Transylvania Calling 2009 NEWSLETTER

Greetings to you from Transylvania,

the summer and with it Transylvania Calling is fast approaching, there are
only
5 full moons until the the day turns to night on the worlds most mystical and
remote festival.
Its about time to plan your trip to Transylvania :)
so here some news for you to get you started for yet another massive explosion
of
art, music, dance, culture and expression!
An organic festival with no impact on the beautiful Transylvanian nature.

Website and Pre sale is finally been launched!
We are still working on it on a regular basis but you can access already allot
of info about the first stage of line up, tickets, this years concept, the
gallery, travel-guide and more. Some information you can even find translated
in different languages. to check if its already translated in your language
just click your flag on the top right!

We would like to take this opportunity to answer a few of the most popular
questions we have been receiving from you all.

1. Festival Capacity
The festival is being designed for 2000 people and the location can hold about
3000 people. We understand that many of you are used to bigger festivals than
this. But the physical and logistical reality of the project does not allow
for bigger than this. Already we have 2000 people on the list, and this is
growing everyday. So please be prepared to book your flights/busses and
tickets or packages NOW to avoid disappointment.

2. Travel to Transylvania
and the festival On the website you can check the travelguide to inform
yourself about possibilities of getting here and around Romania by plane,
train, bus and by car. You also find info and tickets for shuttles from Sibiu
to the venue and the Ozora Festival to Transylvania Calling Bus. shuttle bus
tickets should be booked in time trough the website to help make
transportation more organised. If you need to get to a certain location after
the festival (Budapest, Bucharest, etc) and you dont know how make sure to
drop by the Infobooth right after your arrival. We will help organise and if
enough people for a certain route we can book busses or find other solutions
for you to not have to worrie about that anymore.

3. Accommodation and Food
on the venue during the Festival. On the venue are only 50 beds in share room
cottages available which you can reserve directly with the owner of the place.
Please contact beddmt.ro and we will forward you to the right person. There
are also Hotels and Pensions in the village but with 20 km its quite far and
not really reasonable if you want to experience the festival! The festival is
a outdoor event and camping is the way to go. Camping will operate for a total
of 8 days. Bring your tents, sleeping bags, warm clothes and camping gear. We
will have national and international restaurants and food outlets to keep you
fed and we have free springfresh drinking water for our guests.

4. Weather conditions in Transylvanian Mountains.
Usualy August is the hottest month of the year in Romania. From 23 to 36
degrees in daytime, nights/mornings can be fresh and humid with 10 to 18
degrees. Also in Mountains we always have a small chance for fast rain coming
in which can be quite magic sometimes but we hope and believe it will be nice
and warm troughout the festival. We advise to read the camping info and get
prepared well for the 7 days out in the mountain. The festival camping will
operate for a total of 8 days. Bring your tents, sleeping bags, warm clothes
and camping gear.

5. Ecological Impact to the venue.
In our next newsletter we will explain exactly how the organisation is going
to manage the impact of the festival and balance its harm against its benefit.
This will form part of your agreement to come to the festival. It will require
advanced eco consciousness on the behalf of ALL the participants. The only
trace we can leave on the venue is Art and Consciousness. For our Eco Village
we are searching for organisations that can help make this event as green and
sustainable as possible and give us a hand in educating Ecologic thinking to
the interested participants.

6. Tickets

Transylvania Calling only 300 Limited early bird tickets available 32
(early bird = someone that gets his ticket early:) 1700 presale tickets
available 43 at gate the price is 64 and the tickets there will be
limited in function of how many presale tickets have been sold till then. In

7.Artistic Line up
We know a lot of you are very interested in this. We are still in talks with
artists and labels. The first release for the lineup has been added to the
website and the second will be in the next couple of months. Expect a very
diverse selection of contemporary psychedelia and electronic music ranging
from old school legends to modern midday groovers. The intention is to bring
