Very expensive indeed, I spent a little more 1000€ total (nearly 600€ for 4 nights in Haarlem including breakfast and bike rental), plus the train from France (but I'm like 15 km from the Belgian border luckily) and the ticket to the festival. But was worth it! Yet I couldn't make more than one festival per year seeing how much prices have skyrocketed (Last year 3 nights at the same hotel and bike rental was roughly half the price, cicra 250/300€).Nice one mate. I didn't go in the end. It was a bit expensive in the end.
Might go for a whole weekender next year, if I'm quick with a place to stay.
Edit: Where did you sleep? It's all so F'in expensive. A little center parks house for a few days, thousand euro ??? I'm not going to pay 1.000 euro for a few nights on a crappy bed, plus the actual ticket and food and transport.... I don't know how you people do it.
Hotels dare to ask 400+ for a night lol.
Likewise! I only ever attended the classics stages @ Luminosity Beach Festivals for the past decade or so.I've visited Trance Energy (NL), Dance Valley (NL), Transmission (CZ) and Luminosity Beach Festival (NL) multiple times and I'll probably visit Luminosity next year. Over the years (at least last decade) I've become very picky about the festivals I visit. Only classic stages interest me, with the crossover Techno - Trance being my favorite (Oliver Lieb, Marco V).
I've paid like $400 for kpop concert tickets, lol ticket prices are fuucked right nowNah it's too expensive. A ticket for Friday and Sunday are both ~70 euro (!!!). This isn't a Madonna concert, jeez.
Some people in Zandvoort offer their room for almost a THOUSAND euros for a night LOLOLOLOL. There's a room on AirBNB in Haarlem for 160 euro, you don't more I guess. Still I'd need a train ticket to Haarlem, aprox ~60 euro. Taxi from and to the event in Zandvoort....
And then I'd have to spent on drinks and food as well.....
I'm saving like 400 euro by not going... That's just too much money for only a few interesting sets.
Well, not exactly a trance event, but a multi-genre festival here which I'm attending like 4th or 5th time this Friday.
Which one?
Haha. We all go through that, it seems to be an age thing……Damn. Last night I said out loud that this is my retirement from festivals. We spent ages waiting, going through the immense crowd and in the end, not really enjoying ourselves.
But by god, a big part of me wants to go tonight.
I guess staying at a smaller stage with people who share a similar taste would've been much better. Prydz was alright, but I don't see a way you can dance and enjoy the music when you're packed like sardines and when it takes ages to order drinks or take a piss.
Yeah, definitely an age thing. My parents would say it's a sign I should get married now.Haha. We all go through that, it seems to be an age thing……
Smaller intimate parties are way better!
