Just a thought. Have you thought about the campgrounds in the area? This is a very low budget option especially if your packing your own tent. I would try that before potentially breaking any laws.
Good Luck

I dont think that you would have any problems in that. And when you are going to such a place that will be crowded at that time, you need to take care of the booking considerations and you should book a hotel in advance to save the trouble.Check the link at http://www.sletoh.co…

Well, sleeping on the streets is actually illegal in many countries… But as long as you dont get caught its ok… I did that many times and never had any problems…

Don’t know your dates but you can probably get a private single room in the Augsburg hostel for 30 euros/night with breakfast buffet included. Take the train into Munich and back (around 30-40 min or so?) for 19 euros on a Bayern Ticket. Dorm rooms there are about 20 Euros. I just checked availability for 2 nights starting 9/28.

Also look into staying far outside of the city limits. You may be able to find something decent and cheap.

Hey I like where your head’s at on this one. I’ve been thinking about doing the same thing. I’m 90% about going to the fest this year. I’m glad I’m not the only one without a place to stay. Let me know if you find out any good info. I looked around too and found nothing. I should be there during the first week of it. Maybe I’ll see you sleeping in the park somewhere.Smile
Cheers
