Yes, prices have gone up! This is due to the daily fees charged by the site owner - we have to cover our costs so that Sydney Confest can continue to be an ongoing event. But where else can you spend five days/four nights being free amongst beautiful people for less than $25 a night? Remember also that the site includes showers, toilets and a kitchen - so we can spend less time setting up / packing away and more time enjoying ourselves with our friends!
Anyone who is feeling super-generous and is also able to cover the cost of someone less fortunate than themselves, please contact us and let us know.
