Party Card Budapest Sparty Cinetrip Szechenyi Baths

REFUND: Unused tickets will not be refunded. Damaged tickets may or may not guarantee entry to the party.

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). Kindly note that the party is organised by a third party company who has their own dedicated customer service. So if you contact us rather than the Sparty we will not be able to reschedule the date of your party ticket.

PRINT: Once payment is made online you will have to print out the digital voucher. Only printed tickets are accepted. If you buy several tickets, you will need to print them all. Please bring your ID with your tickets. Make sure to keep your printed tickets intact: damaged tickets (missing any of the two sides, or torn) do not guarantee entrance.

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.

FOUNDERS: the artistic director of the Budapest bath parties is Laszlo L. Laki, the executive director is Gyorgy Klinko

  1. Hi. Are the parties wheelchair friendly??

    • Szechenyi Spa Baths

      Hello Natalie,

      unfortunately, currently Szechenyi Spa & Baths is not accessible with wheelchair as the accessible chair lifts / ramps etc. are in need of renovation. The wheelchair lifts have been rusting away in recent years and need a complete renewal (the bath is raising support to comply with accessibility). We would advise to visit a more wheelchair friendly thermal baths in Budapest. Sorry about the inconvenience.

      That said, party helpers can lift wheelchair guests. If you are arriving in a wheelchair we kindly ask you to inform us when booking the ticket, so that we can get prepare to welcome you.

      • Hi, what date in 2020 do the spa parties start?

      • We are wanting to book trio and duo tickets are we able to have the duo ticket people use the cabins with us as there is 8 of us. Or is there a better way of booking for 8 people

        • Szechenyi Spa Baths

          Hi Kerry,
          The cabins at Szechenyi Bath can comfortably take up 1 person, and a bit more tightly even a couple to get changed. However, if you wish to use the cabin as a couple or as a family, we suggest getting changed by taking turns.
          For 8 people, however, we would advise buying tickets for 4 people with cabins and 4 tickets with lockers only. Thank you.
