FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the bath parties in Budapest.
What are the minimum and maximum age to take part in the bath party?

Minimum age: 18 +

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).
Even though there is no age limit set, the general party crowd is about 20 – 40 years old, mostly 20-30 somethings enjoying themselves.

  1. Hi!

    Just a quick question…
    My flight lands at 9pm on Saturday and we will be getting ready before heading to the Sparty!

    Can you arrive at like Midnight and still gain entry into the Bath Party?

    ~Thank You

    • Hello Ash,
      for Saturday, July 6 all tickets are booked up already.
      As tickets are limited we recommend you book well in advance, as entries at the door are not guaranteed.

    • Marijn van der Sluijs

      Hello,

      I got a question we want to go to the SPArty in the last weekend of march 2020.
      Is that possible?

      And from what date we can get tickets?

      Greetings,
      Marijn

      • Hello Marijn,
        next year’s tickets are not on sale yet. Please check our website again in February. I am sorry that I could not be more helpful at this moment.

        • Hello, will the party night be running on the 26th February 2022? Covid restrictions dependant of course?

        • Hello Alice,

          At this moment we cannot foretell. Supposing the global vaccination rates are climbing high and there is an international consensus for accepting Covid passports in each country, it is very likely that the parties will resume. However, consensus with regard to the international acceptance of Corona virus passports (from and to Hungary) seems to be slowly moving ahead. Let’s hope the summer sheds more light on the future of safe travel and clubbing.

          Hope to welcome you in Budapest in 2022.

  2. Hi, few more questions I have.

    What is the price of a beer / drink coupon.
    Price of Towels / Flip Flops
    Do you sell alcohol by the bottle? i.e.: 75cl of Champagne etc?

    Thanks.

The balance of the cards can be topped up at TOP UP POINTS at the Party, with the amount desired (at first a minimum of 6.000 HUF and a maximum of 240.000 HUF at one go). There is a deposit of 2.000 HUF for each card + string. The string can be used as a necklace or a bracelet. After ordering, please, check the amount displayed on the screen of the card reader, and if correct, just tap your card (You even have the choice to give a tip with the card!). The remaining balance can be reimbursed in cash at top up points, any time during the party. Please note and warn all your party goers: You can claim your money back at the closing of the party at the latest. There is no reclaim after the party.

    • Please can you provide a list of available alcoholic drinks and prices? Thank you

  3. Hi, do you have any reserved areas for VIP Clients who want some exclusivity at the spa party?

    We are thinking a nice area by the pool, some bottles of champagne etc like in famous nightclubs. Is a similar service possible at the Spa Parties.

    Do advice.

    Thanks
    Karan

  4. I wanted to buy tickets to go on the 23th July with 4 more friends but normal tickets are sold out. If we try to buy them at the entrance on the day of the party what will be the price?
    Best Regards, Eduardo

    • Dear Eduardo,
      As the parties are very well-known, most tickets are sold out in advance. This means that we cannot guarantee that you will be able to buy tickets on the spot of the venue. There is only one ticket type at the cashier (standard party entry €40).
      There is no significant difference between online prices and offline prices (except for Mastercard, where Mastercard can charge up to 5-8% of transaction fee in some countries).

      • Hi

        I will be visiting Budapest with my friend during the 23rd Jul party dates and thus intend to attend the party, nonetheless, before buying the ticket online I wanted to know if males/stags are allowed?

        Br,
        Farhaj

        • Hi Farhaj,
          big group of stag parties are not welcome at Szechenyi Bath Party, and also guests who are demonstrate
          anti-social behaviour/not sober, may be refused to enter the party.

  5. Hi Baths Budapest,

    We are 4 girlz from the Netherlands and wanna join the party this saturday.
    But there are trio tickets available, but no singles anymore. Can we buy the last one at the door?

    • Hi Gwenda,

      we are really sorry, but we cannot guarantee that you will be able to buy tickets at the Sparty entrance. If you want to make sure to get into the party, the best idea would be to choose from the available ticket packages, so please buy them while they are available as they will be sold out very soon too.
      Have a great time at the Sparty!

      • Hi Baths,

        So your advice is to buy 6 tickets, as there is no combination that will make 4 tickets… that’s not ideal. But thank you for the respons!

        • Hi Gwenda,
          we are really sorry we cannot able to help more. Budapest Sparties are extremely popular, so most tickets are sold out in advance – especially the better deals. There are still a few options available, you can buy 4 tickets easily (1 Trio ticket + 1 Single express the cheapest option at the moment). We hope you will find the best option which is suitable for you, and you will have a great time at the Sparty this Saturday.

        • Do you still do limited tickets on the door?

        • Hi Cent,

          yes, there are tickets at the Budapest Spa Party entrance, but unfortunately we cannot guarantee that you will be able to buy tickets on the spot of the venue. There is only one ticket type at the cashier (standard party entry), no other ticket packages (duo / trio / fast track / group discount / premium) are sold on the spot.
