Prices & booking
The prices of the Sziget Express tickets differ per comfort level: seat (€190), economy couchettes (€220) and comfort couchettes (€240). Sziget Express tickets are available at the Sziget Festival page.
The most eco-friendly way to travel
* The difference of 88% is calculated in an advisory module from Milieu Centraal, an independent organization of Rijkswaterstaat that provides practical information about the environment. Based on a distance of 1.364 kilometers and 950 people, Milieu Centraal indicates that the emissions per person by train are 71kg CO2, while aircraft uses 612 kg CO2.
Moving-In Tickets and Sziget Warm-Up Party
Becasue the Sziget Express already arrives in Budapest on Tuesday, August 6, we have the Moving-In Ticket (€25,-) available again. When purchasing this next to a 7-Day Pass, you you’ll have access to the festival grounds from August 6. This might also help with claiming your favorite camping spot! We also organize the Sziget Warm-Up Party on the day of arrival. More about this later.
