as I'm not from Finland I better write in English, since my Finnish is best called "not that good".
I've got some questions regarding the festival, Helsinki and Finland in general, 'cause this year's Tuska will be my first one:
1. As far as I know the beer in Norway costs 28€ a sixpack, how much does it cost in Finland?
2. Bottles are not allowed at the festival site, plastic bottles are, how about (these infamous 0,5 L) cans?
3. May sound stupid, but can one purchase food and beer at the festival ground? What about the prices? Are they "finnish" or "international"? On German festivals beer costs 2 to 4€ per cup.
4. I'm planning to reside at the Eurohostel. Are there cheaper ways of spending the night in Helsinki? Don't say Tavastia.
5. Tuska website says, as far as I remember, that once you entered the festival ground you may not leave it. If you do so, you won't be allowed to reenter. Is it really that harsh?
So far, so good. Kiitos jokaisesta vastauksesta!
1. Beer is pretty cheap in Finland, at least compared to Norway prices. You should be able to get 24 cans (33cl) of beer for about 20€ here.
2. Don't know, sorry.
3. Yes, you can. I'd guess the price range is from 4-8€. Don't take my word on it, though.
4. You could take a tent with you and rent space at Rastila camping area. I don't know their prices. Here's some info on it, in english: http://www.camping.fi/template_ypage1.a ... &sua=2&q=y
5. I have no idea, maybe some other board member can answer this?
