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 +
Maximum age: none
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.
What is the music like at the Szechenyi bath party?
The spa party music is mostly triphop, funk, psychedelic music, so if like this sort of music and can enjoy the spa bath parties continuously re-painted with colourful laser beams, it is your chance to come and enjoy something unique. A must-see in Budapest, Hungary.
Can I use the whole bath complex during the spa party?
No, only the outdoor pools are open, the indoor thermal pools, saunas, plunge pools, octagonal pools, massage therapies, etc. are closed. Indeed they close each day at 7 pm in Szechenyi Baths. Your party ticket is only valid from after 9.30 pm when the party begins and is valid until 2 am when the party ends.

CHANGE DATES: Changing the date of tickets may only take place in due time before the party date with the consent of the party organizers. Please contact the customer service to get your party date fixed. Last-minute changes are usually not allowed as there is no time to process a request in due time. With ‘Flexi Booking’ you can reschedule the date of your program up to 72 hours before the date of the event by contacting the customer service via email (the Sparty email address is indicated on your online ticket).

ONLINE: online party ticket sales will stop at 6 pm on the given party date. If tickets remain you may try to buy them at the entrance of the baths at the same price as online.
PARTY CARDS: you will use a special waterproof payment card, which is the exclusive payment used at the party (to buy drinks at the bar, or spa party equipment upon entering, like flip flops, towels, robes, etc.).. This means that inside the party zone in Szechenyi Bath no cash or credit card is accepted; the only payment option at the party is the Sparty Pay Card. The balance of the card expires at the end of the party. Please do not forget to claim your card refund of the remaining balance at the end of the party (until 2.40 am possibly), as no refunds will be paid after the party if you forget to get your balance while being at the party. This also means that should you attend another bath party, the balance of the previous party is non-transferable. The card goes with a string (basically it is a lanyard).
BATH WRISTBANDS: your waterproof party ticket will be provided upon entering the baths. This looks like a silicon wristwatch with a blank watch face. The wristband is not merely a proof of payment in the pools, but also your locker/cabin key. If you lose the wristband, you will pay a fine of HUF 3,000 (the party organisers reserve the right to increase the penalty over the year).
Miscellaneous
INSURANCE: party tickets include insurance (on condition that your blood alcohol level is below 2,2 ‰). The insurance is for minor injuries, theft.
STORAGE: online tickets include a bath locker (or cabin, if you buy the more expensive tickets). But if you happen to arrive later than the party begins, available places may run out. If there are no more lockers available, you will be given a waterproof plastic bag + an accompanying wristband ID at the entrance. After getting changed, you may hand in your plastic bag to the party personnel who will safeguard your bag.
CUPS: In order to be more environment-friendly, drinks at the bath party are served in reusable cups. The price of each cup is 700 Forint. Look after your cup during the Sparty to avoid being charged for a cup again. At the end of the party night you can return the cup at the SpartyPay points or at the bars and you will receive 350 Forint in return. Please note that only 4 cups per SpartyPay card can be cashed back.
