Balance Croatia -2026

IndustryStandard

Anyone going? Anyone planning to go? Looked ace last year so seriously considering it. Tickets are about £260 just for the events so quire lumpy for me/Mrs IS . Wonder if you can just rock up at the events you want to go to and pay as you go. I also looked at the area and nearby hotels and AirBnBs and pretty sparse. I think if you do go you need to sign up for the whole Balance ticket/hotel package as they have tied up the one decent local hotel

IndustryStandard I’m going this year.
Think they did day tickets last year.
Barbarellas (Howells & Uncle John) is an additional price as are boat paerties (when announced) and you must have a festival ticket to board the boats as they leave from inside the festival site.

Airbnbs go quite quick during festival season in Tisno. Good luck on the accomodation hunt.

As Dutchy said look further out - Jezera, Pirovac, Murter, Betina, may be Vodice.

IndustryStandard I’ve stayed in apartments with pools the few times I’ve been there and it’s much cheaper.

I’m going. You need a whole event ticket or day passes you can’t buy seperate tickets for the events as it’s all open oncd you get in.

Accommodation can get pretty expensive, but you can get some decent rates a bit further out, albeit €40 odd each way in Ubers like I had to.do last year

matty303 …seems like more options to stay in Vodice- 8 miles from Tisno

Dan

Very tempted.

Bit cheeky there are additional costs for “land” events. Fair enough if its a boat party.

Will have to start digging around for hotels, as its going to be a hard sell to the Mrs if i’m trying to sell a glorified BangFace to her

Also IN for this. We’re staying in an apartment in Tisno town centre. Looks good, but not the best value. Worth contacting these guys to see what they’ve got available.

Garden events have always been like this. Barbarellas is a separate venue, about 20 mins cab ride from downtown Tisno, and we’ve always had to buy tickets on top of the festival ticket. For Love International, there are usually a few Barbs events to choose from, but only one for Balance next year.

Boat parties - Mrs Vin loves them, but I’ve only ever been on one. I’ve never been to a Garden event where the music has been SO up my strasse. Strongly suspect the day-by-day line-up at the main festival site will be more than enough to keep me happy 👍️ Also highly unlikely I’ll attempt 3 big nights on the bounce! 😆

IndustryStandard Wait until you hear about the wrist band for all payments in the festival site, boats & barbs 😉

Again, now common through all the Garden site based festivals (I believe).

Here’s another option for you IS.

Get hold of some dynamite Mick Mills and just go straight through ruling out the need for accommodation.

IndustryStandard

Smallman1 …that is an option Mrs IS may veto….will propose.

Am tempted by this next year so some useful info here 👍🏻

RichM If you are I’d decide sooner rather than later due to the accommodation going quickly.
