Good news: draught beer will be cheap at the 2025 festivals in Hungary: even drastic price reductions will occur

Last year, a pint of draught beer cost HUF 1,200 at the EFOTT festival, an event organised mainly for higher education students. This year, it will cost only HUF 790 (EUR 2), an almost 65% reduction. Other festivals will have very low draught beer prices to attract more visitors. Here are some additional examples.

Cheaper draught beer at Hungarian festivals

Since the Hungarian government is continuously expanding the number of products on which they introduce price caps, index.hu asked festival organisers how, among others, beer prices will develop in 2025. They received answers from four festivals: EFOTT, FEZEN, Campus and Fishing on Orfű. We wrote earlier that Sziget Festival does not plan to change last year’s beer prices.

According to the press chief of the EFOTT, Marcell Budai, a pint of draught Dreher beer will cost only HUF 790 (EUR 2) this year, a significant price reduction compared to last year’s HUF 1,200. For comparison, index.hu reminded that at some Christmas fairs in Budapest, a can of beer cost HUF 1,500 last December. He added that beer consumption fell in Hungary since the Z generation drinks less alcohol everywhere in the world.

Concerning foods, he said they do not have budget offers, but prices will start from HUF 2,500 (EUR 6.2) since sellers got accustomed to the purses of the regular buyers. Moreover, an Auchan market will also be accessible during the festival, offering even ready-made meals at their general price. Mr Budai added that they did not increase their entrance ticket and pass fees.

He said they could not invite A-list international stars, but A-list Hungarian performers will be present on stage.

This year’s EFOTT festival will be held in Sukoró, near Lake Velence.
