Organizers recently issued the following ticketing update: "There are two reasons to buy your tickets now! First because the new government intends to increase the VAT rate on tickets from 6% to 19%. Despite all the actions that are taking place it seems unlikely that this reduction measure will be put aside. Because of this we will regrettably be forced to increase the ticket price increase on January 1st. Click here to go to buy early-bird tickets."
