Foreigners asked about their Sziget experiences were all satisfied with the standard of services, many agreed that the Sziget was a "relatively cheap but well-organised festival and ideal for transport and infrastructure," the correspondent reported.
Organisers said that ticket sales abroad were up by 10 percent to this year's five-day festival ending on Sunday. Most foreigners are French, Dutch, Italian, German and British.
The festival's press chief Viktoria Veto told MTI that this year's advertisement campaign included large-scale promotion in the Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain and Germany, but regular ads were placed in other countries as well.
Foreigners polled on the Sziget all agreed that entry tickets and drinks were cheap in comparison with other festivals in Europe. Some visitors praised the fact that it was easy to leave the island and find transport connections to the city centre, where they could spend some of the day sightseeing. Catering services were up to standards, but food was relatively more expensive on the Sziget, foreign visitors said.
Most foreigners have bought weekly tickets to the festival and camp out on the island. They said hygiene standards were good.
