The festival has become truly popular in the Netherlands, where this year 10,000 weekly passes have been sold, Karoly Gerendai said.
The Dutch partner institution has organised a special "party train" catering with DJs for "warming up" those travelling on board to get them into a festival mood by the time they arrive in Budapest, he said.
France came into second place with 5,000 weekly passes sold there, followed by 4,000 in Germany and 3,000 in Italy and Britain each, Gerendai added.
Weekly-pass sales were in the hundreds in neighbouring countries and several of these passes were purchased in as far-flung countries as Argentina, Brazil and New Zealand, Gerendai said.

According to the organisers' survey the unique atmosphere, the diversity of programmes, a high-quality of services and a spirit of community-camping are the incentives that attract most foreigners to the week-long event.
