The nocturnal VJ Szecska bath parties are cool, fun and unforgettable. There is no upper age limit, but there is a lower age limit set at 18 years of age (if the party guards are in doubt, you will be asked to show your ID/passport as proof of age).

  1. I’d like to come February 20th and wanted to know how busy your going to be?

  2. Hello, I am coming in June 2016, I know dates aren’t available yet but do you do any parties during the weekdays not just saturdays?

  3. Is posible to book tickets form a group of 20 friends for the 23 april 2016?

    • Dear Javi,
      thank you for your inquiry.
      Unfortunately party dates in April have not been confirmed yet (but most probably there will be a party on Apr 23 though).
      I would like to inform you that there is a group discount ticket for the bath party: After every ten tickets you will get 1 free ticket. The way you can book it is 10+1 batch.
      For date updates please visit the page again next year. Thank you for your patience.

  4. How much do you recommend to bring in cash? I understand it goes on a card round neck but we are unsure how much we may need for drinks per night.
    Many thanks
    Claire

    • Hi Claire, it really depends on how much you drink at a party, and what kind of tickets you buy for the Budapest spa party. Some tickets include drink coupons (which are worth 1 glass of cocktail or 2 beers). So if you buy a plain ticket (regular or fast track, but without any extras like drink coupons), and you are a moderate drinker, let’s say drinking 1 or glasses of wine per hour, supposing you would stay between 10.30 pm and 3 am, all through the pool party duration, you would need about 16 Euros for drinking 2 glasses of wine (or 2 cans of beer) every hour.
      Perhaps it is easier to plan if you know some of the drink prices at the bath party:
      1 glass of wine (200 ml) 2 Euros
      1 can of beer (500 ml) 2 Euros
      1 shot (40ml) of Tequila, Gin, Brandy, Vodka, Rum etc. 4 Euros
      1 BOTTLE of Sparkling Wine 12 – 13 Euros
      Have a great party in Budapest, enjoy the nightlife and the thermal waters!

  5. Dear Ladies and Gentlemen!
    Do you already know when you are gonna sell the tickets for the Pre-Silvester Party (30th of December)?
    Thanks in advance!

    Cheers,
    Johannes
