“The 490,000 we estimate is well over our expectations for 450,000-460,000 visitors. Week-long passes were sold out before the festival and day passes sold out on August 11, when Rihanna performed. It looks like interest for the Sziget was stronger than expected: day pass sales were much better than we thought, and we had favorable weather, too. The festival could generate several hundred million forints of profit,” Gerendai said.
