Boy: "Most people decided to come to the festival in April-May, and by then there wasn’t any available accomodation".
Lia Buzatu, guesthouse manager: "We have bookings, most of which are from November and December".
In the festival's designated camping area, over 250 tents are available for rent. However, you can also bring your own tent.
Adrian Mareș, camping coordinator: "They have showers, a recreational area, a volleyball court, a permanent food truck where they can have breakfast, and a bar".
But even here, there are no more spots. Those who brought their own tent paid a camping pass costing 375 lei. Those who wanted a ready-made tent had to add another 600 lei.
Boy: "It's much more convenient, we are close to the festival".
Girl: "We arrived on Tuesday from Timișoara. When I saw the camping pass, it seemed very interesting, so I thought, let's do it, an experience with my boyfriend".
Those who couldn't find accommodation in Costinești will go to the festival by bus. Over 120 buses and coaches have been provided for festival-goers.
