they announced a quality headliner Thursday Unless the band announced in the Arena at 17.00 is good I'll probably stay in Budapest until... 19.30- Nero 21.30- Biffy Clyro This day is really weak imho. I'd have liked to have seen Pannonia Allstars Ska Orchestra. I might watch a couple of others depending on what my group want to do Friday 16.00- Mystery Jets (another girlfriend choice) Then either the Main Stage band or Arena band on at 17.00 18.00- Dry the River 19.30- Booka Shade 21.30- Blur 23.30- Woodkid A much better day for me. It will be spot on if there's a good band in that 17.00 slot Saturday Is still very empty and there's a lot to announce. Provisionally I'm likely to see: 17.45- Editors 22.00- John Digweed (if the Main Stage headliner isn't up to scratch) 23.30- Parov Stelar This day is completely reliant on the announcements for me Sunday Again, there's a lot TBA on the Arena stage, but depending on those announcements I'll see: 17.45- The Gaslight Anthem 19.30- Empire of the Sun (if it's plausible to watch the beginning of their set and then get to A38 quickly?) 19.50- Tame Impala 21.30- Kabatronics 22.00- Boys Noize 23.00- Erol Alkan 00.00- Felix Cartal A good day for me https://www.sziget.hu/fesztival/programok/-/days?day=2013-08-11&stages[]=2016&stages[]=2020&stages[]=2017&stages[]=2018 The rumours appear to suggest that Kasabian and Iron Maiden are headlining. Not good for me at all :-( Edited May 21, 2013 by edfirth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
