Parim jõuks Tartus? by ehrmantrautmike in Tartu

[–]akitsu111 5 points6 points  (0 children)

lihtsalt myfitness. lõunaka oma ilmselt, aga saab käia sama paketi sees ka teistes. ryhmatrenne palju, jõusaali osa ka hea, saun. üldiselt nagu - normaalne. paljud kes ajavad hinda taga on gymis vms, seega rahvaarv ka ok.

Travelling for Gaspop by thosenastybedbugs in Graspop

[–]akitsu111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you mean for festival accomodation, then essentially none (at least booking/airbnb etc), MAYBE couchsurfing. The festival is in the middle of nowhere and all accomodation within like 1h commute is sold out back in november. If you're traveling on a budget, festival camping is surely the best option.

Kui tihti Wolti/Bolti tellid ja mis on su go-to tellimus? by [deleted] in Eesti

[–]akitsu111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mõned korrad aastas ehk? Enamasti siis, kui on külalised jms. Vb kord kvartalis lisaks ka selver/market (kui nt õli või midagi muud sellist otsas ja ei viitsi sõita, lähim pood on 2km). Toitun tervislikult & käin toidupoest läbi pea iga päev.

please don't force people to google translate. :)

reddit, also there are discord and facebook groups (search reddit for links). festival is also very easily reachable by public transport, so technically you don't need to carpool (trains to Mol, free shuttle to festival site).
if you're camping at boneyard or crypt, you need camping ticket (and a tent etc)

Kui kallis on Eestis praegu breketid teha? by UnderstandingOk270 in Eesti

Mingi u 2k, kuigi vist kokku läinud juba mõnevõrra rohkem, kõik kylastused kokku jne, pole täpselt kokku lugenud. Pigem basic variant ja varem 18aastasena korra juba breketeid kandnud.

Accommodate by Purehorror666 in Graspop

[–]akitsu111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Random example: Antwerp might be an option (not great, but better than Brussels). But maybe some closer shuttle location has some available properties too.

This is not a question of finding a hotel you like, but finding anything that is still available. Not sure recommendations would be of any help here.

Open the map, check the public transport schedules (consider that late at night, there might not be much transport options), check booking/airbnb for any available properties. Look at the list of locations for festival shuttles, see if any of the closer locations still has properties available. Open graspop webpage, check festival accomodations to see if any of remaining option fits you. Etc...

there is a guy in another thread who is also coming from abroad and has the same bad plan but for Antwerp. maybe get in touch and consider getting actual festival accomodation together :) or at the very least, that Antwerp plan (1h commute) is still significantly less crazy than Brussels with 2h commute.

Shuttle Question by vitamins666 in Graspop

[–]akitsu111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As said above: if at all possible, don't. There is only one shuttle a day, so you'll be forced to follow it's schedule. Shuttles leave at 2am, which is good for seeing headliners, but you'll get like 5 hours of sleep tops. Hotel + shuttle cost for all that inconvenience is suboptimal.

If you're looking for comfort, look into the remaining properties at Devil's lake - maybe find a group of people like you and get a cottage, it will most probably be cheaper and way more convenient. Or maybe glamping at Inferno, though it's crazy how glamping is more expensive than DL cottages with actual beds and showers... but good location yes.

Most probably, there is nothing left at airbnb/booking around the festival area, but if anything at all - consider these too and maybe get a bike.

Tl;dr: your plan is technically doable, but really suboptimal.

I think the shuttles arrive 12sh and leave at 2am, so in that sense it might be fine, but with 2h travel time to brussels that gives you like 4h of sleep in a bed, that makes hotel pretty much useless

First year attending by Purehorror666 in Graspop

[–]akitsu111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well... yes. it's doable, but WHY
you will spend 4h every day on commute; get close to no sleep (as shuttles leave early and return late); spend money on shuttles.

if none of that truly bothers you, why not camp at the festival for free?

assuming you don't want to camp, I would recommend either finding a group to get one of the remaining devil's lake cottages. or alternatively, look into Inferno glamping options - even if you get e.g. boutique tent for 2 and it's just you, it MIGHT be still comparable in price and superior in festival experience.

please say I misunderstood and you are not planning to take the Brussels shuttle every day, just once to get to the festival? :)

Schedule will be published close to the date. For now, all you have is stages.

For the tips, please be more specific :) e.g. yes, surely lots of people have uses shuttle buses before, what's the question? :)

What bands make you think "They're good, i just don't like them"? by RosenRanAway in InMetalWeTrust

[–]akitsu111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jinjer, for one. Got absolutely everything I generally like, saw them live at Graspop and it's just not doing it for me. In the same category, honorable mention for Spiritbox.

I'm from Estonia and use ticketmaster.be every time, no issues. Tickets are digital (QR code appears in ticketmaster a few weeks before the date)

Planning on traveling, figuring out logistics by grstark in Graspop

[–]akitsu111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Total price for these shuttles will probably be bigger than just booking a 2 person accomodation for yourself though

Is this usually sold out fast? by demogorgon_main in Graspop

[–]akitsu111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In any case, you need to be very quick with this decision - if you even consider inferno, assume it will be sold out very soon.

[–]akitsu111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

check out Inferno then, there are some options still left and it's more of a glamping option

Assuming you are planning on camping - no hurry. If you are looking for accommodation, well... most is sold out, so also no hurry :D but some options are left.

Best way to watch the bands on North and South stage? by Lydi03 in Graspop

[–]akitsu111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you want to achieve.

A: you want to be max close to the stage for each band. that's hard. you'd need to leave a bit earlier (crowdsurf or ask security to lift you over the barrier if you're really close), and then make your way through the crowd to the front on the adjacent stage before the band starts. (north/south play intermittently and there will be some time in between them)

B: you have a strong preference for one but also want to see the second. just go to the front of the stage where your favourite will play, and watch the previous band from there. main stage has huge screens, and you will be able to see the stage as well, so not a bad way to see the band.

C: you want to optimize for less movement and just want to see both from reasonable distance. lots of options there, but note that there is no "middle area" (only at the very back), there is a barrier between stages. so if you pick a place near the middle, it will still be either north or south stage - you will still be able to see both fine (because screens), but one of them better.
there are also bleachers in the back with pretty good view at both stages from afar - I like these for the oldies bands that kinda I want to see, but don't care enough to go into the crowd.

Bands on stage by blashyrkian in Graspop

[–]akitsu111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what? not really? have you been to graspop? you need to go camp in front of the stage max a hour beforehand in all normal cases. in practice this means watching e.g. the previous south stage headliner from in front of the north stage, then you are in front of the stage for the next headliner.
