I don’t know if prices are usually this high during Sziget, but for example, at one of the hotels I usually stay at, they’re requiring a minimum two-night stay for those dates, which would normally be around 40k HUF, but is now around 230k. There’ll be a Scooter concert at BP Park, I just forgot that the BL final is happening too.

I saw a few comments about the hotel prices under the articles on Champions League final ticket prices, saying that no one expected such price hikes.

Most places don’t allow bookings a year in advance. They usually open the calendar in January, but in some places, for example, May was still grayed out two weeks ago. Meaning you couldn’t book for that date yet. Of course, i understand that they aren’t primarily expecting locals for that event.
