And as if that were not enough beach and bathing facilities are also provided, along with entry for individual events, not forgetting the chance to quench your thirst in the private beer tent while you follow events closely on LCD TV screens. A free entry poker tournament will also be staged for 120 entrants with professional organisers at professional tables with valuable winnings at stake.

Prices for combined tickets are HUF 13 800, which also include free camping facilities.

This, of course, is your big chance to bring all your friends with you too, since while you are hard at play they can surely find a pleasant spot on the beach to top up their suntans. Spectator tickets start from HUF 4 000 but of course combined spectator tickets are also available.
