For the comfort of participants, organizers set up a tent campsite, which is situated next to the festival area. Space on this campsite is not included in the price of the ticket. There is an additional fee - 20PLN. In the festival's field, a coupon system is in force - 1 coupon costs 3 PLN and participants are able to purchase them in exchange points and spend coupons in merchandising areas. Attendees are not allowed to carry in sharp items, professional video recording cameras, digital cameras with more than 3.2 mln px, alcohol, or drugs.
