Q & A about Wacken Open Air

[heho6]

Hey, I've got a question. I'm searching for a name of one of the exhibitors. It was a jewelry stand, with a lot of biker stuff, rings, braceletes, with skulls, fleur de lis and so on. It wasn't one of those classic stands with the same jewelry as others, it was more expensive than the other jewelry stands, but it was a lot better also. I think it was stationed with the ones on the far left side when you enter the area from camp. Any idea?

It seams ligitimite, but there's one thing.
You cannot buy single tickets. You will have to book a travel option with it.
And They tell price is as from €221, it's actually also the ONLY price they may ask. Any higher price is not allowed.

For questions about Metaltix: www.metaltix.com.
I can also refer to the Flea Market section of the forum. But so far, more demands than offers. That'll change in May, June, July.

I got a few questions about showers.

From what I found by searching it seems that all the showers at Wacken are communal showers, is that correct or outdated?
Absolutely no individual stalls?

(I'm not comfortable enough with my body to go around in my birthday suit. I'd appreciate an alternative to having to wear swimming shorts.)

And from last year's map I see there were 6 different shower points. Are they all accessible 24/7?
Also, how long are the queues for the showers generally?

Using Hellfest as an example, if you want to take a shower when starting your day (around 9 to 12), you usually have to wait more than half an hour, maybe even more than an hour. Which is why I prefer to take a shower on the way back from the last concert (after 2) at which time I don't wait more than 10 minutes max.

Bonjour!!! On se connaît !

Je ne peux répondre que pour les masculins.
Les douches sont communes. Donc pas individuelles. Désolé.
Et comme au Hellfest, il y a des files vers 7-9 heure aussi.

Is it usually difficult to register to the Pole Sitting challenge? When it (registration) usually starts? Is there special dedicated URL to check?
Is it allowed to supply pole sitter with food, alcohol or wear?

I haven't the faintest idea!
And I reckon, you can provide them with food. Ine has to eat once in a while.

Hello, everybody!

Well I'm pretty sure you can bring a GoPro since cameras / mobile phones are allowed on the fest ground.
Worst case scenario they will tell you that you can't and you'll just need to go drop it at the camping.

I take GoPro to the stage regularly.

Thank you, it make me hope))

Hi guys!!
I've searched the forum but didn´t find an answer to my question...
It's the second time i'm going to wacken, but this time a friend wants to bring a little gas burner (campingaz). We will be taking the burner on the plane, but not the gas bottle.
do you know if they sell the gas bottles on the festival?
