The organizers have sold over 30,000 tickets and multi-day passes for the festival’s four days and expect over 50,000 spectators in the festival’s main area in each of the four days. Some 600 young people have donated blood to receive free or discounted tickets for the festival, in a popular pay with blood campaign that managed to raise 275 liters of blood for the transfusion centers in Cluj-Napoca and Bucharest. The festival’s biggest stages will be on the Cluj Arena stadium, in the new Polyvalent Hall, and the main access point will be the city’s central park. The budget for organizing this event, which may be the biggest music festival in Romania, exceeds EUR 4 million. Untold Festival brings some of the most popular international DJs to Romania, featuring famous artists such as Avicii, Armin van Buuren, and David Guetta. The festival has boosted the hotel business in Cluj-Napoca, as some 95% of the available accommodation in the city has already been booked for the event’s period. The municipality has also prepared for the high tourist wave by setting up over 6,000 new parking spaces, most of them at the city’s outskirts, and by providing non-stop public transport, according to Digi 24 news station.

The campaign wants to promote and encourage blood donations in Romania. Until July 24, all blood donors from regional and county transfusions centers can get cheaper Untold Festival subscriptions if they access untoldfestival.com and fill out the donor form. Moreover, those who will donate blood at the mobile caravan in Bucharest’s Herastrau Park between July 17 and July 19, and at the Blood Transfusion Centre in Cluj-Napoca between July 20 and July 21, will receive one-day tickets to the festival. “Untold Festival takes place in Cluj-Napoca, in the heart of Transylvania, a place which made Romania famous worldwide with Dracula legends. Given that Romania is facing an acute shortage of blood in medical facilities, a campaign inspired by these legends to draw attention to a real problem is more than welcomed,” said Bogdan Buta, the festival’s general director. Romania ranks second to last in Europe the number of active blood donors, according to National Institute of Blood Transfusion data, cited by a statement of the festival. Only 1.7% of Romania’s population donates blood, and most of them become blood donors only when they need to help a close person. Untold Festival will take place between July 30 and August 2 in Cluj-Napoca, central Romania. Its line-up includes big names in the international electronic music, such as Avicii, Armin van Buuren, David Guetta, ATB, Fedde le Grande, and Patrice. =================
