BARRIER-FREE RFP: THE ULTIMATE INFO FOR 2023
Everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask (or someone already asked for you and we thought it appropriate to spread the answers).
TICKETS
We offer discounted admission for disabled and disabled/PP card holders and accompanying persons. You can conveniently purchase them online.
SHIPPING
You can arrive by car (parking info below) or by public transport. There will be a shuttle service to the festival from the main train station, which is next to the bus station, specifically low-floor city buses with a platform for wheelchair users.
PARKING
If you are driving and want to park within the grounds, purchase parking in advance here. There is a special VIP parking area for disabled and PWDs, as close as possible to the main entrance of the venue. If you have extra space in your car, offer it for carpooling (there will be a Facebook event soon).
KEMP
There will be a dedicated space for several tents within the standard campground as close to the main entrance as possible. There will be a wheelchair accessible locking toilet in the campsite. You can also purchase a camping ticket online.
SANITARY FACILITIES
Lockable accessible mobile toilets will be located throughout the festival grounds and in the specially designated camping area. The locks will be by numerical code (the number combination will be given to you at the info point or in the accessible rest tent). Two wheelchair accessible showers with a Eurokey locked toilet can be found in the area next to the wheelchair accessible tent. If you do not have a Eurokey, the tent staff will lend you one.
RAISED PLATFORMS
At the two main open air stages (KB stage and YouTube Music stage) there will be raised platforms for a better view of the stage. Only wheelchair users are allowed on the platform. There is no charge for access to the platform, nor is it possible to reserve the space in advance
ACCESSIBILITY OF THE AREA
Mobile ramps made of recycled plastic will be placed in the area to make important points such as accreditation or information accessible, as well as dining and relaxation areas, partner zones, festival merch, hangars, bars, etc.
WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE REST TENT
The tent can be found near the Petr Svoboda stage. Entrance is restricted to disabled persons and disabled persons with an accompanying person. It is a space for rest, refreshment, at the same time the tent serves as an info point, you can recharge your electric wheelchair (or phone) and we can help with basic repairs of the wheelchair (or call someone 🙂 ). In the tent there will be seating bags, couches, tables with benches. The tent will be manned and open until about 11pm.
ASSISTANCE AND GUIDE DOGS
You can’t escape the noise and sounds at the festival. At the same time, this year we expect an attendance of 40,000 people, so not even in front of people. The venue is located in the area of a former military airfield, so there is not much shade. It is therefore not a suitable environment even for specially trained dogs. Please leave them at home and take a human partner or partner who will enjoy the festival with you.
WHERE TO GET MORE INFORMATION AT THE FESTIVAL
Most essential information, including a map and programme, can be found on this website.
There is an info point at the festival in the so-called 24-hour zone (outside the festival grounds). A wheelchair-accessible rest tent will be the central repository of information. Any questions can also be sent via social media.
Before the festival, email Radka Hajkova at [email protected], who is in charge of the RfP project. In case of extreme emergency, you can call 730 158 883.
