The final stages in getting ready for the ninth annual Electric Castle are packing light, downloading the EC app, and taking care of issues like tickets and top-ups online. On Wednesday at 14:00, two hours early for the 15,000 attendees sleeping in EC Village, the festival gates open to the public.

The EC guide includes information such as the ideal times to attend to the festival to avoid crowds, information on objects that are allowed in the event area, and measures thought for the safety of the public, all of which participants are advised to peruse.

Each participant’s agenda should include two phone numbers. Anyone who is experiencing any kind of distress, whether it be emotional or physical, is encouraged to contact the festival’s Safety Line at 0731.333.100. The “Angel shot” code, which can be communicated to any bar and results in immediate assistance for the individual in need, remains operational in addition to the dedicated phone number. There is a separate WhatsApp discussion for transportation-related alerts at +40 749 863 286.

To avoid long lines at the entrances, all transportation and parking passes can be purchased in advance online. At Electric Castle, you can’t buy anything with cash; instead, you use your festival bracelet to do so. Charging the bracelet’s connected account can be done online or at one of the 25 top-up locations spread around the festival. Following the conclusion of the festival, any remaining balance will be repaid either on-site or digitally according to the protocol provided by the event’s organisers.

Over 300 acts are scheduled to perform at each edition, making it difficult to see everyone you want to see. All of this and more (festival map, first aid stations, merchants, activities, etc.) can be found in the official EC app. This allows you to schedule your presentations according to the time of day. Using the app, attendees may check the schedule for the festival’s most anticipated events and use the Find My Car feature to speedily return to their vehicle in the parking lot.

Day passes and season passes for Electric Castle 9 can be purchased from the festival’s official website, www.electriccastle.ro.
